Abstract: A container and cold plate combination that keeps liquids cold includes a pitcher made from a pitcher housing material, or having outside and/or inside metallic liners that are integral to the pitcher bottom which is metallic and configured to be in direct surface contact with an underlying cold plate of a cold plate station system. The cold plate lowers the temperature of the metallic liners or pitcher housing and the cold is transferred to a liquid in the container.

Abstract: A container and cold plate combination that keeps liquids cold includes an upstanding hollow post that defines in one embodiment an upstanding cavity having an open end at the lowermost end of the container. A hollow insert is inserted into the hollow post and locked therein. The hollow insert is in sufficient surface contact with the hollow post interior and a bottom surface of the hollow insert is in contact with a cold plate. In another embodiment, the pitcher does not include the hollow post but rather the hollow insert is mounted and interlocked directly to the pitcher bottom so as to extend a predetermined distance upwardly into the interior of the pitcher and its bottom is in contact with the cold plate. The cold plate lowers the temperature of the post and insert and the cold is transferred to a liquid in the container.

Abstract: A system and method for masking a boot sequence by providing a dummy processor are provided. With the system and method, one of the processors of a multiprocessor system is chosen to be a boot processor. The other processors of the multiprocessor system execute masking code that generates electromagnetic and/or thermal signatures that mask the electromagnetic and/or thermal signatures of the actual boot processor. The execution of the masking code on the non-boot processors preferably generates electromagnetic and/or thermal signatures that approximate the signatures of the actual boot code execution on the boot processor. One of the non-boot processors is selected to execute masking code that is different from the other masking code sequence to thereby generate a electromagnetic and/or thermal signature that appears to be unique from an external monitoring perspective.

Abstract: A system and method for test generation for system level verification using parallel algorithms are provided. The present invention generates test patterns for system level tests by exploiting the scalability of parallel algorithms while allowing for data set coloring and expected result checking. Based on the characteristics of the system being tested an iterative parallel algorithm is selected from a plurality of possible parallel algorithms. The selected parallel algorithm is then separated into separate program statements for execution by a plurality of processors. A serial version of the selected algorithm is executed to generate a set of expected results. The devised parallel version of the selected algorithm is then run to generate a set of test result data which is compared to the set of expected results. If the two sets of data match, it is determined that the system is operating correctly.

Abstract: Systems, methods and media for content-based search processing are disclosed. In one embodiment, a database is organized according to keywords. Data corresponding to keywords is searched to produce search results within the context of the keywords input by a user. The search results are analyzed to determine features of the data. A feature may be determined by identifying data with common traits. Data is then organized into categories according to the traits. The search results produce information and features of the data that a user may not have thought of but would find useful.

Abstract: Hardware logic for generating breakpoint signals (basic events) based on state changes in observed (“tagged”) hardware resource of a design under test is automatically generated and added to the simulation model of the design under test. A switch/network is included in the model for mapping basic events to complex breakpoint logic. Complex breakpoints combine basic events to form more complex breakpoints that can be selectively enabled/disabled by the simulation user. In one embodiment, user settable values are compared with complex breakpoint values to further define a complex breakpoint.
