摘要： The present invention includes an optical transceiver having a fiber module with an optical data input and an electrical data output. The fiber module further includes a signal detect output that indicates the receipt of valid optical data. A physical layer device having a receive input is coupled to the electrical data output through a switch that is controlled by the signal detect output. The switch passes electrical data from the electrical data output of the fiber module to the receive input when the signal detect output indicates the receipt of valid optical data, and does not pass the electrical data when the signal detect output indicates invalid optical data. By using this configuration, the signal detects pins of the physical layer device are eliminated. In another embodiment, the switch is not utilized, and the electrical data output of the transceiver is ac-coupled to the differential receive input of the physical layer device. In this embodiment, the transceiver does not output electrical data when the optical data signal is invalid. Therefore, electrical data is identified at the receive input by the detection of a voltage variation on the differential receive input.

摘要： A fuse corner pad is part of an integrated circuit that includes a built-in fuse contact and a plurality of auxiliary pads. The fuse contact is a conductive metallic or metalloid structure that is connected to a fuse element. The fuse contact and fuse element are used inside of the fuse corner pad for programmability (e.g., for security) and/or adjustment (e.g., trimming) of analog and/or digital signals. The fuse contact and fuse element are not required to be bonded to an external electrical connection (such as, a pin or ball). The auxiliary pads provide a variety of functional or non-functional applications, such as testing, probing, programming, and/or circuit adjustment.

摘要： According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for improving video quality by leveraging time zone delays occurring during transmissions of programs. The method comprises an operation of determining a time zone delay between a broadcasting source of a program and a targeted destination for the program. Thereafter, the program is transmitted to the targeted destination where the resolution is equal to at least twice of a normal resolution and/or transmission data rate is equal to no more than one-half of a normal transmission data rate.
