    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to provide a parallel test mode for multi-core processors. A test access port (TAP) in a first processor core generates a first test data output (TDO) from a first test data input (TDI) or a first delayed TDI according to a TDO select bit. The first delayed TDI is clocked by a test clock (TCK). The first processor core has a first core circuit. The TAP generates a phase select word. A clock generator generates a clock signal synchronized with the TCK and has a low phase and a high phase. A first enable circuit enables first core data from the first core circuit in one of the low and high phases of the clock signal according to the phase select word.

    Abstract: A bending mechanism for flexible waveguide uses a combination of an elongate arm (1), two short bracket arms (3 & 7) and a gear train (5, 11, 13 & 9) linking the bracket arms to bend a flexible waveguide (24) over a range of positions. The bend is formed to the shape of a circular arc the radius of which varies with the position. Each short bracket arm is pivotally connected (15 & 17) to a respective end of the elongate arm and to a respective one of the waveguide's two end flanges (23 & 25). Each bracket arm contains a gear that rotates with the respective bracket arm about the bracket arm's pivot; and an even number of gears interlinks those gears whereby pivotal movement of one of the flanges in a clockwise direction produces an effective relative pivotal movement of the other flange. The bending mechanism allows for as much as 180 degrees of repetitive reciprocal rotation of one flange relative to the other without imposing significant stress on the flexible waveguide, providing an ideal long lasting interface between a mechanically scanning microwave antenna and a microwave transmitter/receiver.

    Abstract: An apparatus for the bending of a flexible conduit having first and second ends includes first and second assemblies which are fixed for relative rotation with the first and second ends. An axis of rotation passes through the first and second assemblies. The apparatus further includes a driven gear fixed for rotation with the first assembly. The driven gear is adapted to cooperate with a drive gear to rotate the first assembly with respect to the second assembly. The first assembly includes a first extendable portion which attaches directly to the first end. Similarly, the second assembly includes a second extendable portion which attaches directly to the second end. The first and second assemblies function to vary the distance between the axis of rotation and the first and second ends as the first assembly is rotated with respect to the second assembly.
