Abstract: A system of a tamper evidence/child resistant latch device and an enclosure is disclosed. The latching device and the enclosure will remain separate to each other as items that can be “attached” to each other to become as “one item” only when the enclosure such as a bag and/or a blister pack is packaged with a commodity. The system requires “hand-resistance” to break a “seal” to gain access to the commodity. The “seal” aligns with a matching “internal hook” so designed that must be hand-broken to gain access to the commodity. A commodity having a value and not considered as dangerous to a child, can provide new security levels. The system requires the dexterity of two hands, as a “capacity” belonging to an adult, but would be difficult for a child.

Abstract: A method, implemented on at least one computing device, for executing program code of a probabilistic programming language. The program code comprises a series of statements including random procedures for which values are determined when the random procedures are executed, and constraints on results obtained when executing the program code.

Abstract: An integrated circuit is wire bonded in a manner such that there is consistent RF performance from integrated circuit package to integrated circuit package. Bond distances within the integrated circuit are measured, each corresponding to a wire bond to be formed.

A wire is bonded across a given one of the bond distances to form a given one of the wire bonds. A wire bond profile for the given wire bond is provided having an area thereunder that is substantially equal to the calculated area.
