New insecticidal proteins, nucleotides, peptides, their expression in plants, methods of producing the peptides, new processes, production techniques, new peptides, new formulations, new organisms, and a process which increases the insecticidal peptide production yield from yeast expression systems. The present invention is also related to novel cell culture methods and conditions that can be used to express heterologous polypeptides, along with new transgenic yeast strains.

The back-scratching and washing device for use in a shower includes a base that attaches to a smooth surface for use within a shower and features a plurality of interchangeable parts that attach to the base to perform a plurality of uniquely different skin engaging services. The interchangeable parts comprise rubber nodules, Loofahs, spring-loaded scrubbers, and bristled nodules. All of the interchangeable parts attach to the base via a spring pin located on a back of said part that engages one of an array of holes located on a front of said base. The device can be used to engage any part of a body, but is chiefly used for the back and hard to reach areas of said body. An array of suction cups located on a back of the base ensure secure attachment of the device to a smooth surface during engagement by an end user.

An integrated circuit (IC) including a warranty and enforcement system, and a related design structure and HDL design structure are disclosed. In one embodiment, an IC includes a parameter obtainer for obtaining a value of a parameter of the IC; a warranty data storage system for storing warranty limit data regarding the IC; a comparator for determining whether a warranty limit has been exceeded by comparing the value of the parameter to a corresponding warranty limit; and an action taker for taking a prescribed action in response to the warranty limit being exceeded.

Warranty monitoring and enforcement for integrated circuit and related design structure

A method configures a plurality of circuit elements for execution of an application in a first configuration. The method monitors the execution of the application on the plurality of circuit elements to produce monitoring information, using a computerized device, and stores the monitoring information in a storage structure. The method selectively communicates the monitoring information to an external element separate from the computerized device. The external element transforms the first configuration into a second configuration based on the monitoring information. The computerized device receives the second configuration from the external element and reconfigures the plurality of elements into the second configuration.

Dynamically reconfigurable self-monitoring circuit

Disclosed is a system-on-chip (SOC) structure that allows for automated integration of multiple intellectual cores. The SOC structure incorporates a plurality of cells connected to a common bus on a chip. Each cell incorporates a functional core and an automated integration unit (AIU) connected to the functional core. Each AIU communicates integration information for its functional core over the common bus to the AIUs in the other cells. The exchange of information between the AIUs is controlled either by the integration units themselves or by a controller. Based on received integration information, each AIU can automatically make any required configuration adjustments for integration. Furthermore, based on this exchange of information, the functional cores can interact, as necessary, during SOC operation. Also disclosed are an associated method of forming such a SOC structure and a design structure for such an SOC structure.
