20110069794	METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION - Aspects of a method and system for interference cancellation substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, as set forth more completely in the claims. In this regard, a receiver may be operable to receive a differential signal via a differential channel, and to sense a common mode signal on the differential channel. A frequency range in which interference is present in the common mode signal may be determined. The differential signal and the common mode signal may be filtered to attenuate frequencies outside the determined frequency range. A phase and/or amplitude of the filtered common mode signal may be adjusted based on the filtered differential signal and the adjusted and filtered common mode signal may be subtracted from the received differential signal. The common mode signal may be sensed via a pair of resistors coupled to the differential channel.	03-24-2011
20120002711	METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADAPTIVE TONE CANCELLATION FOR MITIGATING THE EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE - Aspects of a method and system for adaptive tone cancellation for mitigating the effects of interference are provided. In this regard, an Ethernet PHY may receive one or more signals via a corresponding one or more physical channels and generate one or more estimate signals, each of which approximates interference present in a corresponding one of the received signals. The Ethernet PHY may subtract each one of the estimate signals from a corresponding one of the received signals. The subtracting may occur at the input of one or more slicers in the Ethernet PHY. The received signals may be processed via one or more equalizers in the Ethernet PHY. A decision output of a slicer in the Ethernet PHY may be subtracted from one of the said one or more received signals, and a signal resulting from the subtraction may be utilized to generate the one or more estimate signals.	01-05-2012

20090055146	Vanes for exposure to vibratory loading - Disclosed are methods for designing vanes that, in use, are expected to be exposed to vibratory loading, in particular rotor or stator vanes for aero engines or turbomachinery. A quantitative characteristic (modeshape) is used which is a measure of correlation between the excitation force to which the vane is to be subjected in use and a vibrational mode of the vane, corresponding to a characteristic frequency of the excitation. The modeshape of the first design is determined. Then the first design is modified to give a second design, by one or more of leaning, sweeping or twisting the blade design, or by altering the local shape of the design, or by altering the material of the design. Then the modeshape of the second design is determined. The design modification gives rise to a reduction in the forced response levels.	02-26-2009

20080198678	PROGRAMMABLE SRAM SOURCE BIAS SCHEME FOR USE WITH SWITCHABLE SRAM POWER SUPPLY SETS OF VOLTAGES - A memory circuit has a high voltage and low voltage supply nodes. One of a first and second sets of voltages is selectively applied to the supply nodes of the memory circuit in dependence upon memory operational mode. If in active read/write mode, then the first set of voltages is selectively applied. Conversely, if in standby no-read/no-write mode, then the second set of voltages is selectively applied. A low voltage in the second set of voltages is greater than a low voltage in the first set of voltages by a selected one of a plurality of low offset voltages, and a high voltage in the second set of voltages is less than a high voltage in the first set of voltages by a selected one of a plurality of high offset voltages. The offset voltages are provided by diode-based circuits that are selectively active. Selective activation is provided by either selectably blowable fuse elements or selectively activated switching elements.	08-21-2008
