A microfluidic filtration unit for trapping particles of a predetermined nominal size present in a fluid is provided. The unit comprises a fluid chamber connected to an inlet for introducing the fluid to be filtered and an outlet for discharging filtered fluid, a filtration barrier arranged within the fluid chamber, said filtration barrier comprising a plurality of pillars arranged substantially perpendicular to the path of fluid flow when fluid is introduced into the fluid chamber, said pillars being aligned to form at least one row extending across said path of fluid flow, wherein each of said at least one row of pillars in the filtration barrier comprises at least one fine filtration section comprising a group of pillars that are spaced apart to prevent particles to be filtered from the fluid from moving between adjacent pillars, and at least one coarse filtration section comprising a group of pillars that are spaced apart to permit the movement of particles between adjacent pillars.

Methods and apparatus operating in a stream processing network perform load shedding and dynamic resource allocation so as to meet a pre-determined utility criterion. Load shedding is envisioned as an admission control problem encompassing source nodes admitting workflows into the stream processing network. A primal-dual approach is used to decompose the admission control and resource allocation problems. The admission control operates as a push-and-pull process with sources pushing workflows into the stream processing network and sinks pulling processed workflows from the network. A virtual queue is maintained at each node to account for both queue backlogs and credits from sinks. Nodes of the stream processing network maintain shadow prices for each of the workflows and share congestion information with neighbor nodes. At each node, resources are devoted to the workflow with the maximum product of downstream pressure and processing rate, where the downstream pressure is defined as the backlog difference between neighbor nodes. The primal-dual controller iteratively adjusts the admission rates and resource allocation using local congestion feedback. The iterative controlling procedure further uses an interior-point method to improve the speed of convergence towards optimal admission and allocation decisions.

In a method for visualizing query results in stream processing systems, a visualization service receives a query from a client to visualize data in a stream processing application. The query is sent from the visualization service to a query-able operator of the stream processing application. At the query-able operator, an operation is performed using history data in the query-able operator to produce a first result that satisfies the query and the first result is sent to the visualization service. At the query-able operator, another operation is performed using new data received by the query-able operator to produce a second result that satisfies the query and the second result is sent to the visualization service. The first and second results are output from the visualization service to the client.

The invention relates to a method of making an integrated circuit inductor that comprises a silicon substrate and an oxide layer on the silicon substrate. In one aspect, the method comprises depositing an inductive loop on the oxide layer, and making a plurality of apertures in the oxide layer beneath the inductive loop. The method also comprises providing a plurality of bridges adjacent the apertures and provided by portions of the oxide layer between an inner region within the inductive loop and an outer region of the oxide layer without the inductive loop, the inductive loop being supported on the bridges. The method comprises forming a trench in the silicon substrate beneath the bridges, to provide an air gap between the inductive loop and the silicon substrate.
摘要:
In the prior art LDMOSFET devices capable of handling high power have been made by locating the source contact on the bottom surface of the device, allowing for good heat sinking, with connection to the source region being made through a sinker. However, this structure has poor high frequency characteristics. Also in the prior art, good high frequency performance has been achieved by introducing a dielectric layer immediately below the source/drain regions (SOI) but this structure has poor power handling capabilities. The present invention achieves both good high frequency behavior as well as good power capability in the same device. Instead of inserting a dielectric layer over the entire cross-section of the device, the dielectric layer is limited to being below the heavily doped section of the drain with a small amount of overlap into the lightly doped section. The structure is described in detail together with a process for manufacturing it.

An inductor has a spiral aluminum track deposited on an oxide layer over a silicon substrate. The substrate is etched away to form a trench, which extends around beneath the track and provides an air gap having a low dielectric constant. The oxide layer has an inner region within the track, an outer region outside the track and a bridging region extending between the other regions. The bridging region is comprised of intact bridges and gaps therebetween, which are open to the trench and through which an etchant has access to the silicon substrate to form the trench by etching.
