Abstract: A system for processing powder includes a process tube connected to load lock chamber via a vacuum valve. The load lock chamber includes first and second stations. Each of the first and second stations is configured to receive a barrel containing powder to be treated. A mechanical transfer mechanism is configured to: move a barrel containing powder to be treated from the first station into the process tube; move a barrel containing powder to be treated from the second station into the process tube; move a barrel containing treated powder from the process tube to the first station; and move a barrel containing treated powder from the process tube to the second station.

Abstract: Methods and systems for performing dose regimen modification are provided. The methods and systems perform operations comprising: receiving prescription related data for treating a patient with an expected level of efficacy, the prescription related data comprising medication regimen information including dose and interval; determining, using a model, a first amount of drug waste based on the prescription related data; comparing the first amount of drug waste to a threshold value; and in response to determining that the first amount of drug waste transgresses the threshold value, identifying an alternate medication regimen that is associated with a treatment having a given level of efficacy corresponding to the expected level of efficacy, the alternate medication regimen being associated with a second amount of drug waste that is lower than the first amount of drug waste; and triggering a notification associated with the alternate medication regimen.

Abstract: A quadratic surface grate cover for a swimming pool including a hyperbolic paraboloid shaped frame having front side, a back side, a top side that runs parallel to a bottom side and two non-parallel ends that connect the top and bottom sides. The quadratic surface grate includes at least four trapezoid-shaped vented portions positioned within and across the frame so that the frame and the trapezoid-shaped portions flex in a concave direction between the two non-parallel ends and a convex direction between the two parallel sides.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to multi-cycle signal identification for static timing analysis. An aspect includes identifying, in a circuit under test, a multi-cycle signal, the multi-cycle signal having a longer period than a main clock signal of the circuit under test. Another aspect includes mapping a plurality of additional signals of the circuit under test onto the multi-cycle signal, the plurality of additional signals each having a shorter period than the multi-cycle signal. Yet another aspect includes performing static timing analysis of the circuit under test based on the multi-cycle signal.

Abstract: A skylight system including a support frame and an apex patch fitting that together support a plurality of glass pieces joined together in a selectable shape. The support frame includes a sill and a setting chair that are arranged to support the base portions of the glass pieces. The apex patch fitting may be of selectable shape and includes an upper and lower member to retain the peaks or corners of the glass therebetween. The apex patch fitting includes one or more positioning keys to align and secure the glass pieces. A method of making the skylights includes the use of an apex retainer tool to maintain the apex patch fitting in a fixed position while placing glass pieces on it. Multiple apex patch fittings can be used for a skylight, including a skylight that is ridge shaped or hipped ridge shape.

Abstract: Methods and systems for determining timing constraint analysis of an integrated circuit (IC) may include defining a sequence of sample points for timing constraint analysis of an n×n matrix, each sample point corresponding to a timing arc of the IC that includes data and reference slews; initially simulating extreme sample points of the matrix, according to the sequence, by substituting timing constraints from liberty files of the IC type for time values of the data slews and conducting a binary search for optimized timing constraints; and interpolating other sample points, according to the sequence, each of the other sample points having a starting bisection point that results from linear interpolation of the timing constraint analysis from adjoining sample points, which were simulated.

Abstract: A statistical single library that includes on-chip variation (OCV) is created for timing and power analysis of a digital chip design. Initially, library values for all cells of a digital chip design, including ranges for environmental and process parameters, are subject to a statistical model to create statistical timing for the ranges of the parameters. A statistical timing tool is applied across the ranges of the parameters to determine statistical corners for delay and input power to a subset of cells. The statistically determined delay and input power to the subset of cells is entered into the statistical single library. Each delay of each statistical corner for the subset of cells is compared with a chip sign-off statistical delay requirement of a test macro.
