Abstract: A system, program product, and method for processing synchronized memory repairs. The method includes identifying a faulty memory row from a plurality of functioning memory rows in a memory array. The method also includes executing memory row repair operations directed toward the faulty memory row and identifying a repair row to operationally replace the faulty memory row. The method also includes creating a multiple hot state within a memory decoder. The memory decoder includes logic circuitry for executing operation of the plurality of functioning memory rows. The method further includes activating a wordline of the identified repair row through the multiple hot state, and executing one or more memory operations on the identified repair row though the memory decoder. Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed herein facilitate synchronization of the repair row and functioning memory rows within the memory array, as well as any associated peripheral signals.

Abstract: In an approach, a processor identifies a current cell depicted in an integrated circuit layout tool, the current cell of a hierarchical layout comprises a plurality of cells. A processor generates an overlay, the overlay comprising an abstraction of at least one object present in a higher level of the hierarchical layout that overlaps with the current cell. A processor projects the overlay onto the current cell.

Abstract: A 360-degree freedom electric cord device system contains and manages automatic extension and retraction of an electric cord/cable supplying power to a push/pull-type electric machine, either self-propelled or not, for intended displacement or steering on a surface by a user. The 360-degree freedom electric cord device system, partly mounted on the electric machine, allows the power cord to clear obstacles on the surface and includes a self-retracting spool to automatically extend and rewind the power cord and continuously keeps physical tension therein, in a straight line and a natural position, during the displacement in any direction of the electric machine. With a ratchet mechanism, the device can also suitably be used independently of the machine as an electric retractable extension cord reel.

Abstract: A multi-block copolymer comprises at least one hydrophilic collagen-like block and at least one silk-like block. The silk-like block comprises an amino acid sequence ((GA)mGX)n (SEQ ID NO: 10), wherein G is glycine, A is alanine, m and n are at least 2. X is an ionizable amino acid. The ionizable amino acid can be inducedle to bear a positive charge or a negative charge. The ionizable amino acid bearing the positive charge is preferably histidine and the one bearing the negative charge is preferably glutamic acid.

Abstract: Complex coacervate core micelles as surface modification or surface treatment The present invention relates to devices carrying on the surface polymeric micelles and a process for the preparation thereof. It further relates to the use of polymeric micelles as a surface coating for rendering a surface anti-fouling and/or protein-resistant. The present invention relates to modified or treated surfaces carrying on polymeric micelles and a process for the preparation thereof. It further relates to the use of polymeric micelles as a surface coating for surface modification or surface treatment. The surface modification or surface treatment is for example for rendering a surface anti-fouling and/or protein-resistant, or for preventing bacteria proliferation, disinfecting, suppressing odours, preventing malodour, providing easy-cleaning or soil-release properties.

Abstract: A cable hoist controller used with mechanized multi-story scaffolding includes a load-bearing support plate and a prime mover secured to the support plate, the prime mover having a rotational power output shaft in direct mechanical communication with an angular velocity modification gear. The controller also includes a primary gear in driven gear relationship with the velocity modification gear, and journalled to the support plate; and a driving sheave having an axial width and further having a circumferential surface including a circumferential cable-receiving groove, the sheave journalled upon a common axis of rotation of both the primary gear and the sheave, the sheave secured in fixed rotational relationship with the primary gear. Also included is a cable situated within the cable-receiving groove of the sheave and a sequence of rollers, each having a circumferential cable-receiving groove.

Abstract: An elongate message holding device consisting of telescoping conical segments surrounded by a fluid-tight cylindrical housing. An axially, centrally located conical segment is provided with a clasp which can be used to hold a card or note upon which desired information can be placed. At another end of the telescoping segments is provided a fluid input into which a fluid, e.g. air, may be blown to cause the axially located conical segment to advance in the same direction in which the pressurized air is inputted. After the axial located conical segment has advanced to an opposite end of the cylindrical housing, its base will engage an end of the conical segment which concentrically surrounds the axially located segment to advance the next annular segment and to permit the next annular segment to receive fluid input form the fluid input opening from a mouth piece.
