The adjusted clock signal can be used to provide a clock signal to a functional circuit provided in the semiconductor die to assure proper operation of the functional circuit while operating with performance, voltage, temperature (PVT) delay variations. In this regard, a performance monitoring circuit is provided in the semiconductor die that includes the functional circuit. As a result, the performance monitoring circuit may be exposed to similar delay variations as the functional circuit. The performance monitoring circuit is configured to measure a performance characteristic(s) associated with the semiconductor die. The performance characteristic(s) is used to adjust a clock signal to provide an adjusted clock signal to the functional circuit for proper operation based on the performance characteristic(s). | 10-13-2011 |

20100113899 | Alignment System for Optically Sampling a Hand - This invention relates to measurements of material properties by determination of the response of a sample to incident radiation, and more specifically to the measurement of analytes such as glucose or alcohol in human tissue. Some example embodiments of the present invention provide an optical sampling apparatus including an optical subsystem, having a receiver for receiving light expressed from tissue; and an alignment subsystem, adapted to urge a portion of a hand placed in operative relationship with the alignment subsystem into a defined configuration relative to the receiver. In some such example embodiments, the alignment subsystem includes a substrate having a plurality of projections therefrom disposed in a pattern such that the projections urge a portion of a hand placed on the substrate to a defined configuration relative to the receiver. In some such example embodiments, the alignment subsystem includes a substrate having a surface defining a volume approximating the shape of a portion of a hand such that the volume urges a portion of a hand placed therein to a defined configuration relative to the receiver. In some such example embodiments, the alignment subsystem includes a surface having a generally U-shaped cross-section and extending for a distance, wherein the surface is mounted relative to the sampling means such that a finger placed in the U-shaped cross-section of the surface is urged to a defined configuration relative to the receiver. In some such sample embodiments, the alignment subsystem is customized to portion of the hand of a specific individual. | 05-06-2010 |
