Abstract: Abstract of Disclosure The present invention is a method means of preventing water-leak damage to any hot water system providing means, or any water storage means such as washing machines, water storage means used in manufacturing facilities, or any water volume means where the prevention of water-leak damage is desired, vital, or essential. Water-leak damage is prevented using a collection flange reservoir system means at the base of a hot-water tank means. Said collection flange reservoir system means can be an afore added component to a hot-water tank means or a feature of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) production means, which is a novel feature and further intention of the present invention.

Abstract: A cross-linked development and deployment system that links system design, simulation, real-time emulation, integration, and in-system verification to system implementation in the field, creating final products that are field programmable systems on printed circuit boards or field programmable systems on silicon. In a preferred embodiment, hardware and software models are created and verified in an integrated co-development environment. These models can be synchronized with each other and can also be used for in-circuit emulation and in-system verification of the system under development. Once the system has gone through verification and completed system integration, the system design database that has been generated from that testing is used to program either a field programmable printed circuit board or a field programmable system on silicon.
