Abstract: An intellectual property management facility for proactively creating, developing and managing an intellectual property portfolio includes: determining available resource capacity for an intellectual property activity in a tracking system; assigning technical attributes to the activity in the tracking system; apportioning resource capacity for the activity by technical attribute based on the value assigned to each of the technical attributes and based on available resource capacity; obtaining actual resource usage by technical attribute from the tracking system; and managing resource allocation for the intellectual property activity by determining the difference between the actual resource usage and the resource allocation by technical attribute.

Abstract: In a silicon on insulator technology, cooling channels in a support substrate are located substantially under the junction regions of selected individual active devices in a semiconductor layer, where the junction regions are separated from the substrate by an insulating layer. In a second embodiment, thermal conductors in a support substrate are located substantially under the junction regions of selected individual active devices in a semiconductor layer where the junction regions are separated from the substrate by an insulating layer. Optionally, either the cooling channels or the thermal conductors may be enlarged such that a plurality of devices may be cooled by a single cooling channel or thermal conductor.
