Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to provide a parallel test mode for multi-core processors. A test access port (TAP) in a first processor core generates a first test data output (TDO) from a first test data input (TDI) or a first delayed TDI according to a TDO select bit. The first delayed TDI is clocked by a test clock (TCK). The first processor core has a first core circuit. The TAP generates a phase select word. A clock generator generates a clock signal synchronized with the TCK and has a low phase and a high phase. A first enable circuit enables first core data from the first core circuit in one of the low and high phases of the clock signal according to the phase select word.

Abstract: The invention provides methods, apparatus, and systems for performing high-throughput preparation and screening of salts and polymorphs of drug candidates. The invention is directed towards enhancing the pre-formulation discovery process used for drug development. In particular, processes that determine suitable salts and processes that discover substantially every polymorph that can form from a particular drug candidate are provided. The processes are performed using several apparatuses that are specifically configured to carry-out various steps in a high-throughput characterization process. One such apparatus is configured for synthesizing a plurality of library members based on, for example, a library model generated by a computer system. Another apparatus may filter the synthesized solution to provide a substantially pure mixture that can be subjected to salt or polymorph testing.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for screening a library of materials. Materials are provided in a plurality of locations on a substrate. The locations include first regions that are sufficiently transparent to a first form of radiation to permit analysis of the portion of the sample material supported in the first region using a first analytical technique, and second regions that are sufficiently transparent to a second form of radiation to permit analysis of a portion of the sample supported in the second region using a second analytical technique, but are insufficiently transparent to the first form of radiation to permit analysis of the portion of the sample material supported in the second region using the first analytical technique. Sample materials are screened at one or more sample locations of the substrate using the first analytical technique in the first region and the second analytical technique in the second region.
