Abstract: A method for use in the hierarchical design of integrated circuits having at least one module, each the module having functional memory elements and combinational logic, the method comprising reading in a description of the circuit; replacing the description of each functional memory element of the modules with a description of a scannable memory element configurable in scan mode and capture mode; partitioning each module into an internal partition and a peripheral partition by converting the description of selected scannable memory elements into a description of peripheral scannable memory elements which are configurable in an internal test mode, an external test mode and a normal operation mode; modifying the description of modules in the circuit description so as to arrange the memory elements into scan chains in which peripheral and internal scannable memory elements of each module are controlled by an associated module test controller when configured in internal test mode; and peripheral scannable memory

Abstract: A flowable material delivering vehicle in combination with a material dispensing system including a fixed conveyor extending continuously from a position located adjacent a vehicle container outlet aperture to a position located adjacent a vehicle cab front end. A dispensing adapter is attached to the vehicle for receiving a portion of the flowable material when the latter emanates from the fixed conveyor. In one embodiment, the dispensing adapter includes a pivotable conveyor pivotally attached to the vehicle and a configuring mechanism. The configuring mechanism allows the pivotable conveyor to pivot between a stowed configuration wherein it lies in a generally proximal and parallel relationship relative to an edge of the vehicle and a working configuration wherein the pivotable conveyor extends away from the vehicle so as to allow discharging of the flowable material away from the vehicle.
