Abstract: One or more examples relate to a detector. A signal that the detector is configured to sense is a differential value. Such a differential value may be indicative of a difference in self-capacitance indications that are exhibited at first and second internal capacitors. Such a differential value may be proportional to a relationship between a first material and a second material present at a device-under-test coupled to electrodes of the detector. Such a differential value may be proportional to a vertical elevation of a surface of a material present at a device-under-test coupled to electrodes of the detector. A difference in coupling capacitances may be obtained by performing complimentary acquisition processes utilizing symmetric capacitive sensors. When the acquisition processes are performed substantially simultaneously, coupling error indications that may be present in the self-capacitance indications are not present in the differential value.

Abstract: A method and apparatus in which a data stream generated by a previous network node, a cumulative phase offset report (CPOR) and a client rate report (CRR) are received. A counter accumulating a PHY-scaled stream clock (IPSCk) is sampled at a nominal sampling period (Tps) to obtain a cumulative PHY-scaled count (CPSC). A PHY-scaled stream phase offset (PSPO) is calculated that indicates phase difference between a PHY-scaled stream nominal bit count (LPSD) and an incoming PHY-scaled count delta (IPSD), where IPSD indicates CPSC increment between successive CPSC samples. The data stream is demultiplexed to obtain CBR carrier streams that include a previous network node CPOR (CPOR-P) and a previous network node CPO (CPO-P). A CPO is calculated that is a function of CPO-P and the PSPO. CPO-P is replaced with the calculated CPO. The CBR carrier streams are multiplexed into intermediate-network-node data streams that are transmitted from the intermediate-network-node.

Abstract: A network switch and associated method of operation for establishing a low latency transmission path through the network which bypasses the packet queue and scheduler of the switch fabric. The network switch transmits each of a plurality of data packets to the identified destination egress port over the low latency transmission if the data packet is identified to be transmitted over the low latency transmission path from the ingress port to the destination egress port, and transmits the data packet to the destination egress port through the packet queue and scheduler if the data packet is not identified to be transmitted over the low latency transmission path from the ingress port to the destination egress ports.

Abstract: System and method for analyzing CXL flits at read bypass detection logic to identify bypass memory read requests and transmitting the identified bypass memory read requests over a read request bypass path directly to a transaction/application layer of the CXL memory controller, wherein the read request bypass path does not include an arbitration/multiplexing layer and a link layer of the CXL memory controller, thereby reducing the latency inherent in a CXL memory controller.

Abstract: A system and method for double data rate (DDR) chip-kill decoding using an array of ECC erasure decoders operating in parallel to identify a location of a chip-kill event associated with a DDR memory device. The ECC erasure decoder that correctly identifies the chip-kill location is then used to decode subsequent DDR bursts transmitted from the DDR memory device.

Abstract: A method for erasing a ReRAM memory cell that includes a ReRAM device having a select circuit with two series-connected select transistors. The method includes determining if the ReRAM cell is selected for erasing. If the ReRAM cell is selected for erasing, the bit line node is biased at a first voltage potential, the source line node is biased at a second voltage potential greater than the first voltage potential and the gates of the series-connected select transistors are supplied with positive voltage pulses. The difference between the first voltage potential and the second voltage potential is sufficient to erase the ReRAM device in the ReRAM cell. If the ReRAM cell is unselected for erasing, the gate of the one of the series-connected select transistors having its drain connected to an electrode of the ReRAM device is supplied with a voltage potential insufficient to turn it on.
