Abstract:
A first conductive contact connecting a first electrode of an inspection circuit board and one external electrode of a semiconductor integrated circuit is arranged in a fixed member. A second conductive contact connecting a second electrode of a wiring board and the other external electrode of the semiconductor integrated circuit is arranged in a movable member. A third conductive contact connecting one third electrode of the inspection circuit board and the other third electrode of the wiring board is arranged in the movable member. The other third electrode is connected to the second electrode. When the movable member moves to the contacting position, the second conductive contact makes contact with the other external electrode, and the third conductive contact makes contact with the one third electrode.
Abstract:
The present invention is a method for integrating multiple object codes from heterogeneous architectures. For a program on a first processor to reference a program from the name space of a second processor, the object code for the second-processor program is enclosed in a wrapper to create object code in the first-processor name space. The header of the wrapped object code defines a new symbol in the name space of the first processor, and the symbol points to the second-processor object code contained in the wrapped object code. Instead of directly referencing the second-processor object code, the referencing program on the first processor references the wrapped object code. A system tool can be used to wrap the object code which runs on the second processor.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and apparatus for transferring and storing data among processors and memory in a multiprocessor system. The data is compressed locally before it is sent to a shared memory. The memory stores the data in its compressed state, but the data is aligned in the memory in the same manner as uncompressed data would be. A tag table keeps track of the compression type and compressed data size for a set of data at a given address block. A data compressor and a data expander may be implemented in a direct memory access controller accessible to multiple coprocessors, or the compressor and the expander may be implemented within the coprocessors.

The present invention provides a method for preventing or treating a diabetes, which includes administering 2,2-dichloro-12-(4-chlorophenyl)-dodecanoic acid or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, and metformin to a patient suffering from or having a possibility of suffering from diabetes.
Abstract:
The present invention provides apparatus and methods to perform thermal management in a computing environment. Thermal attributes are associated with operations and/or processing components. The components have thermal thresholds that should not be exceeded. In a preferred embodiment, an operation can be transferred from one component to another component if the thermal threshold is exceeded during execution by the first component.
Abstract:
The present invention provides apparatus and methods to perform thermal management in a computing environment. In one embodiment, thermal attributes are associated with operations and/or processing components, and the operations are scheduled for processing by the components so that a thermal threshold is not exceeded. In another embodiment, hot and cool queues are provided for selected operations, and the processing components can select operations from the appropriate queue so that the thermal threshold is not exceeded.

It is one object of the present invention to form a conventional mesh as a sample in order to efficiently generate a high-quality mesh for a predetermined shape model.A mesh generation system 10 for generating a mesh used for finite element analysis comprises: a mesh characteristic extraction unit 11 for receiving a conventional mesh and extracting a characteristic therefrom; and a mesh generator 13 for receiving a target shape model for mesh generation, and for generating a mesh for the shape model based on the characteristic of the conventional mesh extracted by the mesh characteristic extraction unit 11.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of producing a target material of a Mo alloy, which includes the steps of (a) preparing a green compact by compressing a raw material powder blend consisting of a Mo powder having an average particle size of not more than 20 μm and a transition metal powder having an average particle size of not more than 500 μm; (b) pulverizing the green compact to produce a secondary powder having an average particle size of from not less than an average particle size of the raw material powder blend to not more than 10 mm; (c) filling the secondary powder into a container for pressurizing; and (d) subjecting the secondary powder with the container for pressurizing to sintering under pressure thereby obtaining a sintered body of the target material.
