  • Publication number: 20210301189
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for reclaiming refrigerant. The method includes transferring, an unreclaimed refrigerant composition, including one or more hydrofluoro olefins, from a source vessel to a receiving vessel and transporting the receiving vessel to a recycling center. The unreclaimed refrigerant composition is analyzed to determine the composition of the unreclaimed refrigerant composition sample. A target composition is determined, based on the analyzed unreclaimed refrigerant composition, and one or more treatments are determined, based on the target composition. The unreclaimed refrigerant composition is treated, with the one or more treatments, to form a reclaimed refrigerant composition having the composition of the reclaimed refrigerant composition is equal to the target composition.

  • Publication number: 20210304834
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for a semiconductor die, and controlling operation of the semiconductor die. In some aspects, a semiconductor die is configured to test an I/O circuit on the semiconductor die. The semiconductor die has an input circuit that compares a voltage signal at one of a first input or a second input with a reference voltage at the other of the first input or the second input to generate an input voltage signal. The first input may be connected to an I/O contact. During a normal mode a control circuit on the die provides a reference voltage to second input. During a test mode, the control circuit internally loops back a test signal from an output circuit to the second input of the input circuit. Thus, the test signal avoids the I/O contact.
