Abstract: A chip assembly configuration includes an substrate with an integrated circuit on one side and a conversion mechanism on the other side. The integrated circuit and the conversion mechanism are electrically coupled by a short electrical transmission line through the substrate. Moreover, the conversion mechanism converts signals between an electrical and an optical domain, thereby allowing high-speed communication between the integrated circuit and other components and devices using optical communication (for example, in an optical fiber or an optical waveguide).

Abstract: An MCM includes a two-dimensional array of facing chips, including island chips and bridge chips that communicate with each other using overlapping connectors. In order to maintain the relative vertical spacing of these connectors, compressible structures are in cavities in a substrate, which house the bridge chips, provide a compressive force on back surfaces of the bridge chips. These compressible structures include a compliant material with shape and volume compression. In this way, the MCM may ensure that facing surfaces of the island chips and the bridge chips, as well as connectors on these surfaces, are approximately coplanar without bending the bridge chips.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates use of a printer. During operation, the system obtains, on an electronic device, a set of supported capabilities from the printer. Next, the system provides, to a user of the electronic device, the set of supported capabilities within a workflow for using the printer without installing printer-specific software for the printer. Upon detecting a selection of a supported capability from the provided set of supported capabilities by the user, the system determines if the supported capability requires the printer-specific software. If the supported capability does not require the printer-specific software, the system enables use of the supported capability by the user without using the printer-specific software to provide the supported capability to the user. If the supported capability requires the printer-specific software, the system uses the printer-specific software to provide the supported capability to the user.

Abstract: An integrated condenser is described. This integrated condenser includes an outer surface region on a sampler surface that facilitates condensing at least a component in a received gas-phase sample into liquid-phase droplets on the sampler surface, and aggregating and moving the condensed droplets radially toward an inner surface region on the sampler surface that receives the condensed droplets. For example, the outer surface region may include a set of micro-patterned concentric rings, each of which includes a set of radially oriented wall-groove pairs. Moreover, the sampler surface may be increasingly less hydrophobic along a radial direction toward the center of the sampler surface, thereby creating an axisymmetric wettability gradient.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the execution of a print job. During operation, the system receives, at a printer, a signal from a portable electronic device indicating the printer has been selected for the print job. Next, in response to the selection, the system generates an output that facilitates identification of the printer by a user of the portable electronic device. The system also provides a mechanism for confirming physical access to the printer by the user. Upon confirming the physical access to the printer by the user, the system establishes a direct connection between the portable electronic device and the printer, wherein the direct connection is subsequently used by the portable electronic device and the printer to perform the print job.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that performs power management on a computer system. The system includes an embedded controller and an operating system. During the execution of a sleep sequence by the operating system, the embedded controller latches events associated with use of the computer system. After the sleep sequence has completed, the embedded controller compares the latched events with a set of enabled wake events for the computer system and a current state of the computer system. If the latched events indicate that the current state corresponds to one of the enabled wake events, the embedded controller triggers a wake sequence on the computer system.

Abstract: A semiconductor die 110-1 is described. This semiconductor die includes a driver 114-1, and a spatial alignment transducer 116-1 that is electrically coupled to the driver and which is proximate to a surface 112-1 of the semiconductor die. The driver establishes a spatially varying electric charge distribution in at least one direction in the spatial alignment transducer, thereby facilitating determination of a vertical spacing 210 between a surface of the semiconductor die and a surface 112-2 of another semiconductor die 110-2. In particular, a spatial alignment sensor 120-2 proximate to the surface of the other semiconductor die may detect an electrical field (or an associated electrostatic potential) associated with the spatially varying electric charge distribution. This detected electric field may allow the vertical spacing between the surfaces of the semiconductor dies to be determined.
