Abstract: A pool of die designs includes die designs having metal programmable base layers. Die designs from the pool are selected for use in fabricating dies. Die designs are added to the pool by customization of die designs already in the pool or by preparing custom die designs that incorporate a metal programmable base layer. In some embodiments multi-tile dies are provided with I/O slots configurable for either inter tile communication or inter die communication.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing of data from GNSS receivers are presented. A post-processing engine and a post-processed accuracy predictor are described. The post-processing engine provides high accuracy GNSS (GPS) position determination with short occupation time for GIS applications. The post-processed accuracy predictor calculates during data collection an estimate of the accuracy likely to be achieved after post-processing. This helps to optimize productivity when collecting GNSS data for which post-processed accuracy is important. The predictor examines the quality of carrier measurements and estimates how well the post-processed float solution will converge in the time since carrier lock was obtained.

Abstract: A metal configurable I/O structure for an integrated circuit is disclosed. The metal configurable I/O structure may be configured for one of any of a plurality of I/O specifications. Preferably a common voltage reference and a common current reference is generated for provision to a plurality of I/O structures.

Abstract: A computer based trading system implies spread markets from multiple real or implied spread markets. In particular, one aspect of the invention permits implication of a spread market from a combination of inter-commodity and inter-calendar spread orders. Furthermore, another aspect of the invention allows use of nontradeable implied or bridge markets to combine with other implied or real markets to create further tradeable implied markets. The method described herein thereby permits the creation of all implied markets that are inherent in the combination of futures, calendar spread and inter-commodity spread real orders.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with pharmaceutical compositions containing certain adenosine derivatives having an acetylene group in the 4′ position, which are adenosine A1 agonists, and to their use in therapy.

Abstract: A portable carrier for a beverage container has a base member with an open top and closed bottom, the open top communicating with a cavity defined by an upper portion of selected cross-sectional dimension and a lower portion of reduced cross-sectional dimension providing an internal ledge, the base member having external integral opposed boss portions having openings therethrough. A cover member has a closed top and open bottom with a cavity therein communicating with the open bottom, the cover member telescopically mating with the base member when in the closed position, the cover member having integral external opposed boss portions with openings. A cord extends through the openings in the boss portions of the cover member and the base member with knots at the ends thereof so that thereby the cord serves the dual function of providing means for carrying the portable carrier as well as preventing inadvertent misplacement of the cover member.
