Abstract: A physical layer (PHY) device comprises a phase interpolator to generate a set of sampler clocks. A sampler of the PHY device samples a calibration data pattern based on the set of sampler clocks. A data alignment system of the PHY device performs a coarse calibration and a fine calibration on the sampler clock signals. During the coarse calibration, the data alignment system moves the sampler clock signals earlier or later in time relative to the sampled data based on a first bit of the sampled data. During the fine calibration, the data alignment system moves the sampler clock signals earlier or later in time relative to the sampled data based on the first bit, a second bit, and a third bit in the sampled data.

Abstract: A robotic process automation system provides a capability to deploy software robots (bots) by receiving from a deployment user a bot deployment request comprising a bot identification that identifies a specific preexisting bot and an authorized class of user to execute the specific preexisting bot. Credentials of the deployment user are checked. An execution device upon which the specific preexisting bot will execute is identified from a set of available devices. An authorization token is issued for the execution device to uniquely identify the execution device and to authorize the execution device to communicate with the robotic process automation system. In response to a request by the execution device the specific preexisting bot and credentials corresponding to the authorized class of user are provided, wherein the specific preexisting bot executes on the execution device automatically without input from any individual corresponding to the authorized class of user.

In one implementation, the critical path architect may be implemented with a system having a processor and memory including instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to analyze timing data of an integrated circuit. The timing data may include transition times for cells along paths of the integrated circuit. The instructions may cause the processor to identify instances of timing degradation for the cells along the paths of the integrated circuit. The instructions may cause the processor to recommend changes for the instances of the cells along the paths having timing degradation.

Abstract: The invention provides the art with a powerful diagnostic method of distinguishing relapse-remitting MS subjects from progressive MS subjects, based on the measurement of serum concentrations of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc,), for the first time enabling rapid diagnosis of the progressive form of MS. GlcNAc serum concentration can also be used to assess neurodegenerative status and MS progression in subjects suffering from MS or other neurological conditions. The methods of the invention also allow for the identification of new therapeutics for MS and other neurological conditions and also enables the personalized efficacy assessment of a potential therapy for an MS subject.
