Abstract: A layer of abstraction is provided for developing, configuring, displaying, selecting, and re-configuring connectors used through stages of predeployment, deployment, and post-deployment. A connector is created with the layer of abstraction, wherein the connector provides a first configuration of added functionality to software components for calling a web service. The connector is used to tie a step of a process-based software application to the web service. A different configuration of added functionality is provided for each of the stages of predeployment, deployment, and post deployment using the layer of abstraction.

Abstract: An example method facilitates collaborative participation in a process-based software application. The example method includes employing a process cloud integrated with a social network and document cloud to enable social network conversation-based collaboration during running of processes of the process-based software application. Hence, by integrating a social network with a process cloud, collaboration mechanisms can be created when a process starts. Process designers, i.e., process-based application designers or developers, may configure permissions for the various tasks in a process so that task participants can see some messages in the conversation but not all. As tasks are initiated and completed, automated messages may be posted to the conversation.

Abstract: An example system and method facilitates customization of and configuration of a software connector, such as a connector to an Application Programming Interface (API) or web service, in various types of computing environments, including both pre-deployment and post-deployment computing environments. A connectors framework provides a layer of abstraction between connectors maintained in the different environments and a connector editor of an application development system (which may be implemented via a server-side integrated development environment). The connector editor may provide User Interface (UI) functionality, including one or more UI controls for editing or otherwise modifying, customizing, and/or configuring connectors in pre-deployment and/or post deployment environments, which may represent or correspond to different connector and accompanying software development stages.

Abstract: A near-field communication (“NFC”) tag identifier (ID) associated with an establishment obtain by scanning an NFC tag at a location in the establishment using a wireless device of a patron is received. Login credentials associated with the patron and the wireless device are received. A location of the patron in the establishment is determined from the login credentials associated with the patron and the wireless device, and from the NFC tag ID. An available service of the establishment is communicated to the wireless device of the patron based on the login credentials associated with the patron and the wireless device, and from the NFC tag ID. The identified location is associated with exact order items so the service staff is able to keep track of an order made by the patron.

Abstract: Described are abrasive surfaces and pad conditioners that contain high precision shaped surfaces, including pad conditioners useful for conditioning a chemical-mechanical processing (CMP) pad, and related methods.

Abstract: A chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) pad conditioning assembly that includes one or more support structures positioned between one or more abrasive regions of the pad conditioning assembly is disclosed. The support structures and abrasive regions can be separated by one or more channels. A top surface of the one or more support structures is not co-planar with the top surface of the abrasive regions of the pad conditioning assembly, and the height of the top surface of the one or more support structures when measured to the pad facing surface of the pad conditioning assembly backing plate is less than the height of the top surfaces of the abrasive regions when measured to the pad facing surface of the pad conditioning assembly.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing memory built-in self-test (MBIST) area by optimizing the number of interfaces required for testing a given set of memories is provided. The method begins when memories of a same configuration are grouped together. One memory is then selected from each of the groups. MBIST insertion is then performed for a selected group of memories, and the selected group of memories contains memories of different configurations.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a method and apparatus for multi-level clock gate control for testing electronic devices. The method begins when the number of clock gate controls from root level to the last leaf level are identified and then ranked from the root to last leaf level. A number of test enable commands for testing at least one block of an electronic device are determined. These commands selectively connect and disconnect the test enable commands based on the ranked clock gate levels. The apparatus includes a chain of at least two uncompressed flip-flops with additional flip-flops added to provide multi-level clock gate control during testing. An OR gate in communication with each added flip-flop provides the logic functions to selectively connect and disconnect the test enable command A decompressor and a compressor is in communication with the chain of at flip-flops and the OR gates.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for testing an electronic device with multiple cores is provided. The method begins when at least one scan is input for scan configuring. A signal having a predetermined number of bits is then input to a decoder. The decoder then outputs at least one assigned test channel based on the output of the decoder. A test control block then switches at least one selected scan in channel to a test control block. A hard macro scan out of channels is then input to a channel maximization device which allocates or re-allocates the channels for testing. Testing proceeds once the channels are allocated. An apparatus includes a programmable scan configuration block for adjusting the number of scan out channels to maximize testing resources and a predetermined bit register in communication with the programmable scan configuration block.
