A device and method supporting the identification and correction of firmware and / or software errors is described. Upon the occurrence of a firmware / software error or exception, an embodiment in accordance with the present invention may gather parameters for identifying the error or exception, and the execution environment in which the error occurred, and may communicate the parameters or an identifier to a server, to retrieve update information for correcting the firmware / software error or exception. The execution environment may be single or multi-threaded, and may be a java virtual machine. The device may restart / reboot during the update process, and may log an error if update information is not available to correct the error or exception. The device may communicate the error log information to the server via the communication network. The communication network may be a wireless network.

The present invention relates to a self-repairing type grid drive circuit. The self-sepairing type grid drive circuit includes a plurality of cascaded GOA units, wherein the n-th stage GOA unit comprises a pull-up control circuit (100), a pull-up circuit (200), a download circuit (300), a pull-down circuit (400), a bootstrap capacitor (500), a first pull-down holding circuit (600), a second pull-down holding circuit (700), and a bridge circuit (800). The bridge circuit (800) comprises a first thin film transistor (T55), wherein a grid electrode is connected to the grid signal point (Q (N)), a drain electrode and a source electrode are respectively connected to a first circuit point (K (N)) and a second circuit point (P (N)). When operating, the first circuit point (K (N)) and the second circuit point (P (N)) are alternately arrange on a high potential. The self-repairing type grid drive circuit of the present invention can reduce the failure risk of the pull-down holding circuit caused by a long time operation of production process or GOA circuit, thereby realizing the self-repairing function of the circuit.

A method or system for supporting a computer systems self repair, including the computer executed steps for booting from a first boot device, and booting from a second boot device in response to a signal indicating a need for repair. While booted from the second boot device the computer system is capable of repairing software on the first boot device. The signal may effect a logical or physical switch. Repairing software may be performed in part by copying BIOS, template, backup or archive software from a device other than the first boot device. Repairing software may be performed automatically without direction by a user or according to preset preferences.

A system for self-repairing matrices such as concrete or cementitous matrices, polymeric matrices, and / or fibrous matrices, including laminates thereof. The system includes repair agents retained in and / or on vessels, such as hollow fibers, within the matrix. Upon impact, the vessel rupture, releasing the chemicals. For multi-layer laminates, the systems provides a total dynamic energetic circulation system that functions as an in situ fluidic system in at least one layer or area. The energy from the impact ruptures the vessels to release the chemical(s), and mixes the chemical(s) and pushes the chemical(s) and / or resulting compound through the matrix. The repair agents can withstand high temperatures, such as the heat of processing of many laminates, e.g., 250-350° F.

Multiple processor cores are implemented on a single integrated circuit chip, each having its own respective shareable functional units, which are preferably floating point units. A failure of a shareable unit in one processor causes that processor to share the corresponding unit in another processor on the same chip. Preferably, a functional unit is shared on a cycle interleaved basis.
