摘要： A rack and pinion gear assembly 10 (FIG. 1) includes a resilient bushing which urges the rack into meshing engagement with the pinion. An arcuate inside bearing surface 54 (FIG. 4) of the bushing 18 has a larger radius of curvature than the curved outside surface 52 of the rack 12 against which it bears. The rack thus makes tangent contact with the bushing 18. When one portion of the bushing 18 is worn and therefore excessive play appears in the steering gear assembly 10, the bushing may be removed from the housing 16 of the assembly and rotated 180.degree. and then reinserted into the housing to thereby provide an unworn bearing surface which slidably engages the rack 12. The bushing 18 includes a plurality of axially extending grooves 70, 72, 74, and 76 through which lubricant is supplied to the bearing surfaces 52 and 54. In a second embodiment (FIG. 5) the aperture 50b in the bushing 18b through which the rack 12b extends has a square cross section and is in tangent contact with the rack at two locations 84 and 86. In a third embodiment (FIG. 3) the aperture 50c in the bushing through which the rack 12c extends is composed of four arcuate segments 100, 102, 104, and 106 each having the same radius of curvature, and each having a different center of curvature 110, 112, 114, and 116, respectively. This provides tangent contact between the rack 12c and the bushing 18c at two axially extending areas 120 and 122.

摘要： A protocol is used to coordinate the use of a common communication medium by one or more interrogating commander stations and an unknown plurality of responding responder stations. Each commander station and each responder station is equipped to broadcast messages and to check for error in received messages. When more than one station attempts to broadcast simultaneously, an erroneous message is received and communication is interrupted. To establish uninterrupted communication, a commander station broadcasts a command causing each responder station of a potentially large first number of responder stations to each select a random number from a known range and retain it as its arbitration number. After receipt of such a command, each addressed responder station transmits a response message containing its arbitration number. Zero, one, or several responses may occur simultaneously. By broadcasting requests for identification to various subsets of the full range of arbitration numbers and checking for an immediate error-free response, a commander station can determine the arbitration number of every responder station capable of communicating at the time. Consequently, a commander station can conduct subsequent uninterrupted communication with each responder station, for example by addressing only one responder station. Responder stations of this invention require minimal logic and circuitry to respond to multiple commander stations.

摘要： A power supply for on-chip memory on an integrated circuit powered by a voltage source includes an on-chip logic circuit, a voltage identification bus and an on-chip variable voltage regulator. The on-chip logic circuit receives power from an off-chip variable power supply and generates a voltage identification signal that provides control information regarding a desired current state of the off-chip variable power supply. The voltage identification bus receives the voltage identification signal from the on-chip logic circuit. The on-chip variable voltage regulator receives power from the voltage source. The on-chip voltage regulator is controlled by an on-chip voltage regulator control logic circuit that is in communication with the voltage identification bus. The on-chip voltage regulator control logic circuit is responsive to the voltage identification signal and causes the on-chip variable voltage regulator to supply an array voltage to an array that tracks the current state of the off-chip variable power supply.

摘要： An integrated circuit includes a first clock island, a second clock island, a clock generator, and a first programmable delay element. The first clock island is configured to receive a first clock signal. The second clock island is configured to receive a second clock signal. The clock generator is configured to provide a generated clock signal and the first and second clock signals are based on the generated clock signal. The first programmable delay element is coupled between the clock generator and the first clock island. The first programmable delay element is configured to receive the generated clock signal and provide the first clock signal. The integrated circuit is configured to account for a clock skew between the first and second clock signals when information is transferred between the first and second clock islands. In this manner, a predetermined amount of the clock skew may be introduced between the first and second clock signals to smear out, over time, instantaneous power supply current demands of respective logic within the first and second clock islands.

摘要： A monitor bank consists of test one time programmable memory that is programmed distinctively from functional one time programmable memory in order to determine whether the functional one time programmable memory has or will program successfully. In a specific embodiment, each monitor bank consists of a first eFuse configured to expectedly never blow, a second eFuse configured to expectedly always blow, and at least a third eFuse configured to be more difficult to blow than the first eFuse, but easier to blow than the second eFuse. The method of determining whether functional eFuses have or will be programmed successfully is described: programming a monitor bank; sensing whether the test eFuses have blown; creating a monitor bank bit line blow pattern; determining an anticipated bit line blow pattern; comparing the two patterns; and determining that the functional eFuses will not blow successfully if the patterns do not match.

摘要： A method for forming a semiconductor structure including parallel spaced conducting traces each physically separated by a grounding trace. The grounding traces are located in between the conducting traces to provide a shielding structure to diminish capacitive coupling between the conducting traces. At the same time, each conducting traces is capacitively coupled to each adjacent pair of grounding traces and the grounding traces are connected to a ground such as a grounded substrate. The grounding traces are formed on a different layer of the semiconductor structure from the conducting traces such that a layout area of the conducting traces is not affected.
