  • Publication number: 20120298230
    Abstract: A liquid disposal system comprises a nozzle configured to suck liquid from a kitchen container, wherein the nozzle is configured to be manipulated by a user's hand. The system comprises a pipe coupled to the nozzle, wherein the pipe is configured to direct liquid from the nozzle to a disposal means. The system comprises a suction pump coupled to the nozzle and to the pipe, wherein the suction pump is configured to suck liquid through the nozzle and pipe when the suction pump is activated.

  • Patent number: 6481001
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically proactively debugging fitting problems in programmable devices. Automatic fitters are computer programs that place and route circuit resources within a programmable device, e.g., a complex programmable logic device (CPLD) to determine the resources used and timing for a given hardware design. Upon a fitting failure for an IC or hardware design, an embodiment first may identify any specific architectural information, if any, causing the failure and may advise the user including solution recommendations. Second, an embodiment obtains a larger device having the same pin package, if available, or a virtual device, and may perform a second fitting on the hardware design but using this larger device. If this fits properly, then the resulting pin assignment is fixed and a third fitting may be performed on the smaller device with the fixed pin assignment. If this fails, further architectural violations are identified and solution recommendations are given to the user.
