摘要:
A method and apparatus for simulating, in conjunction with a source of ionizing radiation, intense pulsed electromagnetic fields and time varying conductivity caused by the gamma radiation associated with a nuclear detonation. An enclosed space, including the source of ionizing radiation is separated into three spaces, each space separated from the adjacent space by a gas impermeable, radiation permeable barrier. A guided wave structure, pulsed with high voltage pulses in conjunction with the firing of the source of ionization radiation is disposed adjacent to the barrier separating two of the spaces. A gas handling system is provided to introduce a selected non-ionizing gas and a selected ionizing gas into the spaces on either side of the barrier adjacent to the guided wave structure.

A partially manufactured semiconductor chip comprising a slice and a number of shells is a template for a communication and networking chip. The slice has a number of I/O ports, blocks, and PHYs. The hardmac PHYs are established to correspond to a high speed data transmission protocol. The interior of the template comprises logic gate arrays and configurable memory. Once particular protocols of data receipt and transmission are selected, the logic gate arrays and configurable memory can be programmed and otherwise configured to develop protocol layers for data networking and communication.

The present invention is a method and apparatus for implementing a source synchronous interface in a platform using a Generic Source Synchronous Interface (GSSI) infrastructure. The GSSI infrastructure includes the GSSI bit slices and clock management system. The GSSI bit slice includes balanced cells and bit delay elements, and may be placed either within or close to IO buffers. The GSSI clock management system includes strategically placed frame delay elements with automatic on-chip calibration and control to satisfy various clock-data phase relationships. The GSSI methodology shows how different SSIs may be constructed by combining the common GSSI architecture with unique metal layer configurations. The GSSI architecture solves a critical challenge for platform-based design such as RapidChip™ and the like. The GSSI approach introduces a completely new way to implement various SSIs based on a common minimally diffused GSSI bit slice and clock management infrastructure. This enables one slice of a platform family to be used for many applications, removing the need to provide different slices with different diffused hard macros for different applications.
