Abstract: A computer implemented method for automated generation and verification of a technology specific logic model and a technology independent logic model of a memory array, the method at least comprising: having a first set of parameters; having a set of constraints, creating a second set of parameters; generating the technology independent model of the memory array wherein the second set of parameters and the set of constraints are used; generating the technology specific model of the memory array wherein the first set of parameters and the set of constraints are used; verifying the technology independent model and the technology specific model for equivalence on a sequential logic basis.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dispensing a solid particulate product, and powders, pellets, granules, and micro-solids in particular, is disclosed. The dispenser includes a housing (12) and a metering device. The dispenser dispenses the solid particulate product while protecting the solid particulate product from environmental conditions such as humidity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing registration control in connection with a web converting manufacturing process such as that used for manufacturing disposable absorbent garments. Some of the disclosed embodiments include relating inspection data, such as product (or process) attribute data, to data from other manufacturing-related systems. Also disclosed are systems and methods for linking product (or process) attribute data obtained during the manufacturing process with one or more data sources including raw material data, process setting data, product quality data, and/or productivity data. Also disclosed are systems and methods for identifying manufacturing set point changes and automatically implementing such changes and automated web steering changes based on data from one or more inspection systems.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for removing material from a high speed, moving substrate. This method includes the steps of: supplying a moving substrate having at least one first portion and at least one second portion, providing a cutter and using the cutter to substantially sever the first portion from the second portion, nipping the first portion between a movable mechanical finger and a movable complementary surface, and moving the second portion away from the first portion while the first portion is maintained in contact between the movable mechanical finger and the movable complementary surface.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing alarming indications and troubleshooting indications and actions in connection with a web converting manufacturing process such as that used for manufacturing disposable absorbent garments.
