Abstract: A container for transporting an item is provided having an outer case member and a pair of partition members. The container is erectable from a collapsed configuration, in which the container is substantially flat, to an erected configuration in which the partition members form a support structure within an interior cavity of the outer case member to support a portion of the item to be transported. Methods of packaging and transporting an item in a container are also provided.

Abstract: A box, a blank that can be easily formed into the box via an intermediate box assembly, and methods for generating and using the box allows one to quickly and easily package flowers and accessories for shipment to a consumer without bending, bruising or otherwise damaging the flowers. The box includes an insert that extends from a side of the box and is pivotable into an interior of the box. The insert includes a divider that extends from the insert and can be attached to a side after the flowers have been placed in the interior to extend between two sides and divide the interior into two compartments. One compartment contains the flower portion of the flowers while the other compartment contains the stem portion of the flowers and the accessories. The blanks allow one to quickly and easily generate the boxes and ensure that the box generated will have an insert to protect the flowers during shipment.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a system to assist setting a state of a latch system. The system includes a latch system connected to a node, the latch system residing in one of a first state and a second state. A charge storage device is coupled to maintain the node at a first voltage according to an amount of stored charge. A write assist system is connected between the node and a second voltage. The write assist network is configured, when the node is selected, to discharge the charge storage device and to pull the node from the first voltage to a discharge voltage that is outside a range defined by the first voltage and the second voltage to facilitate setting the latch system to another of the first state and the second state.

Abstract: A technique to enhance performance and reduce silicon area for a TCAM system which includes a plurality of CAM blocks that are organized into at least one rectangular array having rows each having a plurality of CAM blocks, a group of TCAM cells and associated read/write bit lines connecting the group of CAM cells to search bit lines. Each TCAM cell in the TCAM architecture includes a pair of memory elements that is connected to a pair of associated compare circuits such that the interconnections between the memory elements and the compare circuits are substantially vertical in active MOS layers and substantially horizontal in the metal layers to facilitate sharing of adjacent cells thereby providing reduced silicon area and a short aspect ratio.

Abstract: The memory array contains two layers representing word lines of different rows. Each row contains multiple bit cells sharing the same word line. The two layers are stacked one on top of another to form a high density memory array.

Abstract: A pet entertainment device for the entertainment of a pet. The device having a laser device that is configured to attach to a pet though use of a garment, such as a collar. The laser device preferably controllable through use of a remote control so that the movement of the pet (dog, cat, etc.) can be directed by the pet's owner.

Abstract: The method for powering down a circuit for a data retention mode includes: changing a supply voltage node from an active power voltage level to an inactive power level; coupling a source of a P channel device to the supply voltage node; providing a retaining power supply voltage level to a back gate of the P channel device; changing a drain voltage of the P channel device to a reference voltage level, wherein the reference voltage level is different from the retaining power supply voltage level; and changing a gate voltage of the P channel device to the reference voltage level.

Abstract: A low power E-fuse repair methodology substantially removes system latency during memory and/or E-fuse farm module power-down in a device that employs E-fuse farm technology. The method maintains power to the repair registers and minimal control logic in the memories, while all other circuitry can be either placed in a low power data retention mode, or completely powered off. There is no need to rescan the repair data from the E-fuse farm after one or more memories are powered back up. This provides dynamic power savings since there is no longer any need to idle the system to reload repair data. Since the E-fuse farm can be powered down after initial system power-up and repair data is loaded into the memories, there is also a significant leakage power savings.

Abstract: The layers forming word lines of adjacent rows of a memory array are stacked (laid on each other). As a result, the density of the memory array is enhanced.

Abstract: An embodiment of a ultra low-power data retention latch circuit involves a slave latch SL that concurrently latches the same data that is loaded into a main circuit (such as a main latch ML) during normal operation. When the circuit enters a low power (data retention) mode, power (VCC) to the main latch ML is removed and the slave latch SL retains the most recent data (retained data SA, SA-). When power is being restored to the main latch ML, the slave latch's retained data SA, SA- is quickly restored to the main latch ML through what constitute Set and Reset inputs SAR, SAR- of the ML. This arrangement ensures that data restoration is much quicker than conventional arrangements that require the output data path DATA- to be stabilized before power is re-applied to the main latch. Further, there is no need to wait for power to the ML to be stable before restoring data from the SL to the ML, providing an increase in data restoration speed over conventional data retention latches.
