Appl. No.:

09/573806

Inventors:

Brian A. Day - Colorado Springs CO
Coralyn S. Gauvin - Colorado Springs CO

Assignee:

LSI Logic Corporation - Milpitas CA

International Classification:

G06F 1750

US Classification:

716 8, 716 2, 716 3, 716 4, 716510, 716 14, 716 16, 716 13, 716 18, 370474, 714 45, 714724, 326 41, 703 14

Abstract:

A method for defining electrical components enables a layout tool to include functionally extraneous cells in an integrated circuit design without significant adverse impact to the operation of the logically functional cells. The method defines the description of a first functionally extraneous cell for a layout tool so an initial layout of the die produced by the layout tool does not functionally couple the first functionally extraneous cell to a second functionally extraneous cell. The description of the functionally extraneous cell is altered so that the layout tool produces a second layout of the die that functionally couples the first and second functionally extraneous cells without altering the position of the second functionally extraneous cell with respect to a logically functional cell. The description of the functionally extraneous cell complies with the description constraints for cells. However, by describing the functionally extraneous cell so that it is first lacks a functional coupling to another extraneously functional cell and then changing the description to functionally couple the two cells, the position of the second functional cell with respect to a functional cell remains unchanged.

A61K 5104

US Classification:

514183, 514410, 540145

Abstract:

The present invention relates, in general, to a method of modulating physiological and pathological processes and, in particular, to a method of modulating cellular levels of oxidants and thereby processes in which such oxidants are a participant. The invention also relates to compounds and compositions suitable for use in such methods. Compounds of the invention include those of Formula I.

Appl. No.:

09/991063

Inventors:

Brian A. Day - Colorado Springs CO

Assignee:

LSI Logic Corporation - Milpitas CA

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

710104, 710313, 711 4

Abstract:

When a specific pair of devices are selected or reselected for communications across a SCSI bus, a hardware state machine in each device restores the communication parameters that have been previously negotiated for this pair of devices. This prevents the devices from wasting bus time for the restoration.

International Classification:

C12Q001/34

US Classification:

435 18, 424 92

Abstract:

The present application describes methods for the testing of compounds of potential usefulness as therapeutic antioxidants and/or as therapeutic free radical scavengers. The animal model for testing such compounds is the Sod2CJE homozygous Manganese Superoxide Dismutase-deficient mouse. When pups of these mice are treated with certain antioxidants, they survive past about 7 days of age, and later develop characteristic histological changes and characteristic neurobehavioral disorders. Those treated mice can be further treated with test compounds which may or may not cross the blood brain barrier, and the life span and physical and neurobehavioral characteristics of those mice provide information about the potential utility of the test compound as a therapeutic antioxidant. Phenotypes of the treated mice allow conclusions regarding targeted areas of the brain and thus, applications to particular disorders such as Parkinsonism.

US Classification:

710107, 710112, 710240

Abstract:

In a computer system, a bus adapter processes bus operation information structures for performing bus operations by automatically starting processing each bus operation information structure after completing processing the previous bus operation information structure. A processor forms the bus operation information structures and sets control over each bus operation information structure to a sequencer for processing. When a next bus operation information structure is ready for processing after completing processing the previous bus operation information structure, the sequencer checks whether it has control over the next bus operation information structure, and if so, begins processing the next bus operation information structure without being instructed to do so by the processor.
