A 32-GHz coupled-cavity maser design is described. The theory and the predicted performance of cavity masers are included. A coupling cavity in the signal waveguide enables tuning of the maser over the 500-MHz-wide deep-space frequency allocation from 31.8 GHz to 32.3 GHz. The ruby cavity is simultaneously resonant at 32 GHz in the TE101 mode and at the pump frequency of 66.4 GHz in the TE301 m...

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of our Network Time Interface (NTI) M-Module, which facilitates high-accuracy time distribution in LAN-based distributed real-time systems. Built around our custom UTCSU VLSI chip, it hosts all the hardware support required for interval-based external clock synchronization: A high-resolution state-and rate-adjustable clock, local accuracy intervals, ...

Measurements of the transport properties of cellulose membranes for the mixtures methanolwater and formamide-water are reported. The measured approach of the mole fractions of the nonelectrolyte to its equilibrium value are interpreted in the framework of linear irreversible thermodynamics in a novel way. The permeabilities of the membranes of the different substances are discussed in terms of ...

A possible way of defining M theory as the CS theory for the supergroup OSp(1|32) × OSp(1|32) is investigated, based on the approach by Horava in hep-th/9712130. In the high energy limit (expansion in M), where only the highest (R) terms survive in the action, the supergroup contracts to the D’Auria-FreM theory supergroup. Then the contracted equations of motion are solved by the usual 11d supe...

A 32×32 64b self-arbitrating switch fabric called SWIFT achieves a bandwidth of 2.1Tb/s with single cycle arbitration and data transfer la-tency in 65nm technology while operating at 1026MHz at 1.2V. SWIFT co-optimizes arbiter and crossbar logic using a unique fabric architecture that integrates conflict resolution with data routing to optimally use logic and interconnect resources. It spans 0....

Steganography embeds a secret message in a seemingly innocuous cover-object. This paper presents a framework for steganography with executables as cover-objects built on top of an existing binary rewriter. Executables differ significantly from previously explored coverobjects, we thus first identify the cover-specific redundancies that can be used to embed a secret message. Techniques are then ...

The sensitivity of monolayers of Ilford L-4 nuclear emulsion to beta(-)-particles is approximately 0.20 grain per particle emitted for H(3), and 0.025 grain per particle for p(32). The sensitivity for thick layers is 1.3 grains per tritium beta(-)-particle emitted within the emulsion. In electron microscopic autoradiographs the maximum resolution is approximately 0.1 micron for H(3) and 0.3 mic...
