RIOT: a simple graphical assembly tool

Errors in the chip assembly process are harder to find than errors in cell design, since they belong to no specific part of the design, but rather to the assembly as a whole. Assembly errors are more costly than call design errors also, since they often go unnoticed until late in the design cycle. Interactive graphic tools typically require that assembly be done with primitive graphical operations, which are inappropriate far the assembly task. Language-based tools give more powerful assembly operations, but remove the two dimensional view of the chip necessary to visualize many assembly operations. Riot is a simple Interactive graphical tool designed to facilitate the assembly of cells into integrated systems. Riot supplies the user with primitive operations of connection -- abutment, routing and stretching - in an interactive graphic environment. Thus, the designer retains full control of the design, including the assignment of positions to instances of cells and the choice of connection mechanism. The computer takes care of the tedious and exacting implementation detail, guaranteeing that connections are actually made. The powerful connection primitives give the user of Riot the ability to quickly assemble a custom chip from a collection of low-level cells. This document provides a discussion of the motivation for Riot and a description of the Riot chip assembly system, its capabilities and its use

Business-School Partnerships in Career and Technical Education

ABSTRACT BUSINESS-SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS IN CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION by Michael E. Trimberger Jr. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2019 Under the Supervision of Professor Dr. Elise Frattura Public education in Wisconsin has come under harsh political scrutiny in recent years. Schools have been asked to reduce budgets and use the tools provided through legislative changes. The reduction of budgets has not come with a reduction of expectations for our schools. Since 2011, high school principals have been forced to implement Academic Career Plans and ensure that every student graduate college and career ready along with their already comprehensive list of requirements. This study aims to research how some business leaders and school leaders have chosen to answer these new pressures by working together to build partnerships. The research has two primary research questions and five subquestions: What are the organizational impacts of business-school partnerships? a. What are the factors and conditions that contribute to developing business-school partnerships? b. What constitutes an unsuccessful from a successful partnership? c. By using the interview process to attain the knowledge, skills, disposition, and resources, how can studied business-school partnerships inform future endeavors? What are the educational impacts of business-school partnerships? a. How do partnerships influence the teaching and learning process? b. How do partnerships impact students? The results from this study present opportunities for future practice, future research, and implications on current practice, for both business and educational professionals

Conception Rate in Dairy Cattle by Artificial Insemination at Various Stages of Estrus

A breeding experiment with 295 dairy cows and heifers of the Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire, and Holstein breeds was conducted in the University of Nebraska dairy herd. The females were given artificial services at various stages of estrus to determine the effect of time of service upon conception. The results obtained indicate the potential benefits in higher percentage of conception in females bred during the middle of estrus, toward the end of estrus, and those bred in full heat and rebred in 24 hours. The latter is usually not very practical, especially in artificial breeding rings, but there are occasions when it may be desirable to follow this procedure. The results also show that a good rate of conception is obtained in females bred as late as six hours after the end of estrus. The low rates of conception in experimental groups bred long after the end of estrus indicate that it is seldom practical to breed females later than six hours after estrus ends. Statistical treatment of the data verified these conclusions

A Comparison of MOS PLAs

This paper discusses Pl.A designs in three MOS technologies: NMOS, CMOS/SOS and CMOS-Bulk. The purpose of this paper is not to introduce a new and exciting PLA design, nor is it to recommend one fabrication technology over another. Its purpose is to use PLAs as a standard, hopefully familiar layout strategy so that new designers can get a better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of all three technologies from a designer's viewpoint. It is hoped that this paper will provide more data to those who must select a technology for their integrated circuit fabrication
