  • Patent number: 6327556
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for performing testing of a computer model of an integrated circuit design is disclosed. The method includes initially generating a first AVF test file for a first integrated circuit design having slow characteristics. Then, the method proceeds to generate a second AVF test file for a second integrated circuit design having fast characteristics. Once the two AVF test files are generated, the method proceeds to comparing test file parameters from the first AVF test file and the second AVF test file. Based on the comparisons, the method proceeds to generate a modified AVF test file that replaces miscompares (i.e., cycle slips) between output signals of the first and second AVF test files with don't care values. The method also includes options for performing pin margining. The pin margining operations are configured to make modifications to the AVF test files in order to compensate for expected physical test station adjustments.

  • Patent number: 6299194
    Abstract: A foldable stroller includes a pair of hollow handle tubes, a pair of front legs, a pair of plungers, and a pair of actuating members. Each handle tube has a lower end with an enlarged portion. Each front leg has an upper end with a rearward enlarged part. When the handle tubes are moved from a first folded position to a first stretched position, the enlarged portion of the respective handle tube moves from a first angular position where it does not overlap with the rearward enlarged part of the respective front leg, to a second angular position where it overlaps with the rearward enlarged part. Each locking member has a hooked portion mounted on the rearward enlarged part of the respective front leg, and a rear hooking portion mounted on the enlarged portion of the respective handle tube. Each plunger has actuated and coupling ends, and a middle portion coupled to the rear hooking portion of the respective locking member. Each actuating member has actuating and linking ends.

  • Patent number: 6267405
    Abstract: A foldable stroller includes a pair of rear legs, a pair of hollow handle tubes, a pair of front legs, a pair of bracing rods, a pair of locking members, a pair of plungers, a pair of actuating members, and a pair of biasing members. Each handle tube has a lower end with a forward enlarged portion. Each front leg has an upper end with a rearward enlarged portion. When the handle tubes are moved from a folded position to a stretched position, the forward enlarged portion moves from a first angular position where the forward enlarged portion overlaps slightly with the rearward enlarged portion, to a second angular position where the forward enlarged portion overlaps extensively with the rearward enlarged portion. Each locking member has a hooked portion disposed on the rearward enlarged portion and a rear hooking portion that is pivotally mounted on the forward enlarged portion, and that engages the hooked portion when the forward enlarged portion is in the second angular position.

  • Patent number: 5733226
    Abstract: A leg exerciser includes first and second legs, and a stretcher member. The first and second legs are mounted pivotally to each other at a first pivot. Each of the first and second legs has upper and lower leg portions which are disposed respectively at two opposite sides relative to the first pivot. The stretcher member is disposed to link the first upper leg portion and the second upper leg portion in such a manner that when the first and second lower leg portions are in a straddled position, the stretcher member is in a stretched position and, when the first and second lower leg portions are in a folded position, the stretcher member is in a non-stretched position.

  • Patent number: 5640861
    Abstract: A motorcycle lock consists of a housing containing a lock in an intermediate portion and two deadbolt bases in two lengthwise ends, two deadbolts on the deadbolt bases, an upper rotatable disc on the lock and a shackle. The shackle has two feet able to be inserted in two shackle holes in the housing and coil spring holes in the deadbolt bases and then separately locked by the deadbolts by rotating a key inserted in the lock. In unlocking the key is used to rotate the lock to free the two deadbolts from the two feet of the shackle.
