Using the category of frames we consider various generalizations of the patch space of a topological space. Some of these constructions are old and some are new. We consider how these variants interact and under what circumstances they agree.

Without knowledge of the issues, the right tools, and a well-thought out development methodology, floating-point applications can in fact suffer the same problems as fixed-point equivalents. The reduced precision and range of fixed-point numbers means that fixed-point applications encounter stability problems more easily than floating-point applications, but both types of applications encounter...

Inter-chip signaling latency and bandwidth can be key factors limiting the performance of large VLSI systems. We present a high performance, transmission line signaling scheme for point-to-point communications between VLSI components. In particular , we detail circuitry which allows a pad driver to sense the voltage level on the attached pad during signaling and adjust the drive impedance to ma...

Advances in functional neuroimaging techniques have made it possible to study both the neuroanatomical and neurophysiological responses associated with acupuncture. An impressive body of literature has identified a distributed network of brain activity that is evoked by stimulation with acupuncture needles and is subject to considerable modulation by a variety of stimulus parameters, contextual...
