Dual-function laser systems and methods are disclosed. In one implementation, an apparatus includes a laser source configured to emit a beam; an optical element spaced apart from the laser source; and a diffractive element positioned to diffract the beam to provide a diffracted beam to the optical element such that the optical element refracts the diffracted beam to form an approximately collimated central portion and a diverging outer portion.

The invention relates to a method for regulating the electrical voltage in electrical supply networks and / or consumer units and a device for carrying out said method. A regulating transformer (3) is inserted between a network node (1) in the supply network and / or consumer unit and at least one end user (2). The regulating transformer (3) comprises a high leakage impedance, which limits the ring current to the order of magnitude of the nominal current, in the case of a short-circuit between adjacent tappings (5) of the partial windings (4). The regulating transformer further comprises a transfer switch (7), to switch the partial windings (4).

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for technique for capturing and storing a level of an input signal using a single-trigger low-energy flip-flop circuit that is fully-static and insensitive to fabrication process variations. The single-trigger low-energy flip-flop circuit presents only three transistor gate loads to the clock signal and none of the internal nodes toggle when the input signal remains constant. The output signal Q is set or reset at the rising clock edge using a single-trigger sub-circuit. A set or reset may be armed while the clock signal is low, and the set or reset is triggered at the rising edge of the clock.

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for technique for capturing and storing a level of an input signal using a dual-trigger low-energy flip-flop circuit that is fully-static and insensitive to fabrication process variations. The dual-trigger low-energy flip-flop circuit presents only three transistor gate loads to the clock signal and none of the internal nodes toggle when the input signal remains constant. One of the clock signals may be a low-frequency “keeper clock” that toggles less frequently than the other two clock signal that is input to two transistor gates. The output signal Q is set or reset at the rising clock edge using separate trigger sub-circuits. Either the set or reset may be armed while the clock signal is low, and the set or reset is triggered at the rising edge of the clock.

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for capturing and holding a level of an input signal using a low-clock-energy latch circuit that is fully static. The clock is only coupled to a first clock-activated pull-up or pull-down transistor and a second clock-activated pull-down or pull-up transistor. The level of the input signal is captured by a storage sub-circuit on one of the rising or the falling clock edge and stored to generate an output signal until the clock transitions. The level of the input signal is propagated to the output signal when the storage sub-circuit is not enabled. The storage sub-circuit is enabled and disabled by the first clock-activated transistor and a propagation sub-circuit is activated and deactivated by the second clock-activated transistor.

The invention belongs to the technical field of die production, and provides a die making-orientated cloud service combination method and platform. The method comprises the steps of obtaining a service request, and retrieving a service flow model base, if a service flow matched with the service request exists, setting the service flow as a target service flow, or otherwise, dividing the service request into multiple service points according to semantics to perform service recombination, obtaining the service flow matched with the service request, performing feasibility detection, if it is qualified, setting the service flow which passes detection as the target service flow, and if the detection is not qualified, generating a target service flow according to the pre-obtained service resource information and service request; and correcting the flow mode of the target service flow, and correlating specification parameters. By virtue of the die making-orientated cloud service combination method and platform provided by the invention, different die services can be combined flexibly and effectively, the cooperative capability of die enterprises can be improved, and diversified service requirements can be satisfied.

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for capturing and holding a level of an input signal using a latch circuit that presents a low number of loads to the clock signal. The clock is only coupled to a bridging transistor and a pair of clock-activated pull-down or pull-up transistors. The level of the input signal is propagated to the output signal when the storage sub-circuit is not enabled. The storage sub-circuit is enabled by the bridging transistor and a propagation sub-circuit is activated and deactivated by the pair of clock-activated transistors.

A method for defense against primary user emulation attacks in cognitive radio networks includes the steps of generating an advanced encryption standard (AES)-encrypted reference signal with a transmitter for transmitting to at least one receiver. The method also includes the steps of allowing a shared secret between the transmitter and the at least one receiver and regenerating the reference signal at the at least one receiver and using the regenerated reference signal to achieve accurate identification of authorized primary users as well as malicious users.

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a clamping circuit that is used to maintain a bit line of a storage cell in a memory array at a nearly constant clamp voltage. During read operations the bit line is pulled high or low from the clamp voltage by the storage cell and a change in current on the bit line is converted by the clamping circuit to produce an amplified voltage that may be sampled to read a value stored in the storage cell. The clamping circuit maintains the nearly constant clamp voltage on the bit line. Clamping the bit line to the nearly constant clamp voltage reduces the occurrence of read disturb faults. Additionally, the clamping circuit functions with a variety of storage cells and does not require that the bit lines be precharged prior to each read operation.
