Abstract:
An integrated circuit for locating failure process layers. The circuit has a substrate with a scan chain disposed therein, having scan cells connected to form a series chain. Each connection is formed according to a layout constraint of a minimum dimension provided by design rules for an assigned routing layer. Since the connection in the assigned routing layer is constrained to a minimum, the scan chain is vulnerable to variations in processes relevant to the assigned routing layer. The scan chain makes it easier to locate processes causing low yield rate of the scan chain.

Abstract:
A mounting assembly includes a mounting bracket (10) having a side panel (14), and a clip (40) attached on the side panel. A pair of through holes (18) is defined in the side panel. The clip includes a press portion (42), and a pair of palms (48) on opposite sides of the press portion. Each palm has barbs (49) extending toward the press portion. When the press portion is inwardly pressed, the clip elastically deforms, the palms move away from each other, and the palms extend through the through holes to be received in corresponding locking holes (32) defined in a corresponding data storage device (30). The barbs firmly engage with the storage device at the locking holes, thereby securing the storage device in the mounting bracket. When the press portion is inwardly pressed again, the storage device is unlocked from the mounting bracket.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for navigating a media program via a searchable transcript of the dialog of the media program is disclosed. In one embodiment, a textural transcript of the dialog is generated, wherein the textural transcript comprising a plurality of portions wherein each portion is associated with a segment of the media program, a command is accepted to display the transcript and in response to that command, user interface data is transmitted to the client computer for presentation in a user interface, wherein the user interface comprising a concurrently presented media program player and the textural transcript.
Abstract:
The invention provides a naturally occurring strain of Lactobacillus crispatus with advantageous characteristics. The strain colonizes mucosal surfaces, particularly vaginal surfaces. The strain is also capable of rapid growth in a number of conditions and is highly viable after desiccation. Moreover, the strain is capable of preventing and reducing pathogenic infection of vaginal mucosa.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus and article of manufacture for providing supplemental video content for third party websites is disclosed. In one embodiment, coded instructions are transmitted from a content enhancement server to a host server, for incorporation into the webpage source code. The host server is controlled by a first entity and the content enhancement server is controlled by a second entity commercially distinct from the first entity. Keywords are obtained by executing of the coded instructions in the webpage received in the client computer from the host server to send the address of the requested webpage to the content enhancement server, which generates supplemental substantive video content information for transmission to the client.
Abstract:
A method for producing an array a thin-film solar cell with a cell level integrated bypass diode, the includes forming at least three series-connected solar cells; totally separating a bypass diode from a selected parent solar cell; connecting the semiconducting material of the first type of the photovoltaic junction layer of the bypass diode with the semiconducting material of the second type of any one chosen solar cell in the array; and connecting the semiconducting material of the second type of the photovoltaic junction layer of the bypass diode with the semiconducting material of the first type of any other chosen solar cell in the array so that the bypass diode is connected in parallel and in opposition to both the one chosen solar cell and the other chosen solar cell.
Abstract:
An array of at least three series-connected solar cells has a cell level integrated bypass diode formed by total separation from a selected parent cell. The material of the first type of the diode is connected to the material of the second type of any one chosen solar cell in the array. The material of the second type of the diode is connected with the material of the first type of the one chosen solar cell in the array so that the diode is connected in parallel and in opposition to the one chosen solar cell.
