  • Patent number: 11662383
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) device and a method for communicating test data utilizes test control circuitry, and a test controller. The test controller is coupled with the test control circuitry and decodes packetized test pattern data to identify configuration data for the test controller and test data for the test control circuitry. The test controller further communicates the test data to the test control circuitry, and packetizes resulting data received from the test control circuitry. The resulting data corresponds to errors identified by a test performed based on the test pattern data.

  • Patent number: 11379649
    Abstract: To specifically identify faults within a semiconductor cell, a SPICE netlist associated with the semiconductor cell design is retrieved, and one or more transistor characteristics are identified within the SPICE netlist. An advanced cell-aware fault model is executed for the semiconductor cell, and results are returned for one or more fault test methods of the advanced cell-aware fault model for a cell of the semiconductor chip design. A method for identifying faults within the semiconductor cell continues by correlating one more faults detected as a result of the fault test methods with one or more transistor characteristics within the SPICE netlist, and a user interface is generated for identifying one or more faulty transistors within the semiconductor chip design.

  • Publication number: 20180121894
    Abstract: A message tracking computing device for tracking messages is provided. The message tracking computing device includes a memory in communication with a processor. The processor is programmed to receive user input defining a message tracking scheme, the user input specifying a message index, a tracking duration, and a selected time zone, monitor data signals transmitted over a network, identify at least one candidate message based on the message index, determine, based on a source timestamp included in the at least one candidate message, a corresponding time in the selected time zone for the at least one candidate message, and track, based on the corresponding time for the at least one candidate message, the parameter specified in the message index over the tracking duration.

  • Patent number: 7608769
    Abstract: A packaged drum set including a carton having a top wall, a bottom wall, and a plurality of side walls one of which defines a transparent window; and wherein the walls form a chamber retaining a frame assembly which defines a first nest disposed in a lower portion of the chamber and second and third horizontally spaced apart nests disposed in an upper portion of the chamber. At least partially visible through the window are a bass drum disposed in the first nest; a snare drum disposed in the second nest; and a tom drum disposed in the third nest. The window provides a clear impression of the drum set retained within the carton.

  • Patent number: 7364172
    Abstract: A dolly which is removably attachable to a bucket which is used for construction work such as retaining tile grout or is used for gardening. The attachment device has one section which can be press fit onto the bottom of the bucket so that the bucket can be rolled and a second section which can be press fit onto the top of the bucket so that the bucket is sealed to prevent its contents from drying out. The device also has an optional seating platform to support accessory items to be used with the bucket.
