A light apparatus includes s light arrangement and a highlighting element. The light arrangement includes a light housing, at least a connector coupling with the light housing for electrically connecting to a power supply source, and at least a light source received in the light housing for generating a non-neon light to penetrate through the light housing. The highlighting element is provided at the light housing and arranged in such a manner that when the light passes through the light housing, the highlighting element creates a neon light emitting effect at the light arrangement.

An illuminating sign includes a base panel; an illuminating unit, and a front casing. The front casing includes a metallic light blocking frame attached on the base panel for enhancing a strength of the front casing, wherein the light blocking frame has a plurality of through slots spacedly formed thereon, a plurality of illuminating members securely supported in front of the base panel, and a highlighting element provided at the illuminating members, wherein when the illumination unit is operated for generating the light towards the front casing, the metallic light blocking frame not only blocks the light passing therethrough but also facilitates efficient and effective heat transfer from the illuminating unit to an exterior of the front casing for preventing the illuminating unit from being overheat within the front casing.

Femto cells that extend mobile network coverage into customer premises operate in a frequency band typically assigned to a macro network. As disclosed, to facilitate system discovery and registrations of mobile stations with femto cells, a carrier designates one the channels within the band as a primary channel for its femto cells. For example, neighbor list messages transmitted by macro network base stations can provide frequency and PN code information directing mobile stations to search the primary channel for a PN code of the femto cells. Also, a mobile station PRL may identify femto cells by SID/NID. The SID is that of the carrier's macro network, whereas the NID may be a NID of the macro network or one specifically assigned to femto cell operations. The PRL uses frequency acquisition information for the femto cells that is the same as or similar to that for one of the macro networks.

An improved arithmetic logic unit (ALU) of an erasable-programmable logic device (EPLD) with a flexible, programmable carry function allows a broad range of functions to be implemented. The inventive circuit utilizes a separately configurable carry chain with multiple logic and arithmetic function capabilities.

In a programmable logic device having a plurality of external pins each of which may be driven by an output drive structure controlled by a programmable logic block, a logic device such as an OR gate or a programmable pull-up or pull-down switch is inserted between the input terminal of the output drive structure and the programmable logic block or other internal logic block which controls the output driver. This inserted structure allows the macrocell to be used for internal logic while the output drive structure is used to stabilize power or ground voltage.

A carry-lookahead structure for programmable architectures includes a number of M-bit carry lookahead units, each M-bit unit having two parallel programmable carry paths having AND gates controlled by configuration bits to program the beginning and end of an operating carry chain within the M-bit units, as well as the beginning locations in each unit, one path generating a first set of carry bits for the case of the carry-in equal to 0, and the other generating a second set of carry bits for the case of the carry-in equal to 1, and at least one multiplexer controlled by the carry-in for selecting one of the two carries at the most significant bit of the first and second sets of carry bits as carry-out of the unit. Each M-bit unit may further include multiplexers controlled by the carry-in for selecting which of the first and second sets of carry bits are the correct carry bits for addition and M sum logic elements for generating the outputs of sum bits. An alternative is an adder in which the precomputation of the sums is performed for the two possible values of carry-in in each M-bit unit, providing two sets of sum bits, and where multiplexers select which of the two sets of the sum bits is the correct sum and which of the two carry bits produced in the most significant bit of the unit is used as the carry-out of the unit in response to the actual carry-in value of the unit.

An input block for PLDs programmable logic devices) has a flip-flop including a master latch and a slave latch, a pad for inputting data, configuration bits, and a global clock input signal for clocking the input data to the flip-flop means. The flip-flop is controlled by the configuration bits so as to function alternatively as a register, a latch or transparently. The input block further includes at least one clock enable signal input terminal and logic elements responding to the configuration bits for providing the clock enable signal for the register function as well as the latch function of the flip-flop.

A programmable logic device is presented comprising a global interconnect array whose lines are fed via programmable multiplexers to logic array blocks. The global interconnect array lines are fed to the multiplexers in a specific pattern which maximizes the user's ability to route a selected line to the output of a selected multiplexer, while at the same time maintaining higher speed and lower power consumption, and using less chip array than prior art programmable logic devices using programmable interconnect arrays based on erasable programmable read-only memories.

Apparatus and a method for measuring average individual gate delays on integrated circuit wafers without the need for high bandwidth is provided. A chain of gates is provided on the wafer. A reference signal is propagated through the chain to produce a delayed signal. The delayed signal is logically combined with the reference signal to provide a periodic train of pulses whose period is proportional to that of the reference signal. The pulse widths represent the total gate delay of the chain, and are determined by statistically sampling the pulse train to determine its duty cycle. The apparatus and method are compatible with automated testing equipment and methods which can be synchronized with the reference signal.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for reducing the possibility of erroneous operation in integrated circuit structures such as Programmable Interconnector arrays (PIAs) in high-density Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) due to unintentional transmission of coherent switching transients from word lines to bit lines. The logical states of appropriate PIA word lines are inverted in a way that reduces the possibility of coherent switching of multiple word lines in the word lines and bit line swithcing matrix. This technique requires little or no area overhead and is completely transparent to the user. It changes the perforamnce of the PLDs so that situations in which worst-case conditions apply become highly unlikely, whereas these same worst-case conditions are very likely to arise in prior PLDs.
