20080238606 | Near-Field Miniature Coupler - A near-field coupler for a RFID system is provided. The coupler is configured to selectively communicate with a targeted transponder from among a group of multiple adjacent transponders. The coupler includes a conductive strip terminated by a load. The load is for matching an input impedance of the coupler to a source impedance of a transceiver. The conductive strip is based on a quarter wavelength of the center operating frequency. The conductive strip may have a substantially constant width and a length substantially equal to the quarter wavelength. Or the conductive strip may have a variable width defining a tapered profile and a length less than the quarter wavelength. The tapered profile may be an exponential profile or a Klopfenstein profile. Due to the overall size of the coupler to a typical transponder, the center of the coupler and the center of the transponder may be offset during coupling. | 10-02-2008 |

20080303628 | SCALABLE TWO-STAGE CLOS-NETWORKING SWITCH AND MODULE-FIRST MATCHING - A configuration scheme for IQC switches that hierarchizes the matching process reduces configuration complexity by performing routing first and port matching afterwards in a three-stage Clos-network switch. This scheme applies the reduction concept of Clos networks to the matching process. This, in turn, results in a feasible size of schedulers for up to Exabit-capacity switches, an independent configuration of the middle stage modules from port matches, a reduction of the matching communication overhead between different stages, and a release of the switching function to the last-stage modules in a three-stage switch. The switching performance of the proposed approach using weight-based and weightless selection schemes is high under uniform and non-uniform traffic. The number of stages of a Clos-network switch can be reduced to two. | 12-11-2008 |
