Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for generating graphical displays of analyte data and/or health information. In some implementations, the graphical displays are generating based on a self-referential dataset that are modifiable based on identified portions of the data. The modified graphical displays can indicate features in the analyte data of a host.

Abstract: Optical and electronic detection of chemicals, and particularly strong electron-donors, by 2H to 1T phase-based transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) films, detection apparatus incorporating the TMD films, methods for forming the detection apparatus, and detection systems and methods based on the TMD films are provided. The detection apparatus includes a 2H phase TMD film that transitions to the 1T phase under exposure to strong electron donors. After exposure, the phase state can be determined to assess whether all or a portion of the TMD has undergone a transition from the 2H phase to the 1T phase. Following detection, TMD films in the 1T phase can be converted back to the 2H phase, resulting in a reusable chemical sensor that is selective for strong electron donors.

Abstract: A system and method perform global routing during integrated circuit fabrication. The method includes performing a design change in a portion of an integrated circuit design using a processor, determining whether the design change requires rerouting, and requesting a global routing lock based on determining that the design change requires the rerouting. The method also includes a router providing control of the global routing lock to one of two or more of the threads that request the global routing lock, and performing global routing for all of the two or more of the threads in parallel. A physical implementation of the integrated circuit design is obtained.

Abstract: A method of making a low-dimensional material chemical vapor sensor comprising exfoliating MoS2, applying the monolayer flakes of MoS2 onto a SiO2/Si wafer, applying a methylmethacrylate (MMA)/polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) film, defining trenches for the deposition of metal contacts, and depositing one of Ti/Au, Au, and Pt in the trench and resulting in a MoS2 sensor. A low-dimensional material chemical vapor sensor comprising monolayer flakes of MoS2, trenches in the SiO2/Si wafer, metal contacts in the trenches, and thereby resulting in a MoS2 sensor. A full spectrum sensing suite comprising similarly fabricated parallel sensors made from a variety of low-dimensional materials including graphene, carbon nanotubes, MoS2, BN, and the family of transition metal dichalcogenides. The sensing suites are small, robust, sensitive, low-power, inexpensive, and fast in their response to chemical vapor analytes.

Abstract: A method, system and program product are described for generating a clock distribution network on an integrated circuit by determining an allowable placement region for each of a set of clock tree leaf elements in the integrated circuit. This allowable placement region is generated by determining and intersecting a set of sub-regions under different constraints, each of which identifies an area in which the clock tree leaf element is placed to satisfy the respective constraint. Constraints for which sub-regions are determined include timing constraints in the form of slacks and congestion constraints. After allowable placement regions have been determined, the clock tree leaf elements are clustered, and each clock tree leaf element is placed at a location within its allowable placement region which minimizes some cost function for that clustering.
