Abstract: The invention relates to a arrangement for single-grip mixing faucets operated by turning only, comprising a fixed inlet disc (11) and a rotating regulation disc (16) arranged above each other forming thereby a plane seal, for regulating the amount and ratio of the cold and hot water flowing through the system. The cold water inlet channel (12) connected to the cold water network and the hot water inlet channel (13) are developed in the fixed inlet disc (11) whereas the cold water flow-through channels (17) and the hot water flow-through channels (18) are developed in the rotating regulation disc (16). The cold water flow-through channel (17) and the hot water flow-through channel (18) are connected to the mixing space (19), which is developed either in the regulation disc (16), or in a turning element (20) being in an operation connection with the regulation disc (16), at the side of the regulation disc (16) opposite to the inlet disc (11).

Abstract: A method is taught for determining a calibrated wire load model. The calibrated wire load model can be used to reach timing closure for an integrated circuit. The method includes; determining a reference timing description; determining a wire load model based on synthesis; determining a wire load model based connectivity; comparing the wire load model based on connectivity to the reference timing description. The method teaches adjusting the wire load model based on connectivity to determine a wire load model which faciliates timing closure. The method also teaches comparing the wire load model (based on synthesis) with the reference timing description. The disclosure contemplates a computer program product based upon the method taught. The disclosure further contemplates an integrated circuit designed based on the method taught. In another embodiment a computer system or another electronic system includes an integrated circuit designed by the method taught.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a novel 8-substituted-9H-1,3-dioxolo-[4,5-h][2,3]benzodiazepine compound of formula I and pharmaceutically acceptable quaternary ammonium salts thereof, a process for preparing the same, a pharmaceutical composition containing a 8-substituted-9H-1,3-dioxolo-[4,5-h][2,3]benzodiazepine compound, and a method of treatment using the pharmaceutical composition. A complete description of the compound of formula I is found in the specification. The compounds of the general formula I possess unique competitive AMPA/kainite antagonist properties making them useful in the treatment of diseases where inhibition of the AMPA/kainite receptors may a favorable effect.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for modeling an input/output cell located on the perimeter of an integrated circuit. A method is taught to model an the integrated circuit when sufficient area is not available on the perimeter of the integrated circuit. The input/output cell can be modeled in two locations; one location on the perimeter of the cell and a second location in the interior area, or core, of the integrated circuit. The model uses a cover to prevent the area of the core of the integrated circuit from being used for other purposes. When the input/output cell is divided into a main cell and more than one pre-cell, the model uses a cover for each pre-cell. The model adjusts the timing of the signals to compensate for the input/output cell being divided into two areas. In an embodiment a software tool performs the functions of the model.

Abstract: A method correlates a timing target for electronic design automation (EDA) design tools by comparing slack distributions. A method of designing an integrated circuit can include designing an integrated circuit by RTL synthesis with embedded timing analysis and optimization and placement of cells with embedded timing analysis and optimization. The method can also include designing an integrated circuit by routing with embedded timing analysis and optimization; performing reference timing analysis; performing reference timing analysis and embedded timing analysis using a parasitic estimation model. The method can also include comparing at least two slack distributions resulting from timing analyses. The method can include calculating and comparing autocorrelation functions of slack distributions. The method can include calculating interrcorrelation functions of slack distributions. An embodiment teaches an integrated circuit designed by the method taught.

Abstract: Oligomers which inhibit expression of a collagen gene are described. It is believed that each oligomer, when introduced into a cell, forms a transcription-inhibiting complex composed of the oligomer and the collagen-gene promoter region. The oligomer, preferably a phosphorothioate deoxyoligonucleotide, preferably binds in the antiparallel orientation to the polypurine strand of a polypurine-polypyrimidine region of the promoter region of a mammalian .alpha.1 (I) collagen gene.

Abstract: A process for thermally converting components of gas currents contaminating the environment and equipment for performing the process. Combustion serving for the primary heat production is performed in the gas current to be converted thermically and in a plurality of places in proper distribution. In such a manner, gas currents next to the flames produced in the course of combustion are heated to high temperatures and by utilizing the secondary heat quantity arising in the course of the thermic conversion taking place quickly in the vicinity of the flames, the process of thermal conversion is further accelerated.
