Subtleties of advanced fabrication processes and nano-scale phenomena associated with integrated circuit miniaturization have exposed the insufficiencies of design rules. Such inadequacies have adverse impact on all parts of the integrated circuit creation flow where design rules are used. In addition, segregation of the various layout data modification steps required for deep sub-micrometer manufacturing are resulting in slack and inefficiencies. This invention describes methods to improve integrated circuit creation via the use of a unified model of fabrication processes and circuit elements that can complement or replace design rules. By capturing the interdependence among fabrication processes and circuit elements, the unified model enables efficient layout generation, resulting in better integrated circuits.

The present invention provides a mobile application ecosystem comprising a mobile application development kit and store, both of which are implemented as web-based services such that creation, testing, and distribution of mobile applications, as well as discovery, investigation, and delivery of same, can all be performed using a standard web browser. The mobile application development kit offers common capabilities across all target mobile device brand and brand groups, allowing the same application construct to work unmodified on all, while building the application in a manner that is native to each, thereby avoiding any requirement to embed a separate common runtime or virtual machine on every mobile device.

Methods and computer-readable media for designing a wiring harness assembly are provided. Wiring data is automatically extracted from wiring harness installation models for a plurality of zones of the system. Wiring connections between the wiring harness installation models are reconciled. At least one wiring harness assembly model is automatically generated from the wiring harness data extracted from the wiring harness installation models.

The present invention discloses an asymmetric PCR amplification method, its special primer and application, aims to provide a simple, effective PCR amplification for preparation of single-stranded product. The asymmetric PCR primer of the invention comprises some PCR primer pairs, in which an unrelated nucleic acids sequence to target sequence to be detected is added onto 5′-terminal of one primer. The asymmetric PCR amplification provided includes the steps: 1) preparative denaturing; 2) repetitiously denaturing, primers annealing, extending cycles as the first stage of PCR amplification; 3) repetitiously denaturing, primer extending cycles as the second stage of PCR amplification, wherein an unrelated nucleic acids sequence to target sequence to be detected is added onto 5′-terminal of one PCR primer of each pair in extension. With the asymmetric PCR amplification of the invention, high throughput of single-stranded products can be obtained, single PCR amplification or multiple PCR amplification can be carried out. And the method can be widely used in detection of nucleic acids.

An automated synthesizer is disclosed in which the reaction wells are moved by a carrier into alignment with stationary fluid delivery stations that are in communication with a source of reactants and / or wash solutions. In an alternate embodiment the delivery stations are moved into alignment with stationary reaction wells. A method for synthesizing chemical compounds employing the synthesizer is disclosed.

A sending node (405) is adapted for communication with several receiving nodes (410, 420) by transmitting information in the form of a regular data packet to at least one intended receiving nodes, said sending node comprising -means to receive, identify and store a priori information in feedback from receiving nodes (410, 420); -means (905) for forming a composite data packet from at least two regular data packets, said means arranged to use a priori information from said a priori information storage module (910) and to determine which multiple individual data packets to retrieve from a buffer module (920) for use in the composite data packet, said means being arranged to form a composite data packet from which the intended receiving node for each of the at least two regular packets can decode the composite packet to obtain at least one packet intended for it.
