摘要： Disclosed are embodiments of an integrated circuit chip designed for reliability at low ambient temperatures. The chip substrate can be divided into zones, including at least one temperature-sensitive zone (TSZ) that contains one or more temperature-sensitive circuits. Temperature sensor(s) can be positioned in the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the TSZ. Thermal radiator(s) can be embedded in a metal wiring layer and aligned above the TSZ. The temperature sensor(s) can be operatively connected to the thermal radiator(s) and can trigger operation of the thermal radiator(s) when the temperature in the TSZ is below a predetermined threshold temperature. Additionally, an on-chip power control system can be operatively connected to the thermal radiator(s) so that operation of the thermal radiator(s) is only triggered when a circuit within the TSZ is about to be powered up. Also disclosed are associated embodiments of a system and method for designing such an integrated circuit chip.

摘要： A reconfigurable logic array (RLA) system that includes an RLA and a programmer for reprogramming the RLA on a cyclical basis. A function (F) requiring a larger amount of logic than contained in the RLA is partitioned into multiple functional blocks. The programmer contains software that partitions the RLA into a function region FR located between two storage regions SR1, SR2. The programmer then programs functional region sequentially with the functional blocks of the function so that the functional blocks process in alternating directions between the storage regions. While the programmer is reconfiguring function region with the next functional block and reconfiguring one of the storage regions for receiving the output of the next functional block, data being passed from the current functional block to the next functional block is held in the other storage region.

摘要： A reconfigurable logic array (RLA) system (104) that includes an RLA (108) and a programmer (112) for reprogramming the RLA on a cyclical basis. A function (F) requiring a larger amount of logic than contained in the RLA is partitioned into multiple functional blocks (FB1, FB2, FB3). The programmer contains software (144) that partitions the RLA into a function region FR located between two storage regions SR1, SR2. The programmer then programs functional region sequentially with the functional blocks of the function so that the functional blocks process in alternating directions between the storage regions. While the programmer is re-configuring function region with the next functional block and re-configuring one of the storage regions for receiving the output of the next functional block, data being passed from the current functional block to the next functional block is held in the other storage region.

摘要： A forward facing rowing mechanism (10) for a boat (11) having a bow (12), a longitudinal axis (A.sub.1) and both port and starboard gunwales (21). A mounting bracket (20) is adapted to be supported from each gunwale (21), and a tilting frame (25) is supported from the mounting bracket (20) for pivotal movement about an axis (A.sub.2) substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis (A.sub.1) of the boat (11). A drive sub-assembly (31.sub.x) is carried on the tilting frame (25) to be pivotal about a first angular rotational axis (A.sub.3). A driven sub-assembly (31.sub.y) is carried on the tilting frame (25) to be pivotal about a second angular rotational axis (A.sub.4). A handle (14) is secured to the drive sub-assembly (31.sub.x) for rotation about a first feathering axis (A.sub.5). A blade (18) is secured to the driven sub-assembly (31.sub.y) for rotation about a second feathering axis (A.sub.6). A first drive (83 and 84) interconnects the drive and driven sub-assemblies (31.sub.x and 31.sub.y) so that rotation of the drive sub-assembly (31.sub.x) about the first angular rotational axis (A.sub.3) effects rotation of the driven sub-assembly (31.sub.y) about the second angular rotational axis (A.sub.4). A second drive (78 and 79) interconnects the handle and blade (14 and 18) so that rotation of said handle (14) about the first feathering axis (A.sub.5) effects concomitant rotation of the blade (18) about the second feathering axis (A.sub.6).

摘要： An electric power plant, including a fossil fired boiler and a steam turbine, is operated by a control system including a plant unit master. The control system includes a boiler control for determining the inputs of fuel, air and water, and a turbine control for determining the position of the throttle valves introducing steam from the boiler to the turbine. The plant unit master provides a load demand reference in parallel to the boiler control and to the turbine control, whereby the turbine and the boiler are operated in a coordinated manner. Measuring means provide indications of throttle pressure, power generated by the system and turbine rotor speed. Distinct controllers, each including a controller and responsive to one of the aforementioned indications and its corresponding reference, modify the load demand reference before it is applied to the turbine control or to the boiler control. The above-described control system including the plant unit master, boiler control and turbine control is implemented by a single digital computer.

摘要： Disclosed are embodiments of an integrated circuit that incorporates an asynchronous circuit with a built-in self-test (BIST) architecture using a handshaking protocol for at-speed testing to detect stuck-at faults. In the embodiments, a test pattern generator applies test patterns to an asynchronous circuit and an analyzer analyzes the output test data. The handshaking protocol is achieved through the use of a single pulse generator, which applies a single pulse to the test pattern generator to force switching of the test pattern request signal and, thereby to control application of the test patterns to the asynchronous circuit and subsequent switching of the test pattern acknowledge signal. Generation of this single pulse can in turn be forced by the switching of the test pattern acknowledge signal. Optionally, a time constraint can be added to the capture of the output test data to allow for detection of delay faults.

摘要： A reconfigurable logic array (RLA) having a logic capacity and configured to process a function having a total logic requirement that exceeds the logic capacity of the RLA. The RLA includes first and second storage regions and a plurality of programmable logic elements located between the first and second storage regions. When the function is parsed into a plurality of functional blocks, this configuration allows the RLA to process the function by sequentially processing the functional blocks in alternating directions within the RLA, using the plurality of programmable logic elements to sequentially process each of the functional blocks and using the first and second storage regions to temporarily hold the input and output for that one of the functional blocks.

摘要： A combined cycle electric power plant includes gas and steam turbines and steam generators and a digital/analog control system. A gas turbine megawatt load control system is included in the control and it includes a feedforward load control which generates a fuel reference equal to the sum of a megawatt load demand and an idle speed fuel demand. The megawatt load control also includes a feedback load trimmer which provides minor corrective action on the operation of the feedforward load control. Gas turbine and combined cycle plant operation results in the generation of megawatts equal to an input demand value.
