The network mixer plate is confined by the heat exchanger plate that have an inner chamber where a heat exchanger fluid is introduced. Said network plates and heat exchanger plates are designed to have the option to be assembled as modules of larger processing units.

Abstract: An integrated circuit provides a semiconductor die with I/O bond pads, a power bond pad, and a circuit ground pad. Each I/O bond pad is associated with an input circuit that has an input circuit output lead. Sets of digital logic functional circuitry on the die provide different digital logic functions. Each function includes logic input leads and logic output leads. Output circuits each have an output circuit in lead and an output circuit out lead. Strapping structures, such as vias, formed in the semiconductor die electrically couple input circuits to a selected set of digital logic functions and the selected set of digital logic functions to output circuit in leads. Upper level metal conductors couple output circuit out leads and selected I/O bond pads.

Abstract: A rule based analysis of content is provided to manage activation of a web extension. A user interaction with the content launches a process to match a rule from the manifest to a portion of the content. The rule and the detected content are loaded into memory. The content is processed using the rule and by accessing the memory containing the content to determine a match. An application may choose to process the content using the rules on a background thread to avoid impacting user's experience. An activation control is displayed for the web extension associated with the rule within a web extension pane upon matching the rule to an item in the content.

Abstract: One or more high-order bit linear branches of a segmented DAC are implemented as R-2R networks geometrically down-scaled from the DAC binary portion by a selected factor. The resulting increase in closely-located mismatch is compensated for by implementing a trim circuit at a low-order end of each such linear branch. The trim circuit is designed with a number of trim steps to compensate for the selected linear branch down-scaling factor. Each trim step switches a resistance into the low-order end of the linear branch resulting in an even resistance increment or decrement at the lumped linear branch output. The trim circuit is calibrated to provide an amount of trim at the linear branch output such that the lumped resistance of the trimmed linear branch matches the lumped resistance of the binary portion within a selected tolerance (e.g., generally +/?0.5 LSB).

Abstract: A web extension is managed through a manifest file. An application managing the web extension receives attributes of the extension from a developer or metadata of the extension. A pointer to the web extension is inserted into the attributes. The pointer can be used as a link to activate the web extension. The attributes are stored in a manifest file formatted in extensible markup language (XML). The functionality of the web extension is managed based on the manifest file.

Abstract: A web extension and content are linked contextually. A user interaction with the content launches a process to match a regular expression rule from the web extension to a portion of the content. An entity matching the regular expression rule is recorded and transmitted back to the web extension. Matched entity is integrated into the rule. The integrated rule is displayed in a web extension pane. The integrated rule and the entity are highlighted within the web extension pane and the content pane, respectively. The highlighted entity and the highlighted rule illustrate a contextual link between the web extension and the content.

Abstract: System and methods for directing a federated search using a location description file to locate a data source are provided. For a federated search, a location description may be used to describe the location of each data source searched, and may further be used to connect the user to that particular data source. The format of such a location description file may include several elements, some of which provide information on how to display the file (e.g., name, description, author, icon link, etc.) and other elements (e.g., simple location, location type, etc.) are used to connect the user to the location of the data source.

Abstract: A static continuous flow mixer, with or without reaction, is provided with basic cells, which are individually provided with an individualized chamber (1). The basic cells are also provided with at least two connecting channels (2), at least two of them being oblique relatively to the resulting direction (x) of the flow in the mixer, and with at least two additional apertures (0) for connection with the exterior. The cells interconnect successively in the space, forming a network. The mixer promotes convective processes. The dimensions (Dj, li, di, ?), the geometry of the chambers (spherical or cylindrical) and of the channels (cylindrical or prismatic) may vary, as well as their quantity.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a schema to describe the structure of a data store that may be used to query the data store. The schema may include a property description describing static and contextual attributes of a property of the data store. The schema may also include a property reference describing contextual attributes of a property of the data store, while referencing static attributes from a property description in another schema. In some instances, the schema may further describe item types and/or kinds for the data store.
