Abstract: A routing tool for routing nets within an integrated circuit design that includes: a processor; and a memory in communication with the processor and storing programming for the routing tool and a number of sets of equivalent wire codes. When the processor, alone or working with other processors, executes the programming, the routing tool routes each net in the integrated circuit design to satisfy parameters specified by a wire code associated with each net. Upon failure to route a net based on a current wire code assignment, the routing tool attempts to route the net using another wire code from a set of equivalent wire codes that includes the current wire code.

Abstract: Described herein are formulations that comprise at least about 50% by weight water and no greater than about 1% by weight of a sphingolipid. The formulations can be applied to a region of skin of a subject. After the formulation is applied to the region of the skin of the subject, a biochemical pathway can be activated by the formulation to cause the production of a ceramide on the region of the skin of the subject. The amount of the ceramide produced on the region of the skin of the subject can be greater than a baseline amount of the ceramide that is produced in the absence of the formulation. In various examples, the increased amount of ceramide produced after applying the formulation to the region of the skin of the subject can modify a condition present on the region of the skin of the subject.

Abstract: The present invention discloses two component cross-linked copolymers in bead form wherein the cross-linked copolymer of the first component formed in the first step has lower cross-linker content than the cross-linker content in the cross-linked copolymer of the second component formed in the second step.

These ion exchange resins offer advantages in applications such as water treatment, condensate polishing, and unit operations in non-water application like drug purification, sugar processing, catalysis etc.
