Abstract: An Automated Dynamic low voltage monitoring (LVM) based Low-Power (ADLLP) debug capability for a system-on-chip (SoC) as well as the open/closed-chassis platform for faster TTM (Time to Market) of the final platform or system. ADLLP Debug is achieved by detection of the probe connection between a target system (e.g., SoC) and debug host system. A user can dynamically override the power, clocks and LVM for intellectual property (IP) blocks not part of the debug trace by instructing a Power Management Controller (PMC) via the Inter Processor Communication (IPC) mailbox (or any other suitable mailbox driver) to set the registers in a Target Firmware (TFW) based on the probe and debug use-case.

Abstract: A seal assembly includes a tensionable annular member and a gap seal annular member that are axially juxtaposed and configured to be carried by one of a pair of coaxially movable components for sealingly engaging another one of the pair of components. The tensionable annular member includes first and second radial surfaces, an inner surface, and an outer contact surface. Rounded bottom grooves are formed across the first radial surface from the outer contact surface to the inner surface. In another embodiment, notches are formed across the inner surface from the first radial surface to the second radial surface.

Abstract: A first state of an interconnect protocol is entered. A particular signal is sent according to the protocol to a device over a link. During the first state, it is detected that a response to the particular signal is received in the first state. It is determined that the device supports a configuration mode outside the protocol based on the received response. The configuration mode is entered based on the response. One or more in-band configuration messages are sent within the configuration mode.

Abstract: Apparatus and techniques for performing JTAG testing on production devices and systems through industry standard interfaces. The devices employ processors configured to receive packetized test input data from a tester over a standard communication interface such as a USB or Ethernet port and perform associated testing operations defined by the test input data, such as JTAG-compliant testing. This is facilitated, in part, via use of a bridge and one or more DFx handlers, with the bridge operating as an interface between the DFx handlers and a bus and/or interconnect over which test input and result data is transferred via the standard communication interface. The techniques enable testing such as JTAG testing to be performed on fully-assembled devices and systems without requiring the use of dedicated test or debug ports.

Abstract: A fragrance diffuser system includes a fragrance cartridge and a plug-in module. The fragrance cartridge carrying a particular fragrance, the particular fragrance having an optimum diffusion temperature associated therewith. The fragrance cartridge further includes a fragrance heater configured for heating the particular fragrance at the optimum diffusion temperature. A portion of the fragrance cartridge defines a first key member. The plug-in module includes a cartridge receiver therein and has at least a first plug electrode and a second plug electrode associated therewith. The cartridge receiver is configured for receiving the fragrance cartridge therein, and the first plug electrode and the second plug electrode are configured for providing an optimum electrical power supply to the fragrance heater. The optimum electrical power supply is based upon an amount of power needed by the fragrance heater to heat the particular fragrance to the optimum diffusion temperature.

Abstract: This invention provides a process for fumigating a plot of ground soil which involves dispersing a particulate ammonium carboxylate such as ammonium bicarbonate on or below the ground surface, followed by covering of the treated ground area with a tarpaulin to seal the ground surface from contact with the atmosphere. The tarpaulin covering is maintained on the ground surface for a sufficient time period to allow decomposition of the ammonium bicarbonate into a mixture of ammonia and carbon dioxide gases, and to effect fumigation of the covered plot with the generated gas mixture.
