Abstract: The present invention pertains to automated technology dependent transformations in Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) during the digital design synthesis, the transformations include the steps of receiving input design specification in the form of technology independent specification and/or interconnected structural blocks, where the structural blocks have been described as a library of standard-cells; performing the technology dependent transformations during the digital design synthesis, resulting in interconnected SOI standard-cells from a SOI target library accounting for floating body effects, including floating body effects affecting delays over long periods of simulation time or testing over long times on fabricated SOI library cells, and/or SOI transistor level representations or a combination thereof, transistor sizing and evaluating the standard-cell mapping and/or transistor-level representation for all or portion of the input design specification iteratively to meet delay and/or power constraints for SOI

Abstract: A system and method for field fluid sampling and analyzing dissolved gases in electrical equipment fluids is described. The system includes a disposable vial which is sealed with a self-sealing stopper. Fluid to be analyzed is inserted into the vial by a hollow needle. Also described is apparatus for evacuating and sealing the vial and apparatus for introducing fluid from electrical equipment into the vial.

Abstract: This invention relates to a manganese oxide catalyst composition consisting essentially of at least about 40 weight percent manganese, from about 1 to about 25 weight percent lanthanum, from about 5 to about 20 weight percent copper and from about 20 to about 30 weight percent oxygen, a high temperature stable manganese catalyst/carrier combustion oxidation catalyst composition and a method of destroying VOCs and other gaseous organics using the composition of the invention.
