  • Publication number: 20130278289
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (“IC”) device capable of programmably performing user selected functions is disclosed. The IC device, in one embodiment, includes multiple input output (“I/O”) blocks, programmable interconnection blocks (“PIBs”), and programmable logic blocks (“PLBs”). While the I/O blocks can be selectively coupled to one of I/O pads, the PIB blocks can be selectively coupled to at least a portion of the I/O blocks. Each of the PLBs, in one aspect, is configured to have at least two programmable look-up tables (“LUTs”). The programmable LUTs are connected in a cascade configuration via a dedicated programmable wire (“DPW”).

  • Publication number: 20120260183
    Abstract: A system allows users to view and analyze the status of one or more selected entities by obtaining status information associated with the selected entities and displaying the information with identifiers associated with each of the selected entities. Various embodiments of the disclosure can provide different and additional methods of displaying, analyzing, and tracking status information associated with the selected entities. Entities can selectively restrict some or all status information from being viewed by some or all users. In addition, an entity can be a user, who can self-report status information to be viewed by the user, other users, or other entities.

  • Patent number: 5622369
    Abstract: The resilient game target includes a generally planar surface which has multiple cup shaped concave receptacles. Multiple resilient dome-shaped protrusions surround each cup shaped receptacle such that a game piece which strikes a resilient dome-shaped protrusion will be reflected. Multiple target indicia are displayed on the planar surface in association with selected cup-shaped receptacles such that a selected score may be associated with a final resting position of a thrown game piece. The resilient game target is preferably integrally formed of a resilient foam, such as open-cell polyurethane.

  • Patent number: 5440957
    Abstract: An improved filter wrench is shown for applying torque to a canister-type oil filter to engage and disengage the threaded end thereof from an engine block. The tool includes a wrench body having a larger and smaller aperture for reversibly receiving smaller and larger relatively sized filter canisters. A separate driver adapter engages the exterior surface of opposite extents of the wrench body when different sized filters are being engaged within the larger and smaller apertures of the wrench body respectively, so that a variety of sizes of filters can be driven by the wrench.

The tool includes a wrench body having a larger and smaller aperture for reversibly receiving smaller and larger relatively sized filter canisters. A separate driver adapter engages the exterior of the wrench body when a filter canister is being received within the larger aperture and is itself received within the larger aperture when a filter canister is being received within the smaller aperture of the wrench body.
