Abstract: A blind opening is formed in a bottom surface of a semiconductor substrate to define a thin membrane suspended from a substrate frame. The thin membrane has a topside surface and a bottomside surface. A stress structure is mounted to one of the topside surface or bottomside surface of the thin membrane. The stress structure induces a bending of the thin membrane which defines a normal state for the thin membrane. Piezoresistors are supported by the thin membrane. In response to an applied pressure, the thin membrane is bent away from the normal state and a change in resistance of the piezoresistors is indicative of the applied pressure.

Abstract: Plugins that are independently written are executed in a collaborative manner to analysis a log. A plugin executing with respect to a particular node of a hierarchical data structure determines values for a set of keys based on information of the particular node and/or any ancestor nodes, and information stored in a shared repository. The plugin stores the values for the keys as additional information of the particular hierarchical node and/or into the shared repository. The plugin does not access information of non-ancestor nodes when executing with respect to the particular hierarchical node. Each plugin writes into and retrieves from the shared repository using the shared naming convention, thereby sharing information. The sequence of execution of the plugins is not dependent on dependencies amongst the plugins. If a dependent plugin requiring an output from a requisite plugin is first executed, the dependent plugin is flagged as pending and subsequently re-executed.
