Abstract: A memory array test and characterization capability is disclosed which allows DC characterization of the memory cells, the bit lines, and the sense amplifiers. A row decoder is provided which includes a static wordline select signal to disable self-resetting logic within the row decoder and allow the word line to remain active for a user-controlled length of time. An analog wordline drive capability allows the active wordline to be driven to a user-controllable analog level. Direct access to a pair of bitlines is provided by a multiplexer which is statically decoded to couple a pair of isolated terminals to the respective bitlines within the decoded column. This allows DC voltage levels to be impressed upon each of the two bitlines within the decoded column and/or the two bitline currents to be sensed. A separate power connection is provided for the memory array which allows operating the memory array at a different power supply voltage than the remainder of the circuit. By utilizing one or more of these features together, several tests of the memory array may be performed, including characterizing the DC transfer function of the memory cells, the standby power of the memory array, the static noise margin of the memory cells, the alpha particle susceptibility of the memory cells as a function of memory cell supply voltage, the offset voltage of bitline sense amplifiers, and others.

Abstract: Representing a number of assets on an originating computer begins with selecting the assets to be represented (102). Cryptographic hash asset identifiers are generated (104); each of the asset identifiers is computed using the contents of a particular asset. The asset identifier is a content-based or content-addressable asset name for the asset and is location independent. An asset list is generated that includes the asset identifiers computed from the assets (106). A cryptographic hash asset list identifier is generated that is computed from the asset list (108). The asset list identifier is stored for later retrieval. The assets selected are also stored for safekeeping either locally or on a computer network. In the event of loss of the files from the originating computer, the asset list identifier is retrieved (302). Using the asset list identifier, the original asset list is found and retrieved from its safe location (306). The asset identifiers from the retrieved asset list are used to find and retrieve the individual assets from their backup locations (314, 316). The assets are verified by recomputing the cryptographic hash asset identifier for each asset retrieved and comparing it to the asset identifier from the asset list (316). The MD5 algorithm is used for the cryptographic hash function. Assets are retrieved using a multicast protocol (402). A series of importer programs (702-710) searches for assets to retrieve in progressively more remote locations. Assets are retrieved whole or in segments (606).

Abstract: A method for preparing a silica supported, alpha-olefin polymerization catalyst includes the steps of treating a silica support with an organosilane compound, contacting the silylated silica support with a transition metal compound to form an intermediate, then contacting the resulting intermediate with an alkylmagnesium alkoxide to form the catalyst. The transition metal compound is either a metal chloride or a metal chloroalkoxide, and the transition metal is selected from titanium, vanadium, and zirconium. The alkylmagnesium alkoxide may be selected from butylethylmagnesium butoxide, butylethylmagnesium 2-ethylhexoxide, butyloctylmagnesium ethoxide, or butylmagnesium propoxide. The process steps may be carried out in the presence of an aliphatic organic solvent, such as heptane, with a slurry of solids in the solvent being formed during the process steps. Catalysts produced by this process, during which the alkylmagnesium alkoxide contacts the reacting components after the transition metal compound is applied, have higher activities when compared with catalysts prepared by known processes under similar conditions.
