PCIe 4.0 Will Still Deliver 75W of Slot Power
Subject: Graphics Cards, Motherboards | August 29, 2016 - 01:20 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: pcie, PCI SIG
Last week, various outlets were reporting (incorrectly) that PCIe 4.0 would provide "at least 300W" through the slot. This would have been roughly equal to the power draw that a PCIe 3.0 GPU could provide with an extra six-pin and an extra eight-pin power connector, but do so all through the slot.
Later, the PCI-SIG contacted Tom's Hardware (and likely others) to say that this is not the case. The slot will still only provide 75W of power; any other power will still need to come from external connectors. The main advantage of the standard will be extra bandwidth, about double that of PCIe 3.0, not easing cable management or making it easier to design a graphics card (by making it harder to design a motherboard).
Introduction, Specifications and Packaging
It's been too long since we took a look at enterprise SSDs here at PC Perspective, so it's high time we get back to it! The delay has stemmed from some low-level re-engineering of our test suite to unlock some really cool QoS and Latency Percentile possibilities involving PACED workloads. We've also done a lot of work to distill hundreds of hours of test results into fewer yet more meaningful charts. More on that as we get into the article. For now, let's focus on today's test subject:
Behold the Micron 9100 MAX Series. Inside that unassuming 2.5" U.2 enclosure sits 4TB of flash and over 4GB of DRAM. It's capable of 3 GB/s reads, 2 GB/s writes, and 750,000 IOPS. All from inside that little silver box! There's not a lot more to say here because nobody is going to read much past that 3/4 MILLION IOPS figure I just slipped, so I'll just get into the rest of the article now :).
The 9100's come in two flavors and form factors. The MAX series (1.2TB and 2.4TB in the above list) come with very high levels of performance and endurance, while the PRO series comes with lower overprovisioning, enabling higher capacity points for a given flash loadout (800GB, 1.6TB, 3.2TB). Those five different capacity / performance points are available in both PCIe (HHHL) and U.2 (2.5") form factors, making for 10 total available SKUs. All products are PCIe 3.0 x4, using NVMe as their protocol. They should all be bootable on systems capable of UEFI/NVMe BIOS enumeration.
Idle power consumption is a respectable 7W, while active consumption is selectable in 20W, 25W, and 'unlimited' increments. While >25W operation technically exceeds the PCIe specification for non-GPU devices, we know that the physical slot is capable of 75W for GPUs, so why can't SSDs have some more fun too! That said, even in unlimited mode, the 9100's should still stick relatively close to 25W and in our testing did not exceed 29W at any workload. Detailed power testing is coming to future enterprise articles, but for now, the extent will be what was measured and noted in this paragraph.
Our 9100 MAX samples came only in anti-static bags, so no fancy packaging to show here. Enterprise parts typically come in white/brown boxes with little flair.
Read on for our full review of the Micron 9100 MAX 2.4TB U.2 Enterprise SSD!
Leaked Intel Roadmap Details Upcoming Optane XPoint SSDs and Storage Accelerators
Subject: Storage | June 13, 2016 - 03:46 AM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: XPoint, tlc, Stony Beach, ssd, pcie, Optane, NVMe, mlc, Mansion Beach, M.2, kaby lake, Intel, imft, Brighton Beach, 3DNAND, 3d nand
A recent post over at benchlife.info included a slide of some significant interest to those who have been drooling over XPoint technology:
For those unaware, XPoint (spoken 'cross-point') is a new type of storage technology that is persistent like NAND Flash but with speeds closer to that of RAM. Intel's brand name for devices implementing XPoint are called Optane.
Starting at the bottom of the slide, we see a new 'System Acceleration' segment with a 'Stony Beach PCIe/NVMe m.2 System Accelerator'. This is likely a new take on Larson Creek, which was a 20GB SLC SSD launched in 2011. This small yet very fast SLC flash was tied into the storage subsystem via Intel's Rapid Storage Technology and acted as a caching tier for HDDs, which comprised most of the storage market at that time. Since Optane excels at random access, even a PCIe 3.0 x2 part could outmaneuver the fastest available NAND, meaning these new System Accelerators could act as a caching tier for Flash-based SSDs or even HDDs. These accelerators can also be good for boosting the performance of mobile products, potentially enabling the use of cheaper / lower performing Flash / HDD for bulk storage.
Skipping past the mainstream parts for now, enthusiasts can expect to see Brighton Beach and Mansion Beach, which are Optane SSDs linked via PCIe 3x2 or x4, respectively. Not just accelerators, these products should have considerably more storage capacity, which may bring costs fairly high unless either XPoint production is very efficient or if there is also NAND Flash present on those parts for bulk storage (think XPoint cache for NAND Flash all in one product).
We're not sure if or how the recent delays to Kaby Lake will impact the other blocks on the above slide, but we do know that many of the other blocks present are on-track. The SSD 540s and 5400s were in fact announced in Q2, and are Intel's first shipping products using IMFT 3D NAND. Parts not yet seen announced are the Pro 6000p and 600p, which are long overdue m.2 SSDs that may compete against Samsung's 950 Pro. Do note that those are marked as TLC products (purple), though I suspect they may actually be a hybrid TLC+SLC cache solution.
Going further out on the timeline we naturally see refreshes to all of the Optane parts, but we also see the first mention of second-generation IMFT 3DNAND. As I hinted at in an article back in February, second-gen 3D NAND will very likely *double* the per-die capacity to 512Gbit (64GB) for MLC and 768Gbit (96GB) for TLC. While die counts will be cut in half for a given total SSD capacity, speed reductions will be partially mitigated by this flash having at least four planes per die (most previous flash was double-plane). A plane is an effective partitioning of flash within the die, with each section having its own buffer. Each plane can perform erase/program/read operations independently, and for operations where the Flash is more limiting than the interface (writes), doubling the number of planes also doubles the throughput. In short, doubling planes roughly negates the speed drop caused by halving the die count on an SSD (until you reach the point where controller-to-NAND channels become the bottleneck, of course).
IMFT XPoint Die shot I caught at the Intel / Micron launch event.
Well, that's all I have for now. I'm excited to see that XPoint is making its way into consumer products (and Storage Accelerators) within the next year's time. I certainly look forward to testing these products, and I hope to show them running faster than they did back at that IDF demo...
Another look at the OCZ RD400 NVMe SSD

If you somehow felt that there was a test that Al missed while reviewing the OCZ RD400 NVMe SSD, then you have a chance for a second look. There are several benchmarks which The SSD Review ran which were not covered and they have a different way of displaying data such as latency but the end results are the same, this drive is up there with the Samsung 950 Pro and Intel 750 Series. Read all about it here.
"With specs that rival the Samsung 950 Pro, a capacity point that nips at the heels of the Intel 750's largest model, and competitive MSRPs, the OCZ RD400 is out for blood. Read on to learn more about this latest enthusiast class NVMe SSD and see how it competes with the best of the best!"

Introduction, Specifications and Packaging
The OCZ RevoDrive has been around for a good long while. We looked at the first ever RevoDrive back in 2010. It was a bold move for the time, as PCIe SSDs were both rare and very expensive at that time. OCZ's innovation was to implement a new VCA RAID controller which kept latencies low and properly scaled with increased Queue Depth. OCZ got a lot of use out of this formula, later expanding to the RevoDrive 3 x2 which expanded to four parallel SSDs, all the way to the enterprise Z-Drive R4 which further expanded that out to eight RAIDed SSDs.
OCZ's RevoDrive lineup circa 2011.
The latter was a monster of an SSD both in physical size and storage capacity. Its performance was also impressive given that it launched five years ago. After being acquired by Toshiba, OCZ re-spun the old VCA-driven SSD one last time in the form of a RevoDrive 350, but it was the same old formula and high-latency SandForce controllers (updated with in-house Toshiba flash). The RevoDrive line needed to ditch that dated tech and move into the world of NVMe, and today it has!
Here is the new 'Toshiba OCZ RD400', branded as such under the recent rebadging that took place on OCZ's site. The Trion 150 and Vertex 180 have also been relabeled as TR150 and VT180. This new RD400 has some significant changes over the previous iterations of that line. The big one is that it is now a lean M.2 part which can come on/with an optional adapter card for those not having an available M.2 slot.
Seagate to Show 10 GB/s PCIe x16 Flash Drive at OCP Summit
Subject: Storage | March 8, 2016 - 03:07 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: ssd, Seagate, pcie, NVMe, flash drive
Today Seagate announced that they are production ready on a couple of NVMe PCIe SSD models. These are data-center tailored units that focus on getting as much parallel flash into as small of a space as possible. From engineering drawings, the first appears to be a half height (HHHL) device, communicates over a PCIe 3.0 x8 link, and reaches a claimed 6.7GB/s:
The second model is a bit more interesting for a few reasons. This is a PCIe 3.0 x16 unit (same lane configuration as a high end GPU) that claims 10 GB/s:
10 GB/s, hmm, where have I seen that before? :)
The second image gives away a bit of what may be going on under that heatsink. There appears to be four M.2 form factor SSDs in there, which would imply that it would appear as four separate NVMe devices. This is no big deal for enterprise data applications that can be pointed at multiple physical devices, but that 10 GB/s does start to make more sense (as a combined total) as we know of no single SSD controller capable of that sort of throughput. It took four Intel SSD 750's for us to reach that same 10 GB/s figure, so it stands to reason that Seagate would use that same trick, only with M.2 SSDs they can fit everything onto a single slot card.
That's all we have on this release so far, but we may see some real product pics sneak out of the Open Compute Project Summit, running over the next couple of days.
Full press blast after the break!
NVMe was a great thing to happen to SSDs. The per-IO reduction in latency and CPU overhead was more than welcome, as PCIe SSDs were previously using the antiquated AHCI protocol, which was a carryover from the SATA HDD days. With NVMe came additional required support in Operating Systems and UEFI BIOS implementations. We did some crazy experiments with arrays of these new devices, but we were initially limited by the lack of native hardware-level RAID support to tie multiple PCIe devices together. The launch of the Z170 chipset saw a remedy to this, by including the ability to tie as many as three PCIe SSDs behind a chipset-configured array. The recent C600 server chipset also saw the addition of RSTe capability, expanding this functionality to enterprise devices like the Intel SSD P3608, which was actually a pair of SSDs on a single PCB.
Most Z170 motherboards have come with one or two M.2 slots, meaning that enthusiasts wanting to employ the 3x PCIe RAID made possible by this new chipset would have to get creative with the use of interposer / adapter boards (or use a combination of PCI and U.2 connected Intel SSD 750s). With the Samsung 950 Pro available, as well as the slew of other M.2 SSDs we saw at CES 2016, it's safe to say that U.2 is going to push back into the enterprise sector, leaving M.2 as the choice for consumer motherboards moving forward. It was therefore only a matter of time before a triple-M.2 motherboard was launched, and that just recently happened - Behold the Gigabyte Z170X-SOC Force!
This new motherboard sits at the high end of Gigabyte's lineup, with a water-capable VRM cooler and other premium features. We will be passing this board onto Morry for a full review, but this piece will be focusing on one section in particular:
I have to hand it to Gigabyte for this functional and elegant design choice. The space between the required four full length PCIe slots makes it look like it was chosen to fit M.2 SSDs in-between them. I should also note that it would be possible to use three U.2 adapters linked to three U.2 Intel SSD 750s, but native M.2 devices makes for a significantly more compact and consumer friendly package.
With the test system set up, let's get right into it, shall we?
Don't have two M.2 slots? No problems!

That's right, no matter if you run iOS, Linux or Windows if you have an M key style M.2 port the Silverstone ECM20 add-on card will give you both a PCI-e M.2 slot and a SATA 6Gbs M.2 slot. The board itself is a mounting point, no controller but simply a way to transfer data from a PCI-e M.2 card or a mount for a SATA style card, you provide the cable. The simplcity ensures that your transfer speeds will match what you would expect from a native slot as the tests at Benchmark Reviews show. At less than $20 it is a great way to expand your high speed storage capacity.
"The m.2 form factor is becoming popular for SSDs due to its small size, and, in PCI-E guise, superior performance. As our recent test of the Samsung 950 Pro m.2 SSD has shown, PCI-E m.2 SSDs offer performance many times that of the very best SATA SSDs, so if you're looking for a storage upgrade, m.2 is definitely the way to go."

Introduction, Specifications and Packaging
What's better than an 18-channel NVMe PCIe Datacenter SSD controller in a Half Height Half Length (HHHL) package? *TWO* 18-channel NVMe PCIe Datacenter controllers in a HHHL package! I'm sure words to this effect were uttered in an Intel meeting room some time in the past, because such a device now exists, and is called the SSD DC P3608:
The P3608 is essentially a pair of P3600's glued together on a single PCB, much like how some graphics cards merge a pair of GPUs to act with the performance of a pair of cards combined into a single one:
What is immediately impressive here is that Intel has done this same trick within 1/4 of the space (HHHL compared to a typical graphics card). We can only imagine the potential of a pair of P3600 SSDs, so lets get right into the specs, disassembly, and testing!
Samsung Launches 950 PRO - 300,000 IOPS and 2.5 GB/sec from a M.2 V-NAND SSD!

Tagged: vnand, V-NAND, ssd, Samsung, pcie, NVMe, M.2 2280, M.2, 950 PRO, 512GB, 256GB
I've been waiting a long time for Samsung to put their V-NAND flash memory into a PCIe connected SSD, and such a product has just been officially announced at the Samsung SSD Global Summit.
Samsung's new product launching will be called the 950 PRO. This will be an M.2 2280 form factor product running at PCIe 3.0 x4. Equipped with Samsung's 32-layer V-NAND and using the NVMe protocol enabled by a new UBX controller, the 950 PRO will be capable of up to an impressive 300,000 random read IOPS. Random writes come in at 110,000 IOPS and sequential throughputs are expected to be 2.5 GB/sec reads and 1.5 GB/sec for writes. Available capacities will be 256GB and 512GB.
- 1TB - (early next year with the switch to 48-layer V-NAND)
The 950 PRO will be shipping with a 5-year warranty rated at 200 terabytes written for the 256GB model and 400 TBW for the 512GB. That works out to just over 100GB per day for both capacities.
These hit retail in October and we currently have samples in hand for testing.
(for those curious, both capacities only have components on the front side of the PCB)

Who let the baby demons out
We got rid of a lot of props this last year, so I guess while we were busy one of the crew, or the EAD (Evil Artistic Director)- who knows let the baby demons out of the shop.
We were going to wait until they were older and more mature to make sure they did not get in any trouble....but that didn't happen, so they got out and spent the whole month of October hanging in the abbey just high enough we could not reach them to get them back in the shop.
Demons....nothing but trouble! In that good kinda way....you need demons and we can show you how to make them.
This was a great project headed up by one of the crew. If you like these little guys and you are going to be at HAuNTcon in Birmingham the end of the month, sign up now....this class is selling out fast!

With all the death lately
Reminded me that this year we have to make a difficult tombstone for a lot of the crew whoare Terry Prachett fans.
Since there were so many quotes we could use and we could not chose, one of the crew came up with the brilliant idea to use his family crest.
So I will leave you with his words....this sums up his sense of humor in his writing perfectly:

Her name is MoMo
The Davis Graveyard seems to have acquired a shop cat :)
She was my neighbors cat until they got a new dog.....she apparently hates the dog and has made her home in the upstairs play room of the shop.
She is the sweetest cat, that loves when we are hanging after a build day up in the shop. She is currently getting less attention, but appears to be staying. So welcome MoMo to the Davis Graveyard.
BTW - Hal, the Halloween Cat, is not amused.

The Statue in the Tree
We always start building right after West Coast Haunters Convention. This year not only did we start building props, but we put one in the yard. She was going to go into a tree and need her arms out and her dress to flow so she had to be made on the ground.
Since she is a statue we could not have her wrisits ope (since a statue would not be carved that way) so we attached her hands and filled the wrisits with expanding foam and sanded it out to look like she is a carved statue.
We wanted this to look like a statue that had been taken over by the tree and vines. So in June, we placed 'The Lady in the Tree' in the tree outside the front door and started to move the wisteria vines on the tree to grow around her.
The vines grew around her all summer and died back a bit in the fall. But the effect was just what we were looking for.
The statue was based on this picture by the INCREDIBLE photographer Dan Westfall
Unlike many of the other props we did not light her directly, you could only see her when the lighting was flashing on her.
She was sort of our 'Easter Egg' in the yard this year and was just stunning.

Welspun Energy has demonstrated strong Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) capabilities in the Renewable projects space. The EPC Company has successfully commissioned mega wind and solar PV projects on a turnkey basis well in advance of the stipulated timelines across eight different states. Welspun Energy has thus achieved a leadership position as a Solar EPC market in India.
Net generation from solar and wind projects Since Commissioning
Toatal co2 Emissions mitigated
Welspun Energy has built some of the largest solar projects the country has seen. Commissioned across diverse geographies in 8 states, each of its projects were developed well in advance of the stipulated timeline. Welspun Energy has thus achieved a leadership position in the Solar EPC market in India.
Welspun Energy is steadily building mega wind capacities across the country. The recently commissioned 126 MW wind project is its first aggressive step in this direction.
The EPC firm has ventured into the solar rooftop segment in a big way. From building large scale ground mounted projects, Welspun Renewables has developed projects for prestigious organisations in record time.
India has become the third largest electricity generating country globally (behind US and China), but has a very low per capita consumption. 30% of its population is without electricity. To support demand created by ~6-7% GDP growth, India would need 700GW++ of capacity by 2032.
75% of the energy generated in the country is currently coal based, leading to numerous environmental challenges. Indian cities are already most polluted in the world. So Renewable energy is key for India's sustainable growth.
With more than 300 days of sunshine, India ranks among the highest solar irradiation countries in the world. The current installed capacity barely scratched surface compared to potential. As per Berkley Lab study, wind potential in India is 2,006 GW (80 meter hub height) to 3,121 GW (120 meter hub height).
The government is playing an active role in promoting the adoption of renewable energy resources, by announcing 175 GW renewable vision. Policy measures like income tax holidays, duty concessions, accelerated depreciation etc. are giving a positive push to the sector.
With largest operational capacity across the sector, our projects are laying benchmarks for respective state territories. Welspun Renewables' power plants are among the highest generating projects in the country. Our emphasis on systems and processes has enabled the organization for flawless execution by consistently decreasing its on-ground development cycle. This has been instrumental in bringing the solar tariffs closer to grid parity. Strong process and metrics based management based on EFQM (European Foundation for Quality management) framework help us deliver predictable performance and mitigate risk.
Madhya Pradesh - 151 MW Neemuch: One of the largest solar power projects in the world at the time of commissioning
Rajasthan – 126 MW Pratapgarh: Located in one of the highest wind velocity sites in the state, this is the largest wind project in the company's portfolio
Maharashtra - 52 MW Baramati: Largest solar power project to be built under the public private partnership model in the state
Punjab – 34 MW Bhatinda: largest solar power project being developed in the state
Karnataka - 19 MW Chitradurga: largest solar project to be commissioned in the state
The total generation from solar and wind plants till date is 1.510 Billion units and a total of 1.3 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions are being offset by Welspun Renewables
Our EPC arm has over 1300 years of unparalleled manpower experienceEngineering:
Focus on value creation and corporate citizenship has helped Welspun Renewables build an enviable corporate reputation founded on ethical and transparent approach. It is our endeavor to conduct business of the company in a manner that ensures fairness to stakeholders, customers, employees, fund-providers, suppliers, regulators and the society as a whole. Our business strategy has been developed using a triple bottom line approach which focuses on:
Strong process and metrics based management based on EFQM (European Foundation for Quality management) framework help us to deliver predictable performance and mitigate risk.
We advocate an inclusive approach to developmental issues. To make our vision a reality, we collaborate with the government, the district authorities, the village panchayats and other like-minded stakeholders across ten major Indian states. We are working directly with thousands of villagers in rural India to provide them free and quality primary healthcare, water, education and employment opportunities.

Amazon has strayed far enough from the Android path that it doesn't have access to the Google Play Store (formerly the Android Market).

For some reason this plugin is including the pluggable.php file in itself... meaning any other plugins loaded after it can not override pluggable functions.
Seeing as how the whole point of pluggable functions is to let other plugins override them and this plugin abruptly puts a stop to that, is there a way a patch can be put out? I didn't look into the plugin deep enough to see what functionality it grabs from there but this seems to be a pretty serious issue.

Definition of Palsy, laryngeal nerve
Palsy, laryngeal nerve: Paralysis of the larynx (voice box) caused by damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve or its parent nerve, the vagus nerve, which originates in the brainstem and runs down to the colon. The recurrent laryngeal nerve supplies the larynx (voice box). The larynx will be paralyzed on the side where this nerve has been damaged, unless the problem originated with damage to the vagus nerve itself. Damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve can result from diseases inside the chest, such as a tumor, an aneurysm of the arch of the aorta, or an aneurysm of the left atrium of the heart.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

Approved Pharmacologic Treatments for NAFLD, NASH,...
Endotis Pharma and Catalent Pharma Solutions forged an alliance to develop oral formulations of synthetic oligosaccharide (small-glyco) drugs. The initial focus will be on development of Endotis' oral anticoagulant, EP37151.
The drug, which acts as an indirect factor Xa inhibitor, is expected to start Phase I development during the second quarter of next year. The companies say that other oral anticoagulants are also expected to join their pipeline next year.
The collaboration will exploit Endotis' expertise in synthetic oligosacchariade drug discovery and Catalent's oral drug formulation and drug manufacturing capabilities. "The technology developed by Catalent is a major step forward for Endotis and will unlock therapeutic indications for our small-glyco drugs in thrombosis and other therapeutic areas," states Charles Woler, Endotis' chairman and CEO.
With specialist expertise in drug delivery and formulation, Catalent Pharma Solutions offers a range of product development services including API development, preclinical/clinical support, analytical, clinical manufacturing, and regulatory consulting. The company was formed in April 2007, when financial advisory firm Blackstone Group acquired the Pharmaceutical Technologies and Services segment of Cardinal Health.
Endotis Pharma specializes in the discovery and development of synthetic oligosaccharide drugs against thrombosis and cancer. In October the company started a Phase I program with EP217609, a first-in-class synthetic neutralizable anticoagulant, and its specific antidote, avidin. The company concurrently sealed a manufacturing and co-development agreement for avidin with Tecnogen, part of the Sigma-Tau Group.
EP217609 is a synthetic parenteral anticoagulant in development for intravenous or subcutaneous adminsitration at fixed dose without the need for monitoring. The company claims the drug has a dual mode of action that combines indirect factor Xa inhibition with direct thrombin inhibition. EP217609 can also be neutralized within a few minutes by administering the antidote, avidin.
EP217609 is the biotinylated form of EP42675, which in May successfully completed a Phase I study in 100 healthy subjects. Based on EP42675 data, an optimized Phase I trial has been defined for EP217609, which will allow a quicker entry into Phase II in two target indications: extracorporeal circulation (ECC) in cardiac surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndromes (ACS).

Coupled microresonators exhibit great potential for nonlinear applications. In the present work, we explore the nonlinear performance of an embedded ring resonator analogous to an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) medium, also known as coupled resonator induced transparency (CRIT). Interestingly, an EIT-like amplitude response can have a remarkably different power enhancement factor that varies by more than one order of magnitude, which is attributed to the different phase regimes of the embedded micro-ring resonators. In addition to the non-monotonic phase profile reported in atomic EIT systems, the phase responses featuring 2π and 4π monotonic transitions are identified and analyzed. We also present an interesting phenomenon, in which the power enhancement changes greatly, even with the same transfer function (both intensity and phase responses). This reveals that wisely choosing the operating regime is critical to optimize nonlinear performance of the embedded double resonator system, without adding to design or fabrication difficulty.

1. Introduction
Integrated microring resonators are promising optical devices to realize various photonic functions [1, 2], such as on-chip lasers, modulators, filters, logic gates, and biological sensors [3–8]. An intriguing effect in coupled resonators has recently been identified, which is analogous to electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in atomic systems [9] and is referred to as coupled resonator induced transparency (CRIT). The EIT-like effect is found in various coupled ring structures, such as parallel rings [10–12], serial rings [13, 14], 3 × 3 coupler-connected rings [15], and embedded rings [16, 17]. The on-chip realization of this effect provides a simplified system configuration and increases design flexibility as compared to atomic systems, enabling new opportunities for optical delay lines [11, 14, 16], switches and modulators [12, 16], and sensing platforms [17]. For nonlinear applications, the large power enhancement in the optical cavity is critical. The embedded rings [16, 17] can offer a cascaded power enhancement and small footprint (Fig. 1) as compared to other types of double-ring structures.
Fig. 1
In previous theoretical and experimental investigations into the EIT-like effect, the majority of the research effort has focused on studying the intensity response of the coupled resonator system. To gain a thorough understanding of this behavior, studying only the intensity response is not sufficient. Moreover, many applications strongly depend on the phase characteristics, such as reducing the speed of light [11, 14, 16], encoding multi-level phase information [18, 19], and enhancing optical nonlinearity [20, 21]. However, the EIT-like effect is typically not characterized in terms of the phase response.
Here, we present a detailed study of both intensity and phase responses of the EIT-like effect in embedded ring resonators shown in Fig. 1(a). It is found that the EIT-like intensity response features several distinctly different phase profiles. Only one of them is observed in atomic EIT phenomena. The newly identified phase regimes exhibit different power enhancement factors. By judicious selection of phase, the power enhancement factor can be tuned by more than one order of magnitude. Intriguingly, some embedded configurations have the same intensity and phase responses but significantly different power distributions. This reveals that examining both intensity and phase responses is not sufficient to predict the nonlinear characteristics of the coupled resonator devices.
2. Modeling and classification
The embedded rings are shown in Fig. 1(a), and consist of an outer ring (Ring 1) and an inner ring (Ring 2) coupled with each other in two coupling regions. The outer ring is coupled with two waveguides. The amplitude coupling coefficients in the four coupling regions are labeled t1, t2, t3, and t4, respectively. The azimuthal mode orders of Ring 1 and Ring 2, m1 and m2, are integers so that the two rings have the same resonance wavelength. The transfer functions at the through and drop ports are derived using coupled mode theory [22]. We temporarily disregard optical loss for simplicity without losing generality as it is added in Section 5. The transfer functions are:
The EIT-like effect is obtained in the through port, so here we only focus on Eq. (1). Due to the complexity of Eq. (1) and the flexibility of tuning the parameters in it, it is critically important to classify the operating regimes of the device. We first look at the shared resonance wavelength. It is noted that there are four combinations of phase factors in Eq. (1): e22, e14, e14e22 and e12e2. The first three terms always equal 1, since m1 and m2 are integers. The last term, e12e2 = exp(φ1/2 + φ2/2) = exp[2π(m1 + m2)/2], is determined by the difference of m1 and m2: (I) when m1–m2 = odd number, (m1 + m2)/2 = M + 0.5 (M is an integer), i.e., e12e2 = −1; (II) when m1–m2 = even number, (m1 + m2)/2 = M, i.e., e12e2 = 1. In this way, embedded ring systems generally degenerate into two cases, depending on (m1–m2).
As a representative example, we set m1 = 101 and m2 = 70 for Case I, and m1 = 100 and m2 = 70 for Case II. A device comprised of a silicon nitride (Si3N4) waveguide with cross-section of 700 nm × 800 nm (height × width) is considered. The corresponding effective refractive index is 1.87 at a resonance wavelength of 1.55 μm, as determined using a finite-element mode solver. Under this configuration, Ring 2 has a radius of approximately 10 μm.
3. EIT-like effect in Case I: m1–m2 = odd number
Although a high-level classification of the device is made by differentiating phase factors (Case I or II), there are still many parameter combinations in terms of coupling coefficients. Here, we first set the same coupling between the two rings, i.e., t2 = t4 = 0.2 in Fig. 1(a).
When the ring-waveguide coupling coefficients are t1 = 0.3 and t3 = 0.4, we obtain an EIT-like intensity response and a monotonic phase profile, as shown in Figs. 2(a) and 2(b). The phase profile features a sharp change of 2π near resonance wavelength. Switching t1 and t3 results in the same intensity response, yet changes the phase profile in Fig. 2(d). This behavior mimics a similar phenomenon in a single ring. When the operating regime is shifted from under-coupling to over-coupling though an exchange of coupling and loss, its intensity response remains the same, while the phase profile changes dramatically [20]. Figures 2(c) and 2(e) show the power distributions in the system on the resonance, corresponding to Figs. 2(b) and 2(d), respectively. In both cases, the optical power accumulates considerably in the inner ring.
Fig. 2
To more quantitatively compare the power accumulation between geometries and among different operating conditions, it is useful to define a power enhancement factor as the ratio of the intra-cavity power in Ring 2 to the input power. In both cases described above, the power enhancement factor is more than a few hundred. However, the power enhancement in Fig. 2(c) is nearly twice that in Fig. 2(e), which is highly desirable for enhanced optical nonlinearity.
The observed cascaded power enhancement in the embedded rings can be explained as follows. The cause of the cascaded power enhancement can be determined by evaluating the optical power evolution at four places, labeled A, B, C, and D in Fig. 1(a), near the coupling regions between the two rings. We assume the initial phase of light at A is 0. The optical wave partially enters into Ring 2, travels from B to C, and eventually is coupled out to D, with a phase shift of π + 35⋅2π. The other portion of light travels in Ring 1 from A to D and obtains a phase shift of π + 50⋅2π. The two optical waves are in phase and interfere constructively. Then we consider the light travelling back from Ring 2 to A after one circulation. With a phase shift of π + 70⋅2π, it is out of phase with the initial light at A, resulting in a destructive interference. Since t2 = t4, eventually optical power builds up only in the lower part of Ring 1 at steady state, and there is almost no light in the upper part, as shown in Figs. 2(c) and 2(e). Noting this fact, we describe the power distribution in a more straightforward way by regarding the power distribution as a summation of two parts, as shown in Figs. 1(b) and 1(c). The inner ring can be viewed as a single ring critically coupled with two waveguides since loss is ignored, while the double-ring system can be treated as a side-coupled single resonator. Power accumulation at resonance is described as follows:Eq. (4), the power enhancement in the lower part of Ring 1 is directly obtained, while the power enhancement factor defined as PRing2-lower/Pin can be derived by multiplying Eq. (3) and Eq. (4). When t1 = 0.3 and t2 = t4 = 0.2, the power enhancement factor is calculated to be 1061, in excellent agreement with the result in Fig. 2(c). When t1 is switched with t3 as in Fig. 2(e), the power enhancement is decreased to 551. With loss ignored, reducing t2 (or t4) or t1 will result in increased power enhancement. However, in practice, the power enhancement is limited due to optical loss. It is noted that, although the double-ring system seems to be under-coupled in Figs. 2(b) and 2(c) with in-coupling t1 less than out-coupling t3, it is indeed over-coupled because very little light leaks out from the upper part of Ring 1 in the complicated power distribution in the embedded rings.
Next, we study the EIT-like effect with asymmetric coupling between rings by setting t2 = 0.2 and t4 = 0.17, while keeping the ring-waveguide coupling coefficients unchanged: t1 = 0.3 and t3 = 0.4. An EIT-like intensity response is obtained in Fig. 3(a), which has a normalized peak value less than unity even in the lossless case. Featuring an anomaly, the according phase profile in Fig. 3(b) is dramatically different from the 2π phase transitions above. The power enhancement in the system also drops greatly, as shown in Fig. 3(c), as compared with those in Fig. 2. By setting different t2 and t4 values, we note that the EIT-like resonance in Fig. 3(a) has a wider peak than that in Fig. 2(a). This increase is because the inner ring is no longer critically coupled, and optical power flows through the upper part of Ring 1 and leaks out from the waveguide. Exchanging t1 and t3 leads to the same intensity profile with a marked change in phase response, as shown in Fig. 3(e), which has a 4π shift in the center. The phase profiles in Figs. 3(b) and 3(e) are in direct analogy with the phase responses in under- and over-coupled single resonator. This can be explained by viewing the two rings as a single resonator. That is, a double-ring resonator is coupled with two waveguides, with in-coupling t1 and out-coupling t3. Figure 3(b) and 3(e) are corresponding to under- and over-coupled double-ring resonator. The power distribution for Fig. 3(e) is shown in Fig. 3(f). The power enhancement factor in Fig. 3(f) is 232, which is higher than that in Fig. 3(c), i.e., 176, because of the over-coupling of the double-ring resonator.
Fig. 3
So far, from Figs. 2 and 3, one can see that an EIT-like intensity profile obtained from embedded rings exhibits dramatically different power enhancement factors, which are accompanied by four different phase responses. Thus, identifying the phase characteristics is critically important to determine the optimal operation of the device for nonlinear applications.
Intriguingly, when t2 and t4 are switched, i.e., t2 = 0.17 and t4 = 0.2, while both the EIT-like intensity profile and phase profile are unchanged, the power distribution is different, with the enhancement factor reduced to 18 and 73, as shown in Figs. 3(d) and 3(g). Conventionally, it is believed that once the intensity and phase responses are determined, the linear properties of a device, such as filtering or waveform manipulation of signals, are fully characterized. However, the present analysis shows that the device may not be completely described. For example, the optical power enhancement in the device could change by more than one order of magnitude, which is of great interest to nonlinear operation of the device and provides important design criteria for resonator-based nonlinear devices.
We examine the spectrum evolution as t2−t4 increases from 0 to 0.012 and 0.03, as is illustrated in Fig. 4, with t1 = 0.3, t3 = 0.4. Note, to accurately reflect experimentally realizable values, we set loss = 0.5 dB/cm here. The EIT-like profile is obtained at t2−t4 = 0. When t2−t4 = 0.012, the transmission changes to a profile featuring electromagnetically induced absorption. As t2−t4 further increases to 0.03, the spectrum changes back to an EIT-like spectrum with a larger linewidth. The transmission on resonance varies with t2−t4, as shown in Fig. 4(b), where the transmission first drops quickly from 0.47 to almost 0, and then increases to 0.8. Figure 4(b) also illustrates that the largest power enhancement is obtained when t2 is slightly larger than t4 to compensate for optical loss in Ring 2.
Fig. 4
4. EIT-like effect in Case II: where m1–m2 = even number
In Case II, mode splitting has been reported in [16] when the coupling strength between the embedded rings is strong. We find that one can still observe the EIT-like effect with very small t2 and t4. Here, we set t2 = 0.015 and t4 = 0.005, and to be consistent with Case I, the ring-waveguide coupling coefficients are: t1 = 0.3 and t3 = 0.4. In this configuration, the EIT-like intensity profile and non-monotonic phase profile are obtained, as shown in Figs. 5(a) and 5(b). The corresponding power distribution is depicted in Fig. 5(c). Similar to the results in Fig. 3, when t1 and t3 are switched, the EIT-like intensity response remains the same, while the phase profile is shifted to a monotonic one with a 4π change in the center, as shown in Fig. 5(e). The corresponding power enhancement in Fig. 5(f) is almost twice that in Fig. 5(c). Then we exchange t2 and t4, and different power distributions with unchanged transfer characteristics are obtained in Figs. 5(d) and 5(g), respectively. This phenomenon is similar to that in Fig. 3, though the changes of power enhancement are much smaller. Unlike Case I, the regime of the transfer function and the power enhancement is unchanged whether t2 equals t4
Fig. 5
When the coupling strength between the rings is strong, the EIT-like effect evolves into the mode splitting effect, as illustrated in Fig. 6(a). Here, we set loss = 0.5 dB/cm, and t2 = t4 for simplicity. When t2 (or t4) increases, the two notches in the transmission spectrum move apart from each other, which eventually results in a profile featuring the mode splitting effect [16]. Changes in the peak transmission and power enhancement with t2 (or t4) are shown in Fig. 6(b). As t2 (or t4) decreases, the power enhancement first increases to the maximum value and then drops down, indicating that the peak of the EIT-like effect cannot be arbitrarily narrow due to loss. Note that, in the case of mode splitting, although the transmission in the center wavelength almost reaches unity, there is very little power accumulation. That is, the embedded rings are not resonant [23]. This is also a significant difference between the EIT-like effect and mode splitting.
Fig. 6
5. Discussion on the role of loss
Here, we examine the influence of optical loss on EIT-like peak value of the intensity response and power enhancement in the inner ring, as shown in Fig. 7. As examples, we choose Case IA and IB corresponding to Figs. 2(c) and 2(e) with t1 and t3 switched. For Case II, we have a wider range of examples, i.e., Case IIA and IIC corresponding to Figs. 5(c) and 5(f) with t1 and t3 switched, and Case IIB and IID corresponding to Figs. 5(d) and 5(g) with t1 and t3 switched. Note that Case IIA and IIB, Case IIC and IID are also related, with t2 and t4 switched.
Fig. 7
Figure 7 shows that both the transmission at the EIT-like peaks and the power enhancement for all types decreases monotonically with loss. Comparing Figs. 7(a) and 7(c), we note that the quicker decrease of transmission for Case IA is accompanied by its stronger power enhancement in contrast to Case IB. This relationship between transmission and power enhancement holds true for Case II as well, as shown in Figs. 7(b) and 7(d), which can be explained as follows. When more power accumulates in the cavity, the output power, i.e., summation of optical powers at the drop port and through port, is less due to the intra-cavity optical loss. For a given loss, when t1 and t3 are switched as in Figs. 7(a) and 7(c), one can see from Eq. (2) that the transfer function at the drop port is unchanged, and thus a high power enhancement in Case IA is corresponding to large power reduction at the through port. Similarly, the transmission in Case IIA and IIB (or Case IIC and IID) at the through port remains exactly the same, resulting from unchanged transfer function, as indicated by Eq. (1), when t2 and t4 are switched. The reducing rates of power enhancement with loss in Case IA and IB are also different, as shown in Fig. 7(c), and Case IA, the one with higher enhancement factor, decreases faster with loss than Case IB. Similar trend applies with sub-cases in Case II, too.
The embedded ring system could offer desirable performance for nonlinear applications in terms of power enhancement factor even with strong coupling. When loss is 0.5 dB/cm, which is achievable with current fabrication technology, the power enhancement in Case IA can still be as high as 600, as shown in Fig. 7(c). In addition, the power enhancement in Case IA is twice that in Case IB as the loss of the system varies. Similar trends can be observed in Case II, as shown in Fig. 7(d). These results emphasize the necessity to wisely choose an operation regime in order to enhance the optical nonlinearity without additional design or fabrication difficulties.
6. Conclusion
We have presented a thorough study on the power enhancement in embedded resonators, enabled by EIT-like effect. It is found that power enhancement factors with the same intensity response can vary by more than one order of magnitude, resulting from the different operating phase regimes. In addition to the extensively reported phase profile, new phase regimes (i.e., 2π and 4π phases) of the EIT-like effect are identified and analyzed in detail. Intriguingly, we show that, even with the same intensity and phase responses, the power enhancement can be significantly different. These results not only greatly deepen our understanding but also have practical meaning for achieving enhanced group delay and optical nonlinearity without adding to design or fabrication complexities.

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.

The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.

My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Top drafts in Ducks history
Slide show: Take a look at the Ducks' best draft choices since they joined the NHL in 1993. Click on the photo to start the slide show.
Cam Fowler was rated fifth overall among North American skaters prior to last weekend's NHL draft. Emerson Etem was rated eighth.
The Ducks were drafting 12th and 29th in the first round and still got Fowler and Etem.
That's the best news they've gotten in over a year – maybe.
The NHL draft is obviously something of a crapshoot because teams are trying to assess teenage talent.
Although the Ducks have been as successful as any team that came into the league over the past 20 years, they haven't necessarily done it through the draft. For every Corey Perry and Paul Kariya, there's a Chad Kilger or Mark Mitera.
Here's a look at the Ducks' best draft choices since they joined the NHL in 1993.

Landlord to host 'soap opera' about benefit changes
Published by 24publishing for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Central Government, Local Government, Universal Credit
welfare reform
Tameside-based housing association New Charter Homes is turning its offices into the venue for a 'soap opera' to help tell tenants about important changes to their welfare benefits.
It will run a series of plays called Confusion Street with actors performing scenes to show tenants the impact the changes will have on real-life people like them.
It comes as a new award - launched by payment collection specialist allpay and 24housing magazine - seeks to showcase the best ways housing providers and councils are communicating welfare reform changes to residents.
The soap opera-type shows will take place at New Charter's Ashton-under-Lyne offices on Saturday 9 February (10am – 3pm) at a welfare reform event for New Charter and Aksa Homes residents in Tameside and Oldham.
The offices will even be decorated with cobble-themed scenery to help tenants feel like they are in the middle of a drama straight off the TV.
The 18,000-home landlord has worked with tenants and drama-based training group 'AFTA Thought' to put on the plays and, through the power of drama it hopes local people will better understand how the Government's benefits cuts will affect them.
The theatre group will act out scenes to explain the different cuts including the 'Bedroom Tax' which will affect around 1,700 New Charter tenants in social housing across Tameside and Oldham from April.
This new rule for people who are under-occupying their homes will see those with one 'spare' bedroom lose out on around 14% from the maximum housing benefit they get and those with two or more will lose 25% per week.
Tenants will get less help with their rent payments through housing benefit and will have to make up the shortfall from their remaining household incomes.
Actors will also perform scenes around moving to a smaller home, lodging and the impact of other benefit caps and changes.
New Charter has set up a dedicated 'SWAT' team to give help and advice to tenants around changes to their benefits and staff will be on hand to talk to tenants at the soap opera event.
Tenants will also be able to find out more about swapping their home with other tenants and what properties are available for exchange. New Charter's new neighbourhood coordinators will be on hand to give advice too.
The event is free with refreshments and fun activities for children.
Tony Powell, New Charter's executive director of neighbourhoods said: "The changes to welfare benefits will affect many working people as well as vulnerable tenants who will struggle to make ends meet.
"In particular, where working age tenants have a spare bedroom, they are likely to see a significant cut in their housing benefit.
"Unfortunately there aren't enough smaller homes to move people to and for those that can't or don't want to move, we are doing everything we can to help them manage their money to lessen the impact of the new 'Bedroom Tax' rules.
"Our soap opera event is something different to help inform as many tenants as possible about the changes that are going to affect them and it's a chance for them to see some real-life scenarios and talk to someone to get advice and support."
Mary Austin, AFTA Thought's managing director, added: "Welfare Reform policies will impact on millions of people, but there's still so much confusion about how it'll affect people in real terms.
"Confusion Street uses extensive research and our work with tenants to bring policies to life, helping people to understand the impact on them. New Charter has really taken the lead in supporting their tenants at a time of real hardship."

Initially, I set up my site via WordPress.com and registered the domain there as well. I realized what I had intended to do was set up WordPress.org functionality - so I purchased hosting services from Blue Host and changed the Name Server info in Automattic to reflect my hosting preference.
I then used Blue Host to install the WordPress.org functionality and create an admin account - this worked perfectly. I added a couple posts and pages, changed the url structure, etc (all changes took effect on the site, wormdrivegear.com). However, today when I went to login at the /wp-admin page, the login that I created via Simple Scripts in Blue Host didn't work any longer and my site didn't reflect the changes I made last night. I tried my original admin login from when I had mistakenly created a WordPress.com blog and that worked - it appears as though the site has reverted to acting like a WordPress.com blog, rather than a WordPress.org blog hosted at Blue Host.
I'm not sure what to do to get the WordPress.org functionality back - can anyone help me?

New lanes aren't workingJune 09,2014New lanes
arent working
I promised myself that I would give the newly configured Woodstock Avenue some time to see if the reconfiguration would offer a multitude of benefits far outweighing any discomforts. I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings to city officials who have embraced this road rechannelization but it aint workin.
The steady stream of traffic heading east and west (and this isnt even ski season) has created a number of problems impatient drivers trying desperately to leave their side streets and parking lots to join the line and cars using the turning lane to pass. I left the dump this morning and as I entered onto Gleason Road, I joined 13 cars waiting to get onto Woodstock Avenue. I can easily see how our businesses have been negatively affected as well.
The Woodstock Avenue and Deer Street intersection is still a circus and a dangerous one at that for pedestrians and drivers alike. I live on North Street Extension and have definitely seen more short cut traffic on our street since the changes were made. It was worth looking at folks but enough is enough lets get back to the two lanes each way it wasnt broken, so, lets not fix it.

I used installed and activated this plugin and it would not let my site return anything but a white screen. It seems to be a plugin conflict, rather than a conflict with WP core. Are the plugin functions uniquely prefixed?
from: http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin#Plugin_Development_Suggestions and http://nacin.com/2010/05/11/in-wordpress-prefix-everything/
All the functions in your Plugin need to have unique names that are different from functions in the WordPress core, other Plugins, and themes. For that reason, it is a good idea to use a unique function name prefix on all of your Plugin's functions. A far superior possibility is to define your Plugin functions inside a class (which also needs to have a unique name).
FYI: I am also running: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/, but I am not sure that this is the conflicting plugin... it would seem that this is a logical place to start asking the question.

Floral design is one of the more artistic of the horticultural industries, which affords a slight but real sort of flower power. Floral designers are often given the artistic freedom to select the specific colors, textures, and flowers for their work in public spaces. That can be slightly empowering.
However, most of the high-profile work that floral designers get is for clients who already know something about what they want for specific events, and only need a designer to assemble it. It's still fun, but not quite as empowering. But hey, if empowering is what you're after, go take a Women's Lib course at your local college. Or step on a bee.
