When the stylet is thus inserted, it provides added stiffness to the lead and helps facilitate placement and steering of the lead...

Described is the concept of repairing Imprint Lithography Templates during the manufacturing process. The proposed development is to insert a repair strategy after pattern etching the template hardmask (typically chrome) and prior to relief etching the base template (typically quartz). While this invention was...

A method of oversampling data received on a high-speed serial interface of an FPGA overcomes the limitations of the phase adjustment mechanism included in the receivers. The limited range of phase adjustment is compensated by double sampling of incoming data, in order to enlarge the total range of possible receive...
