  • Collapsible rolling luggage
    Patent number: 10143279
    Abstract: The invention relates to a collapsible luggage bag that improves maneuverability of the bag when a user is towing the bag and collapses to a reduced size to improve portability. In particular, the invention relates to a handle that is slideably interconnected to one or more stays such that the upper ends of the stays change position along the length of the handle as the handle retracts into the luggage. Further, the handle disconnects from one or more of the stays such that the handle, stays, and other frame components collapse and lie in a common plane. This collapsibility improves the portability of the luggage bag when the internal volume of the luggage bag is not used to store items.

  • Testing mechanism for a proximity fail probability of defects across integrated chips
    Patent number: 10114071
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a testing mechanism determines a status of circuits within a chip by analyzing fail signatures on a by-level basis to identify a high probability defect area within the chip. The testing mechanism further determines a whether functionally needed circuitry of the chip intersects with the high probability defect area within the chip and determines the status of the circuits in response to the determining of whether the functionally needed circuitry intersects with the high probability defect area.

  • Speculative interrupt signalling
    Patent number: 10102160
    Abstract: A data processing system includes an interrupt controller having a priority level arbitrator and trigger circuitry. The priority level arbitrator and the trigger circuitry operate in parallel to process interrupt signals received by an interrupt signal receiver. The trigger circuitry generates a trigger signal initiating interrupt processing before the priority level arbitrator has completed its arbitration determination at an arbitration-completed time. If the interrupt processing triggered by the trigger signal was inappropriate, then is terminated once the result of the arbitration is known after the arbitration-completed time.

  • Method and Apparatus for Offline Supported Adaptive Testing
    Publication number: 20180136273
    Abstract: In various embodiments, the disclosure relates to a hardware test generation environment for developing test tool analysis workflows. Configurable flow files direct the steps, procedures, and data acquisitions associated with device testing and can be flexibly deployed and updated in connection with a variety of electronic test tools. The hardware test generation environment may operate separately from the hardware test execution environment allowing device test protocols and methodologies to be independently developed, improved, and validated.

  • SEMICONDUCTOR POWER AND PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
    Publication number: 20180031630
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a method and system for testing and optimizing integrated circuit devices. Latches within an integrated circuit device that fail to operate properly are found using observed data from a test. Thereafter, a directed graph of the layout of the integrated circuit is used to find clock controllers that feed into the latches. The clock controllers that are the most likely to be at issue are ranked, then testing can be performed to confirm that a critical path can be found. The critical path can be excluded from further power optimization to maintain the performance of the integrated circuit device. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
