Abstract: Certain embodiments for ensuring the assertion order of signals in a chip independent of physical layout may comprise receiving a first signal by a first logic block of a plurality of logic blocks integrated within a chip, where the first signal may initiate a reset of a first function within the first logic block. A second signal may be communicated from within the first logic block to a second function within a second logic block of the plurality of logic blocks, and the second signal may be adapted to initiate the second function. The first signal may be the same as a second signal. The reset of the first function may initialize the first function to a known state before the second function may generate an output that may be received by the first function. The first function may place the chip in a test mode when indicated by the generated output of the second function.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a methodology for assembling a document from content spanning multiple web-pages employing two cooperative processes. Given a starting location, one process analyzes a single page at a time to find candidate links. The links are recursively followed and those pages are analyzed. A detailed set of heuristics is used to determine what is or is not a candidate link. The candidate pages are then fed to a document-level analyzer. This process compares the attributes of one page against the others and looks for a document-like structure. Using another detailed set of heuristics, the document-level analyzer determines if the page should be included in the document.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a methodology for assembling a document from content spanning multiple web-pages employing two cooperative processes. Given a starting location, one process analyzes a single page at a time to find candidate links. The links are recursively followed and those pages are analyzed. A detailed set of heuristics is used to determine what is or is not a candidate link. The links are examined for link clusters and a table of contents if found is identified. The candidate pages are then fed to a document-level analyzer. This process compares the attributes of one page against the others and looks for a document-like structure. Using another detailed set of heuristics, the document-level analyzer determines if the page should be included in the document.

Abstract: A system and method allow for overriding of a strapping option. A strapping signal places a device (e.g., a processor) in first state or mode (e.g., client or master). An override system places the device in a second state or mode. The second state or mode can be temporary. The changing of the state or mode of the device can be used to perform testing of the chip, during which a memory is written to and read from to verify operation of the chip. The second state or mode of the device may also be used to allow the device to perform alternative functions that are not available during its first state or mode.

Abstract: A system (e.g., a chip) includes first and second function blocks (e.g., function blocks) coupled to an input/output (I/O) device (e.g., a bi-directional pin or pad) via a multiplexing module. The multiplexing module can be used for both input and output of signals between the function blocks and the I/O device. Optionally, a re-clocking system is coupled to the function blocks, the I/O device, and the multiplexing module. The re-clocking system re-clocks one or more signals being input into the multiplexing module so that they are timed correctly for input or output from the system.

Abstract: Methods and systems for synchronizing a reset signal with a local clock that drives a circuit. In the circuit, the reset signal can be used to reset one or more flip-flops, memory devices, and/or logic. Sychronization of the reset signal allows the reset signal to change at an appropriate time period in relation to the lock clock signal driving the circuit. This ensures the circuit will remain stable during reset, and no data will be lost as it is processed in the circuit. Other aspects of the invention can include using a plurality of reset signals (e.g., software, hardware, local software, etc.) to form the reset signal and using a reset control system to control resets during testing of the circuit.

Abstract: A television on a chip (TVOC) system that provides a cost effective approach for providing television functionality on a single integrated circuit chip is disclosed. A TVOC includes the functionality necessary to receive and display television signals in a variety of input and output formats. A TVOC can be used in set-top boxes for cable and satellite television, or directly within a television. All functionality provided can be provided on a single integrated circuit. TVOC includes a data transport module, an IF demodulator, a digital audio engine, an analog audio engine, a digital video engine, and an analog video engine. The TVOC also includes three sets of interfaces including output interfaces, control interfaces and ancillary interfaces. Further features and embodiments provide enhanced functionality and increased efficiencies.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for easily reconfiguring a scan chain test of a subset of scan blocks within a digital integrated circuit chip. To mitigate timing violations in the scan test of scan chains, alternative embodiments to implement a transfer of scan data to a next scan block is implemented.

Abstract: Distillate or hydrotreated distillate effluent is separated into an aromatics rich permeate and an aromatics lean retentate by use of a permselective membrane with the aromatic rich permeate being sent to a hydrotreater, thereby increasing the quantity of reduced aromatics content product.

Abstract: A light fixture assembly having both AC and DC lamps, as well as AC and DC power receptacles that is capable of operating from either an AC source or a DC source. A 110-volt AC lamp, as well as a 12-volt DC lamp are provided within a reflector housing. The reflector housing has a mask that fits onto the reflector housing. An insulating handle that contains a switch that controls AC power to the AC lamp provides insulation and improved gripping ability for a user. An electrical cord provides electrical current for both the AC and DC lamps. The electrical cord has a pair of adapters, that are compatible with first, a 110-volt AC outlet, for providing power to the AC lamp. Secondarly, the other adapter is compatible with a receptacle used for an automobile cigarette lighter, for providing power to the DC lamp.
