Abstract: A composite and method for producing the composite by incorporating wood or wood pulp fibres with a suitable thermoplastic polymer and coupling agent are described. Homogeneous, void-free transparent/translucent thermoplastic materials in the form of pellets, films or three-dimensional moldable products are produced. The wood pulp fibres can be discrete natural fibres, and flexible assemblies of nano to micro elements, e.g., assemblies of aggregated carbon nanotubes. It is also possible to use our vacuum-assisted co-extrusion process to produce hybrid composites comprising the wood pulp fibre and a further rigid fibre, like glass or carbon fibres, and a flexible fibre or fibrillar network, like cellulose fibres or cellulose filaments. The thermoplastic resin can be, but not limited to, polyolefins, like polypropylene or polyethylene, or polyesters, like polylactic acid, or co-polymers, like acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer.

Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to a scalable, modularized mechanism which allows for storing programmable data streams on chip and provides repeatable on-demand issuances of data streams to one or more targeted instruments. In some embodiments, multiple data streams are grouped into data stream schedules to perform a series of programmable operations on demand. In these and other embodiments, data stream schedules can be reused and further grouped into data stream plans that can be executed in any order upon request or are hard-coded in a specific order.

The second MBIST logic(s) may be based on the first MBIST logic(s). The second MBIST logic(s) may be generated, which may be performed by modifying the first MBIST logic(s). The first MBIST logic(s) may be modified based on a modification(s) to a register transfer level (RTL) list associated with the memory unit(s).

An integrated circuit (IC) source file that describes an integrated circuit in a hardware description language is received. The IC source file includes macros corresponding to memory. For each macro, a physical description file corresponding to the macro is generated. The description includes how the macro corresponds to the physical memory, associations of physical memories with the logical memory, enabling conditions, and data needed to test the memory.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for testing the memory components of an integrated Circuit (IC) using a routing logic and a built-in design for test (DFT) hardware processing device. Based on input provided from an interface controller to the IC, the IC is tested according to one of at least two modes. In a first mode, the built-in DFT hardware processing device executes a test that checks for faults in the physical memory of the IC. In a second mode, the built-in DFT hardware processing device executes a test that checks for faults in the error correction logic of the IC. By using the same routing logic and built-in DFT hardware processing device, tests of the memory components according to the first and second mode can be executed on an automatic and serial basis, even after the manufacture of the IC.

Abstract: Features are disclosed for aggregating data from numerous data sources related to events (such as expositions, trade shows, conventions and meetings) and integrating such data into a comprehensive data store. The data can be analyzed, searched and filtered to provide targeted communications and customized reports regarding various aspects of an exposition or other event. The targeted communications and customized reports may be based on data from multiple (e.g., two or more) discrete data sources. Examples of the targeted communications include text messages, emails, invitations, previews, and follow-up messages designed to facilitate in-person meetings between event participants (e.g., attendees and exhibitors at expositions). Examples of the customized reports include hotel utilization reports to determine the economic impact of an exposition on a host city, commissions due to third-party vendors, and the like.

Abstract: A toilet seat and training system specifically designed for cats. The instant seat includes a circular sitting member having a center orifice therethrough, a wide platform formed on opposite sides thereof so a cat can be well balanced thereon, and a series of concentric annular tray members attached to an inner rim of the sitting member and formed having progressively smaller sizes, and which can be successively removed to vary the size of the center orifice, and is designed to releasably attach to an existing toilet and fit underneath a human toilet seat, so people can still have use of their toilet seat without interference from the cat's seat. This seat can be used in conjunction with specialized dissolving litter, a pet urine odor eliminator, and a urine detector light.
