摘要： A parallel processor is disclosed which combines the advantages of an array of bit-serial processors and an array of word-oriented processors. Further, the invention provides for ready communication between data organized in bit-serial fashion and that organized in parallel. The processor comprises a plurality of word-oriented processors, at least one transposer associated with each processor, said transposer having n bit-serial inputs and m bit parallel outputs and a bit-serial processor associated with each bit-serial input of the transposer. The parallel processor further comprises a memory for each bit-serial processor and a data bus interconnecting the memory, the bit-serial processors and the bit-serial inputs of the transposer. The transposer converts serial inputs to parallel, word organized outputs which are provided as inputs to the word-oriented processors. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, three or more transposers are used in connection with each word-oriented processor so as to provide a pipelining capability that significantly enhances processing speeds.

摘要： A multi-chip module (MCM) is described. This MCM includes two substrates, having facing surfaces, which are mechanically coupled. Disposed on a surface of a first of these substrates, there is a negative feature, which is recessed below this surface. A positive feature in the MCM, which includes an assembly material other than a bulk material in the substrates, at least in part mates with the negative feature. For example, the positive feature may be disposed on the surface of the other substrate. Alternatively, prior to assembly of the MCM, the positive feature may be a separate component from the substrates (such as a micro-sphere). Note that the assembly material has a bulk modulus that is less than a bulk modulus of the material in the substrates. Furthermore, at least a portion of the positive feature may have been sacrificed when the mechanical coupling was established.

摘要： A system that fabricates a semiconductor chip. The system places patterns for components which require fine line-widths within a high resolution region of a reticle, wherein the high resolution region provides sharp focus for a given wavelength of light used by the lithography system. At the same time, the system places patterns for components which do not require fine line-widths outside of the high-resolution region of the reticle, thereby utilizing the region outside of the high-resolution region of the reticle instead of avoiding the region. Note that the coarseness for components placed outside of the high resolution region of the reticle is increased to compensate for the loss of optical focus outside of the high resolution region.

摘要： A computer architecture for enterprise device applications provides a real-time, bi-directional communication layer for device communication. An identity-based communications layer provides for secure, end-to-end telemetry and control communications by enabling mutual authentication and encryption between the devices and the enterprise. The identity-based communications layer is situated between a network layer and an application layer and transmits a message between two devices identified by a global address. The global address specifies a protocol, a network, and an address meaningful for the combination of the protocol and the network.

摘要： A digital computer comprises a plurality of processing elements, a communications router, and a control network. Each processing element performs data processing operations in connection with commands, at least some of the processing elements performing the data processing operations in connection with the commands in messages they receive over the control network. Each processing element also generates and receives data transfer messages, each including an address portion containing an address, for transfer to another processing element as identified by the address. At least one of the processing elements further generates the control network messages for transfer over the communications router. The communications router comprises router nodes interconnected in the form of a "fat-tree," and the control network comprises control network nodes interconnected in the form of a tree, with the processing elements being connected at the leaf nodes of the respective communications router and control network.

摘要： A fire-protection mechanism is described. The fire-protection mechanism includes multiple, overlapping cavities that can be filled with water (and, more generally, a fluid). When the fire-protection mechanism is deployed over an object, such as a building, and the cavities are filled with water, the fire-protection mechanism reduces the likelihood that the object is damaged by the heat associated with a fire proximate to the object, such as a wild fire. In particular, the heat capacity and latent heat of the water significantly increase the thermal time constant of the object, thereby reducing the likelihood of combustion. The fire-protection mechanism may include a reflective coating to redirect infrared radiation away from the object to provide further protection. In addition, the water in the cavities may be refilled, as needed, by directing a stream of water onto the fire-protection mechanism and/or through an internal channel in the fire-protection mechanism.
