20090172819 | Method and Apparatus for Implementing Logic Security Feature for Disabling Integrated Circuit Test Ports Ability to Scanout Data - A method and apparatus for implementing integrated circuit security features are provided to selectively disable testability features on an integrated circuit chip. A test disable logic circuit receives a test enable signal and responsive to the test enable signal set for a test mode, establishes a test mode and disables ASIC signals. Responsive to the test enable signal not being set, the ASIC signals are enabled for a functional mode and the testability features on the integrated circuit chip are disabled. When the functional mode is enabled, the test disable logic circuit prevents the test mode from being established while the integrated circuit chip is powered up. | 07-02-2009 |

An integrated circuit (IC) chip includes off-chip Controlled Collapse Chip Connection (C4) nodes and a driver and a receiver of the off-chip receiver and driver input/output (I/O) circuits connected to respective off-chip C4 nodes. Through Silicon Vias (TSVs) are added to the connections of the driver and the receiver and the respective off-chip C4 nodes to a backside of the IC chip. A metal wire is added to the IC chip backside connecting the TSVs and creating a connection path between the driver and the receiver that is used for the at-speed WFT testing of the I/O circuits. | 10-28-2010 |
20120124541 | IMPLEMENTING SPARE LATCH PLACEMENT QUALITY DETERMINATION - A method, system and computer program product are provided for implementing spare latch placement quality (SLPQ) determination in a floor plan design of an integrated circuit chip. A spare latch placement quality (SLPQ) metric data function is defined and compared to a spare latch placement input with a series of calculations performed. The spare latch placement quality (SLPQ) determination is made based upon the compared SLPQ metric data function and the spare latch placement input. Then associated reports including textual and visual reports are generated responsive to the SLPQ determination. In addition, a new spare latch placement can be constructed with an algorithm responsive to the SLPQ determination. | 05-17-2012 |

20090206201 | AIRPLANE WITH COLLAPSIBLE CREW REST COMPARTMENT MODULES - An improved crew rest area for a freighter airplane. The crew rest structure extends into the stay out zone between the crew or supernumerary accommodations and cargo areas and has one of more collapsible or crushable structures. The collapsible structures allow the areas in the stay out zones to collapse or be displaced when subjected to crash loads without impinging on the crew or supernumerary seating areas. The collapsible wall members or panels can be hinged, slidable, bendable in an accordion-type manner, or the like. | 08-20-2009 |

20090145539 | REMOVABLE ADHESIVE TAPE - A removable adhesive tape comprising a highly extensible and substantially inelastic backing and a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive. The backing has a high tensile strength, has a lengthwise elongation at break of at least about 150% with less than about 50% elastic recovery after stretching. The adhesive can be a normally tacky and pressure-sensitive adhesive and is coated on at least one surface of the film backing. The adhesive is preferably highly extensible, does not separate from the backing during stretching, and has higher cohesion than adhesion to any suitable substrate. After being applied to a substrate, the adhesive tape of the present invention becomes firmly bonded, but can be easily removed without damaging the substrate by simply stretching it in a direction substantially parallel, i.e., less than about 35°, to the surface of the substrate. | 06-11-2009 |
