A client-side intelligent device having background caching of web pages within a digital television (DTV) system and method of same. The present invention includes a digital television system having an intelligent device for interfacing with a user/viewer and controlling the display of information on a display screen. The intelligent device, in one embodiment, is a set-top-box, but could be any intelligent electronic device or computer system. The set-top-box is configured to receive a DTV signal (e. g. , land based cable or digital satellite system) that includes audio/visual information as well as data signals in a datacast format. The datacast format includes web pages, e. g. , in the HTML (hypertext markup language) format of the world wide web. The DTV broadcasters support multiple channels of information on which content providers can supply a domain of web pages on a periodic basis. The present invention is able to display viewer-selected web pages on the DTV system.

A loop filter circuit in a phase lock loop, which also includes a phase detector, a charge pump, and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The loop filter circuit is comprised of two active filters and a common mode feedback control differential comparator (CMFCDC). The active filters process differential signals from the charge pump and output a pair of differential signals to the VCO. The CMFCDC provides a common mode feedback path to both active filters. The loop filter circuit eliminates common mode noise introduced by power supply and ground, and reduces phase jitter in the overall PLL circuits. Each of the active filters is comprised of two independent sets of passive elements that dictate the values of natural modes (poles) and transmission zeros (zeros) of the filtering modules. This allows PLL designers wider latitude in adjusting the unity gain bandwidth of the active loop filter, which contributes to a more stable and better performing PLL circuit.

A system allows users to send electronic mail messages having prioritized delivery. A server receives an electronic mail message that contains a specified priority or a specified time frame for delivery. The server determines a time frame for delivery and selects procedures to ensure delivery of the electronic mail message within the determined time frame. The server then provides the electronic mail message to the receiving account within the determined time frame.

A flip-flop circuit with metastability reduction having two internal flip-flops connected in a parallel configuration relative to an input line with a input data delay connected to the data input of one of the flip-flops. The outputs are combined and since at least one of the flip-flop outputs should be stable, if the output of one of the flip-flop goes into a metastable state, the output of the other flip-flop will stabilize it, thus producing a stable output.

The subject invention relates to broadband optical metrology tools for performing measurements of patterned thin films on semiconductor integrated circuits. Particularly a family of optical designs for broadband, multi-wavelength, DUV-IR (185900 nm) all-refractive optical systems. The designs have net focusing power and this is achieved by combining at least one positively powered optical element with one negatively powered optical element. The designs have small spot-size over the wavelength range spanning 185-900 nm with substantially reduced spherical aberration, axial color, sphero-chromatism and zonal spherical aberration. The refractive optical systems are broadly applicable to a large class of broadband optical wafer metrology tools including spectrophotometers, spectroscopic reflectometers, spectroscopic ellipsometers and spectroscopic scatterometers.

327117, 377 47

A phase interpolator circuit that produces 2 phase resolution elements using a control signal that has less than m bits. The circuit combines the function of a divide-by-N circuit with a phase interpolation circuit enabled by the use of a higher-speed clock as an input. By performing phase interpolation at a high speed and then slowing down the speed for the subsequent circuits, the phase resolution increases and fewer control bits are required.

An improved control and monitoring system for managing more than one computer system using a witch with a single connector for keyboard, video and mouse signals for each computer being managed. A notebook style display, keyboard, and pointing device attached to the switch provide a human interface. Each computer is attached to the switch using a cable having a single connector at the attachment point to the switch and separate connectors for keyboard, video, and pointing device signals at the attachment point to each computer, thus allowing a greater density of connections to computers without modifying the computers being controlled and monitored. Even greater densities may be realized by designating one switch as a master and attaching additional switches to the master.
