  • Publication number: 20140107822
    Abstract: A system and method sorts integrated circuit devices. Integrated circuit devices are manufactured on a wafer according to an integrated circuit design using manufacturing equipment. The design produces integrated circuit devices that are identically designed and perform differently based on manufacturing process variations. The integrated circuit devices are for use in a range of environmental conditions, when placed in service. Testing is performed on the integrated circuit devices. Environmental maximums are individually predicted for each device. The environmental maximums comprise ones of the environmental conditions that must not be exceeded for each device to perform above a given failure rate. Each integrated circuit device is assigned at least one of a plurality of grades based on the environmental maximums predicted for each device.

  • Patent number: 8518384
    Abstract: Spray compositions and particularly anhydrous aerosol compositions containing particulate antiperspirant actives exhibit a tendency for nozzle blockage, impeding discharge of the contents when a polyol humectant, such as glycerol, is blended into its base composition. The problem is overcome or at least ameliorated by preparation of a base composition, suitable for employment in conjunction with a propellant, that contains a low molecular weight (liquid) polyethylene glycol (PEG) as humectant, and particularly a PEG of molecular weight 150 to 500.
