Abstract: A modular rack to hold a plurality of specimen containers for performing assays. The modular rack can be increased or decreased in holding capacity by adding or subtracting modules to the rack. The modular rack also has removable webs so that different size specimen containers may be retained by the rack.

Abstract: A model and system employing the model provides an organized structure for storing, displaying, and navigating content data regarding instruments for market driven industries (i.e., securities). A Market Research Model (MRM) paradigm is used to represent elemental concepts, a plurality of specific classes of entities form the MRM, and an interface is used to assemble, maintain, and interact with the model. Information may be added to the model by a research provider and provided to an end user on a subscription basis. The user is provided with an interconnected, navigable model of an item of interest for research and decision-making support.

Abstract: A computer implemented process for the automatic creation of integrated circuit (IC) geometry including a multiple pass process flow using multiple passes of direct timing driven placement after a first pass of non-direct timing driven placement. First, a high level description of the circuit design may be synthesized. Next, a non-direct timing driven placement process may place the design. Then the placed design may be routed. Alternatively, routability may be estimated. After routing, a modified design may be resynthesized. The resynthesized design may then be placed according to a direct timing driven placement process. This sequence may be repeated several times.
