摘要： A parabolic trough solar collector system has a parabolic reflector used with an independently supported collector tube. The parabolic reflector has a reflective surface formed on a reflective surface support structure, supported by a circular support beam. This assembly rests on a plurality of support and drive rollers supported by a roller support arm, supported by a roller support column. The parabolic reflector assembly rotates against the rollers along a single axis to maintain a focus line of the parabolic reflector surface at the same location as the center of the circle described by the outer edge of the circular support beam. Located at this same focus line is the independently supported collector tube not attached to the parabolic trough reflector. The collector tube is supported on pipe roller hangers, which in turn are supported by a wire catenary system connected to support towers which straddle the parabolic reflector.

摘要： A network switch includes a look-up engine for obtaining associated data in response to a header portion of a packet and an interlinked network processor such as a RISC for performing a processing function on the header portion or the associated data. Both look-up engine and the network processor may modify a destination port bitmask. The network processor may implement additional packet header processing required for replication or server load balancing.

摘要： The present invention is based on a ring architecture wherein each chip in the multiplicity of chips is connected in a chain so that it can receive packets from the next previous chip in the chain and forward packets to the next following chip in the chain, whereby to form a ring. Before a packet is placed on the ring by a device it is provided with a ‘masking’ field which identifies each of the other devices and the ports within any such device to which the packet must be sent in order to achieve a multicast. When a device in its turn receives such a packet it will examine the masking field to determine whether the field identifies that device. If so, the packet, which may be held in temporary storage, may be processed for forwarding from a port of that device. The device will strip from the masking field the identification of the respective device and transmit the packet with a thus modified masking field to the next device in turn. If a packet does not contain any indication of another device in the ring, the packet will not be transmitted and therefore will naturally terminate.

摘要： A system including an ordered data table containing linked lists of MAC addresses has a multiplicity of search engines which have their access to an LRU engine under the control of a token which is passed from one search engine to the next when the LRU engine has completed reordering the table after an address look-up. The system avoids conflicts between searching and reordering and allows reordering to be performed at a controlled rate.

摘要： A network switch includes a transmit queue of packets along with indication (e.g. in respective status words) of the type of each packet and its size. An arbitrator includes a counter which is incremented by the size (e.g. in bytes) of each packet of a first type (e.g. ‘low-loss’) and decremented by a scaled size of each packet of a second type (e.g. ‘normal loss’). If the queue exceeds a set limit, preferably less than the maximum possible size of the queue, packets are discarded if a scaled packet of the second type exceeds the net content of the counter.

摘要： Trunking or other relationship is defined between ports on different devices in a cascade connected stack of network devices. When network communications are passed via the cascade connection an indication is included of whether it originated from a port which is part of a trunk and thereby port-mismatch errors can be avoided.

摘要： A forwarding database in a network switch is established and maintained by performing a look-up for a source address read from an incoming frame to find a match between the source address in the frame and the source address in an entry which includes that source address, a port number and an age field. New entries are made if matches are not found, so that the forwarding database facilitates the dispatch of frames to destination addresses corresponding to source addresses in the table. The performance of a source address look-up is inhibited in the absence of a token, a reservoir of tokens being decremented each time a source address look-up is performed and incremented from time to time, at a selectable rate. The process facilitates the performance of a destination address look-up for every received frame by restricting the bandwidth made available for source address look-ups.

摘要： Methods and hardware for generating variable-density plasmas are described. For example, in one embodiment, a process station comprises a showerhead including a showerhead electrode and a substrate holder including a mesa configured to support a substrate, wherein the substrate holder is disposed beneath the showerhead. The substrate holder includes an inner electrode disposed in an inner region of the substrate holder and an outer electrode being disposed in an outer region of the substrate holder. The process station further comprises a plasma generator configured to generate a plasma in a plasma region disposed between the showerhead and the substrate holder, and a controller configured to control the plasma generator, the inner electrode, the outer electrode, and the showerhead electrode to effect a greater plasma density in an outer portion of the plasma region than in an inner portion of the plasma region.

摘要： A liquid injection system for a processing chamber includes a liquid injector that receives a liquid from a liquid supply and that selectively pulses the liquid into a conduit. A control module selects a number of pulses and a pulse width of the liquid injector. A gas supply supplies gas into the conduit. A sensor senses at least one of a first temperature and a first pressure in the conduit and that generates at least one of a first temperature signal and a first pressure signal, respectively. The control module confirms that the selected number of pulses occur based on the at least one of the first temperature signal and the first pressure signal.
