Abstract: A method includes storing a base model generated using base data and receiving training data generated by compiling circuit designs. The method also includes generating, using the training data, a tuned model and generating, using the training data and the base data, a hybrid model. The method further includes receiving a selected cost function and biasing the base model, the tuned model, and the hybrid model using the selected cost function.

Abstract: A method includes generating a netlist for a circuit design and predicting, by applying a first machine learning model to the netlist, a first compile time for the circuit design. The method also includes predicting, by applying a second machine learning model to the netlist, a first place and route strategy based on the first compile time. The method further includes adjusting a logic of the circuit design in accordance with the first place and route strategy.

Abstract: Use of benzoquinones and derivatives or salts thereof as the only oxidant in agents for oxidative treatment of hair, and agent containing at least one o-benzoquinone, and a method for permanent shaping of hair by use of such agents. The hair thus treated shows uniform and permanent transformation and no brightening.

Abstract: In order to obtain sheets made of a nickel-based superalloy of type 718 having properties of superplasticity, the sheets are manufactured with a final cycle comprising the steps of: a) solution treatment at 1060° C. for 15 minutes; b) precipitation at 730° C. to 800° C. for 1 to 2 hours; c) cold rolling at a ratio greater than 60%, and d) recrystallization at 900° C. for 30 minutes. Superplastic deformation of such sheets is carried out at about 970±10° C. and under pressures inducing stresses between 45 and 60 MPa.

Abstract: A bilge cleaner dispenser and method of dispensing liquid bilge cleaner is provided that continuously dispenses a preselected amount of bilge cleaner over time into a bilge. A flow regulator is attached to the standard external threads of the mouth opening of a conventional container of bilge cleaner such that when the container is turned in an orientation that allows liquid flow by gravity, the liquid bilge cleaner drips out of the flow regulator into the bilge at a predetermined rate over time. The conventional container of liquid bilge cleaner is removably attached to a rigid support member. The support member is attachable to a rigid frame such as a suitable location of a boat, and maintains the container of bilge cleaner in an orientation such that the bilge cleaner drips out of the flow regulator directly into the boat's bilge at a predetermined rate.

Abstract: A dynamic insulation wall element for use in a building to improve in natural manner the comfort of the building with respect to temperature, sound level, air flow, and humidity, the element being constituted by a composite plate having at least one layer made of a thermally insulating material that is provided with spacers on at least one of its faces, the spacers defining an air passage in at least two directions parallel to the plate for causing air to enter and flow within the building, wherein the composite plate further includes a layer that is strong and hydrophilic and that is disposed against the spacers of the layer of thermally insulating material.

Abstract: The filter comprises a body (10) defining a chamber (101) to which access is had through an opening (102) closed by a cover (103). The chamber is adapted to receive a filtering cartridge (20). The body (10) is made in two semi-shells (110, 120) which are united in a junction plane (100) extending across the chamber (101), the opening (102) for the passage of the filtering cartridge (20) being astride the junction plane (100). A positioning device (30) for the filtering cartridge is carried by the body (10) to permit the insertion or the removal of the cartridge (20) by a movement in translation in a direction substantially parallel to the junction plane (100) and the positioning and the retraction of the cartridge by a displacement in a direction substantially perpendicular to the junction plane (100). Application in automotive vehicle engines.

Abstract: The air inlet neck, in particular for the air admission system in an internal combustion engine, comprises a mixing chamber (10) into which open a cold air admission pipe (4) and a hot air admission pipe (14). The mixing chamber (10) communicates with an outlet pipe (15) for the air of the mixing chamber. One of said pipes (4) is coaxial with the mixing chamber (10) and includes closing means constituted by flaps (5) pivotally connected to the admission pipe (4) and actuated by a cylindrical member (9) mounted to be movable between a position of complete closure of the admission pipe (4) by the flaps (5) and a position for retracting the flaps. The cylindrical member (9) constitutes means for closing the other admission pipe (14).
