摘要:
A method of forming carbon nanotube-polymer composites includes the steps of forming a mixture solution including a plurality of carbon nanotubes dispersed in a co-solvent. The co-solvent includes an organic solvent and a second solvent being a short chain fluorinated carboxylic acid having a boiling point below 150° C. which is less oxidizing than nitric acid, and is soluble in both the organic solvent and water. The first polymer is mixed with the mixture solution to form a polymer including mixture. The co-solvent is removed from the polymer mixture to form a dispersed nanotube-polymer composite. The second solvent can be trifluoroacetic acid.

Method and apparatus for memory device testing at a higher clock rate than the clock rate provided by a memory tester. The method includes providing a memory tester capable of generating a first clock signal characterized by a first clock frequency, and applying the first clock signal to the memory device. The method also includes receiving a command for activating a high-clock-frequency test mode. The method generates a second clock signal in the memory device in response to the first clock signal. The second clock signal is characterized by a second clock frequency which is higher than the first clock frequency. The method then tests the memory device at the second clock frequency. In a specific embodiment, the method is applied to a serial flash memory device. The invention can also be applied to testing and operating other memory devices or systems that include synchronized circuits.
摘要:
Systems and methods for handling a transition of a roaming mobile user device (i.e., a roaming client) from one access point (AP) to a target AP, referred to herein as soft inter-AP handoff. This technique involves a second mobile user device that is already connected with the target AP, called a roaming coordinator, assisting in handoff coordination between the APs. This coordination includes assisting the roaming client in establishing a client-to-client connection to relay data traffic during the handoff, while the roaming client establishes a connection with the target AP using traditional techniques. Soft inter-AP handoff allows a faster hand-off between APs than traditional techniques, and may reduce jitter in communications with the roaming device during the transition.
