A device that fits on a person's finger to reduce the effect, appearance, and/or sensitivity of a scar. The device includes a therapeutic material such as a therapeutic cream that can be released upon the application of heat such as frictional heat generated during use of the device. The device can also be used as an applicator to distribute and work therapeutic material into the scar after the therapeutic material has been placed directly onto the scar tissue. A method of manufacturing the device includes mixing the therapeutic material, a moldable material, and an optional curing agent to form a compound material, molding the compound material, heating the compound material or the molded structure, and curing the molded structure. Alternatively, the curing agent can be absorbed into the cured structure.

A hand therapy kit includes hand therapy modules and a housing having defined receptacles in which the hand therapy modules are removably disposed. A module presence sensor is disposed in each receptacle to detect the presence or absence of the corresponding hand therapy module. A microprocessor disposed in the hand therapy kit sends the module presence sensor data to a remote computer that analyzes the module presence sensor data to determine whether the patient is complying with a prescribed treatment regimen. The remote computer can generate warnings, alerts, and/or notifications when noncompliance is detected.

A hand therapy kit includes a housing having a lid that is expandable from a folded position to an unfolded position to expose a working surface on an inside of the lid. An elastic cord is attached at two or more anchor points on the working surface to define at least one gap for receiving a finger. The finger can be therapeutically exercised by moving from a first position proximal to the working surface to a second position distal to the working surface. The hand therapy kit can also include removable hand therapy modules, including a therapeutic tracking glove and/or a pressure sensor ball.

A synchronous memory device is provided in which a timing and control circuit (28) receives timing and control inputs. A row address buffer (38) and row decoders (40 and 42) operate to enable rows in plural memory sections (30, 32, 34, and 36). Column decoders (58, 60, 62, and 64) operate to enable columns in each of the memory sections (respectively, 32, 36, 30 and 34). The column decoders (58, 60, 62, and 64) decode addresses received from counters (respectively 52, 54, 48, and 50), an adder (46), and a latch (56). Counters (48, 50, 52, and 54) and adder (46) generate column addresses for each memory section based on a starting address, thereby allowing for internal operation at less than the external system frequency. Furthermore, an input buffer (100) is provided that allows data input to the memory device to be received at the system frequency. Once data for each memory section has been received, a substantially simultaneous write operation is performed to each unmasked memory section.

A method and apparatus for testing the self-refresh operation of a dynamic memory part are provided in which an oscillator (140) is coupled to a self-refresh counter (142). The self-refresh counter (142) causes a refresh row address counter (144) to generate row addresses for self-refresh cycles. The refresh row address counter (144) is coupled to a self-refresh control circuit (148). The self-refresh control circuit (148) is operable to generate a signal indicating completion of a self-refresh cycle. The refresh row address counter (144) is also coupled to a multiplexer (146). The multiplexer (146) outputs row addresses from either the refresh row address counter (144) or those supplied externally for rows to be refreshed.

Method and apparatus for production testing of self-refresh operations

A DRAM furnishes power management circuits that remove power from circuits on the DRAM that are not necessary for self-refresh and that turn on and off other circuits necessary for self-refresh in timed relation to the refresh cycle. The power management circuits include a counter and simple decoder circuits that decode the binary output of the counter.

DRAM power management with self-refresh

A 1M.times.2 parity DRAM is salvaged from a defective 1M.times.4 parity DRAM having two or less unrepairable memory quadrants. Circuits are designed so 'any' combination of 2 good quadrants can be accessed as a result of fuse blowing and steering logic which is controlled by the fuse signals.
