Abstract:
A system and method for determining circuit functionality under varying external operating conditions. One embodiment provides a circuit for a given input signal. Internal signals are generated at internal nodes for the given input signal and the next set of external operating conditions. The internal signals are compared with internal reference signals to determine whether the integrated circuit is functional under the next set of external operating conditions. If the circuit is found functional under the next set of external operating conditions, then the internal reference signals are set equal to the internal signals, the initial set of external operating conditions are set equal to the next set of external operating conditions, and the above described method is repeated.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention involve a refill apparatus comprising at least one pump, a plurality of reservoirs, a plurality of reservoir fluid channels each associated with one of the reservoirs, a plurality of valves, each having a cracking pressure, for fluidically sealing the reservoir fluid channels and the outlet fluid channel, an outlet fluid channel fluidically connected to the reservoir fluid channels, and a needle having a lumen in fluid communication with the outlet fluid channel. A parameter such as a pressure level is monitored, and one or more pumps and various ones of the valves are actuated in accordance with a protocol comprising a sequence of steps whereby fluidic pathways are opened between different ones of the reservoirs and the needle in a washing and filling sequence, each of the steps being associated with an expected pressure level.

Abstract:
This invention relates to novel compositions comprising regioselectively substituted cellulose esters. One aspect of the invention relates to processes for preparing regioselectively substituted cellulose esters from cellulose dissolved in ionic liquids. Another aspect of the invention relates to the utility of regioselectively substituted cellulose esters in applications such as protective and compensation films for liquid crystalline displays.
