Abstract: In one embodiment, a memory control process of a device receives a plurality of program/erase (P/E) requests for a flash memory of the device. The memory control process then stores data associated with the plurality of P/E requests in a random access memory (RAM) of the device, and aggregates the plurality of P/E requests into a single P/E operation. The memory control process may then send the single P/E operation to the flash memory at a given interval to update the flash memory with the data stored in the RAM.

Abstract: This invention discloses devices and methods for high throughput skin sensitization detection. The devices comprise a microfabricated chamber comprising a region having one or more input channels and an outlet, and a face suitable for mounting a skin tissue and in fluidic communication with the region. The devices can be used in the methods for determining a prognosis of sensitization in an animal subject and identifying compounds that do not cause sensitization and thus are suitable for preparing cosmetic compositions.

Abstract: Methods and devices to screen test compounds, e.g., study metabolism of test compounds, e.g., a pro-drug, by one cell, e.g., a hepatocyte, and the effect of metabolism of the test compound by the first cell on a second cell, e.g., a cancer cell, are described.

Abstract: A chair-back mountable garment hanger has a main supporting body; at least one fastening element configured to attach the supporting body to a seat back, and a hanger element supported by the supporting body. In one configuration, the main supporting body has a pair laterally extending wings, and a back adapted to lie against a back surface of a seat back. Mounting hooks are coupled to respective laterally extending wings, and are configured to be hooked over the seat back to thereby hang the main supporting body from the seat back. A hanger element, formed of a single piece of wire, defines a pair of garment shoulder support portions and a pair of downwardly extending support members which slidably engage with, and extend from a top edge of, the main support body, whereby the hanger element is vertically adjustable relative to the main support body.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for servicing massive interrupts in random access memory (RAM) are provided, comprising receiving a massive interrupt signal, and reading at least one unit interrupt register in a first RAM area in response to the massive interrupt signal. A set unit interrupt bit corresponds to an address in a second RAM area. Interrupt status registers are read at the corresponding address in the second RAM area in response to the set unit interrupt bit. A set interrupt status bit corresponds to an address in a third RAM area. Interrupt cause bits are read at the corresponding address in the third RAM area in response to the set interrupt status bit, and detailed information is obtained about the interrupt. The interrupt is serviced in accordance with the detailed information.
