Abstract: The present disclosure relates to defining and processing hardware description language (HDL) groups. Embodiments may include mapping, using a processor, a set of tool-specific objects into a group graph with one or more groups. Embodiments may also include generating a search order associated with each group. The search order associated with each group may be based upon the hierarchical design configuration of the group graph. Embodiments may further include identifying undefined references from within a first group within the group graph and binding defined references from within the first group to electronic circuit design components. Embodiments may include identifying the undefined references from within a second group within the group graph. The second group may be selected based upon the undefined references and the search order associated with the first group.

Abstract: A clamping device has an actuator that moves linearly and is actuated by a drive. A pivoting clamping element is operatively connected, via a toggle lever mechanism, with the actuator. The toggle lever mechanism includes a drive-side adapter and a hand lever-side adapter. The drive side adapter and hand lever side adapter can be adjusted relative to one another to define an opening angle of the clamping element. One of the adapters has a profiled bar extending in a direction of actuation. The other adapter has an insertion region to accommodate the bar. A fixing element is provided in one of the adaptors to define the location of the adapters relative to one another. The fixing element can be clamped against the profiled bar and also against an insertion region.

Abstract: An actuating device has an actuating element connected in a rotationally-fixed manner to a shaft. The shaft is mounted so that it is rotatable in the housing. The actuating element is pivotable using a hand lever connected to the shaft. The hand lever is formed from an attachment element connected to the shaft and an elongated handle element fastened on the attachment element. The handle element is fastenable at different positions on a front side of the attachment element. The front side of the attachment element is oriented perpendicularly to a main axial direction of the shaft.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for a data storage device, such as a hard disk drive or solid state drive, that may be initially formatted to an initial capacity. The data storage device may continue to be formatted to add additional capacity to the device. In some examples, a data storage device may be shipped from a factory having an initial capacity, with formatting completed in the field. According to certain examples, the additional capacity may be provided to a user of the data storage device upon satisfaction of one or more conditions. For example, a user may purchase additional capacity, upon which the data storage device may be instructed to provide the additional capacity for use by the user.
