  • Publication number: 20250067802
    Abstract: On-chip testing of a superconductive integrated circuit device includes receiving a superconductive circuit design having superconductive logic elements. Further, a first testability characteristic for first test circuitry at a first node within the superconductive circuit design is determined. The first testability characteristic corresponds to one or more of a test generation control level and a test observability control level. An updated superconductive circuit design from the superconductive circuit design is generated based on the first testability characteristic for the first test circuitry. The superconductive circuit design includes the first test circuitry at the first node.

  • Patent number: 5756053
    Abstract: A method for treating cooking fumes to oxidize oxidizeable particulate and gaseous components thereof includes contacting the fumes with a catalytic material containing ceria and alumina each having a BET surface of at least about 10 m.sup.2 /g, for example, ceria and activated alumina in a weight ratio of from about 1.5:1 and 1:1.5 and a BET surface area of from about 25 m.sup.2 /g to 200 m.sup.2 /g. Optionally, a catalytic metal component such as platinum or palladium may be included in the catalytic material. The foodstuffs cooking fumes are contacted with the catalyst composition (22 or 40) at a temperature of 200.degree. C. to 600.degree. C. to promote the oxidation of both particulate (atomized) animal and/or vegetable oils and fats and oxidizeable gas phase components of the fumes. Optionally, a separate, supplemental gas phase oxidation catalyst (42) may be used in conjunction with and downstream of the above-described catalyst (40) to provide a two-catalyst system for treating cooking fumes.
