Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a test plan, a plurality of performed steps, a configuration for a test environment in which the test was performed, and a result of the test. The processor compares the plurality of performed steps to the plurality of planned steps, compares the configuration for a first test environment and the configuration for the second test environment, and determines whether an action of the plurality of actions resulted in a failure. The processor presents a first chart, a second chart, and a third chart the results of the comparisons and determination. The processor deploys an application corresponding to the test plan if each step of the plurality of planned steps was performed during the test, if the second test environment was configured according to the configuration for the first test environment, and if the failure was fixed.

Abstract: A plasma based deposition process to deposit thin film on the inner surfaces of the shaped objects such as plastic or metallic object like bottles, hollow tubes etc. at room temperature has been developed. In present invention uniform hydrogenated amorphous carbon (also called Diamond-Like Carbon, DLC) films on inner surfaces of plastic bottles is successfully deposited. Applications of such product include entire food and drug industries. There is a huge demand of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyethylene naphthalate (PEN)) bottles, meant for the storage of potable water, carbonated soft drinks, wines, medicines etc. However, the higher cost prohibits their wide, spread use. The cheaper alternative is to use plastic bottles inside coated with chemically inert material such as Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) will be commercially viable. Inventor process can be scaled up for mass production.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to sequential state elements (SSEs). More specifically, embodiments of flip-flops are disclosed, along with computerized methods and systems of designing the same. In one embodiment, the flip-flop includes a substrate and subcircuits that are formed on the substrate. The subcircuits provide subfunctions, wherein each of the subcircuits provides at least one of the subfunctions. More specifically, the subfunctions are provided in a sequential logical order by the subcircuits so that the flip-flop provides a flip-flop function. However, the subcircuits are interleaved out of the sequential logical order with respect to a corresponding subfunction provided by each of the subcircuits along a vector defined by the substrate. In this manner, interleaving the subcircuits along the vector of the substrate can provide separation between charge collection nodes without requiring increases in size. Thus, the flip-flop can be more compact and less expensive to manufacture.

Abstract: Methods for determining a recovery state of a metal alloy are disclosed herein. In one example, a fluctuation in a crystallographic grain orientation of the metal alloy is determined by utilizing electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) data of the metal alloy. A processor of an electron backscatter diffraction machine utilizes a local orientation deviation quantifier to correlate the fluctuation in the crystallographic grain orientation of the metal alloy with a plastic strain recovery of the metal alloy. Other examples of the method are also disclosed herein.
