Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080287943TREATMENT APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR INDUCING MICROBURN PATTERNS IN TISSUE - Treatment apparatus and methods for inducing microburn patterns in tissue. The treatment apparatus comprises a delivery device positionable adjacent to the tissue and a plurality of energy-transfer elements. The energy-transfer elements are adapted to contact the skin surface over discrete surface contact areas and transfer energy to the tissue for forming damaged regions in the form of microburns at a corresponding plurality of locations in the tissue. Energy may be transferred between the energy-transfer elements and the tissue by either electrical conduction or thermal conduction. Adjacent microburns are separated by non-damaged regions, which promotes wound healing and efficacy.11-20-2008

20090118722METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COOLING SUBCUTANEOUS LIPID-RICH CELLS OR TISSUE - A system for reducing subcutaneous lipid-rich cells or tissue of a subject is disclosed. The system may include a fluid supply, a probe in fluid communication with the fluid supply, and a coolant circulated between the fluid supply and the probe. The probe may be configured to be inserted into the subject to be at least proximate to the subcutaneous lipid rich cells. The coolant may be at a temperature such that the subcutaneous lipid-rich cells or tissue proximate to the inserted probe are cooled.05-07-2009

20110099527DYNAMICALLY RECONFIGURABLE SELF-MONITORING CIRCUIT - A method configures a plurality of circuit elements for execution of an application in a first configuration. The method monitors the execution of the application on the plurality of circuit elements to produce monitoring information, using a computerized device, and stores the monitoring information in a storage structure. The method selectively communicates the monitoring information to an external element separate from the computerized device. The external element transforms the first configuration into a second configuration based on the monitoring information. The computerized device receives the second configuration from the external element and reconfigures the plurality of elements into the second configuration.04-28-2011

20090210746GENERATING TEST COVERAGE BIN BASED ON SIMULATION RESULT - A solution for generating functional coverage bins for testing a device is disclosed. A method includes: receiving information of a failing test generated from a random simulation performed on the device; tracing a first sequence of signal events that happened in the failing test; correlating the signal events to coverage bins to generate a sequence of coverage bins; creating cross coverage event sequence bins based on the sequence of coverage bins; and outputting the created coverage event sequence bins for testing the device.08-20-2009
20090291533System-On-Chip (SOC), Design Structure and Method - Disclosed is a system-on-chip (SOC) structure that allows for automated integration of multiple intellectual cores. The SOC structure incorporates a plurality of cells connected to a common bus on a chip. Each cell incorporates a functional core and an automated integration unit (AIU) connected to the functional core. Each AIU communicates integration information for its functional core over the common bus to the AIUs in the other cells. The exchange of information between the AIUs is controlled either by the integration units themselves or by a controller. Based on received integration information, each AIU can automatically make any required configuration adjustments for integration. Furthermore, based on this exchange of information, the functional cores can interact, as necessary, during SOC operation. Also disclosed are an associated method of forming such a SOC structure and a design structure for such an SOC structure.11-26-2009

20120126836MICROELECTROMECHANICAL STRUCTURE (MEMS) MONITORING - A MEMS component is monitored to determine its status. Sensors are deployed to sense the MEMS component and produce detection signals that are analyzed to determine the MEMS component state. An indicator device alerts a user of the status, particularly if the MEMS component has failed. Additionally, the MEMS component monitoring system may be practiced as a design structure encoded on computer readable storage media as part of a circuit design system.05-24-2012
