Home > Press > Presto Engineering and CEA-Leti to Develop Test and Analysis Capability for 3D Semiconductor Devices
Presto Engineering Inc., a pioneer of the labless business model for bringing semiconductor products into volume production, and CEA-Leti today announced that they have begun a three-year collaboration to develop test and analysis capability for 3D semiconductor devices.
The project, a common lab that will include Presto's new R&D center at CEA-Leti, will focus on extending the company's test, reliability and failure analysis solutions to through-silicon vias (TSVs), the interconnects between levels on 3D devices.
"IDMs and fabless companies are increasingly outsourcing critical test and analysis functions. The adoption of 3D technologies will fuel this trend and product engineering will require new skills, reliable processes and specialized equipment," said Michel Villemain, CEO of Presto Engineering. "CEA-Leti has industry-leading expertise in 3D integration, advanced interconnects and TSVs, and by working side by side with CEA-Leti's experts, Presto will build on our proven product engineering capabilities for the arrival of TSVs."
Presto's R&D program with CEA-Leti is focused on:
· Characterization of TSVs reliability, defect susceptibility and electrical performance aspects
· Identifying existing test protocols that are appropriate for 3D structures while developing new ones to meet new challenges, and
· Bringing up new diagnostic methods or tools to identify root cause of failures
The common lab will make the ATE and debug process as well as the product engineering platform available for third parties.
"This partnership with Presto is a natural complement to CEA-Leti's many 3D integration projects and joint labs," said Laurent Malier, CEO of CEA-Leti. "We will identify the key challenges of 3D product engineering, so semiconductor manufacturers will have reliable, state-of-the-art test and analysis options when they are ready to go to market with 3D devices that feature TSVs."
In addition to its broad goals, the joint lab will enable Presto to develop critical test and analysis techniques, such as probing specific areas of TSVs without affecting the device itself.
"Testing 3D-IC prototypes will require detecting, recognizing and understanding the failure modes, and mechanisms through their electrical signature," said Cédric Mayor, R&D director for Presto Engineering Europe, a subsidiary of Presto Engineering Inc. "Faulty TSVs may have many root causes that have to be investigated and catalogued in such a way that our ultimate test program and diagnostic tool detect them efficiently."
Presto, which recently opened a hub in Caen, France, offers enhanced RF and 3D-integration expertise and advanced test, reliability, fault-isolation and failure-analysis services. Its Design Success Analysis™ offering includes first-silicon validation, as well as characterization of new processes, new designs, and process transfers.
About Presto Engineering
Presto Engineering introduced the labless business model to the semiconductor industry in 2007 when it acquired Cypress Semiconductor's product-engineering lab. The company helps IDMs and fabless customers improve new device predictability and speed to market by complementing their internal resources with comprehensive chip test and analysis. Supported by unique technical skills and extensive industry experience, Presto's product-engineering services include RF and 3D integration and state-of-the-art ATE, reliability testing, failure analysis and fault isolation. The company recently expanded into Europe by acquiring lab infrastructure of NXP Semiconductor in Caen, France, and establishing a subsidiary Presto Engineering Europe. Presto Engineering, an ISO 9001 company, is based in San Jose, Calif. Additional information is available on the company's website at www.presto-eng.com.

The Hard Richards
As a rule, beware of bands euphemistically named for boners. In the case of the Hard Richards, though, we'll grant a pass, because these old-school Boynton Beach boys bash out straight-ahead ska punk without any wink-wink wanksterism. That doesn't mean, however, that the Richards aren't lewd, crude, and loud. It's just that cuts like "Freedom," "Sex," and "Drinking Time" deliver a no-bullshit sound with just the right amount of aggro juvenilia, horn section cronk, and sing-along snottiness. Founded way back in 1994 as a trio, the band has naturally experienced some membership realignment over the course of its 16-year history. Since its 1996 debut disc, On the Move, two of three founding members have departed. These days, in addition to O.G. frontman Steve A. on vocals and guitar, the Richards feature five other players: bassist Iiro, guitarist Matt K., drummer Evan, and John B. sucking the sax, plus official rude boy Alex R. But, old or new, you don't know the Hard Richards until you've seen them live, so go (re)experience the "pure fucking energy, circle pits, and bloody fists" when these dicks stroke it for a full house at Propaganda.

Did you know that January is National Meat Month? Well it is, and it allows us to take a look at the amount of meat we eat, and also provides us with an excuse for eating even more than usual.
And while the leftovers from the holiday roasts are beginning to lose their luster in the back of the refrigerator, no excuse is needed to head to your favorite steakhouse or cook up a nice T-bone and raise a glass to this month dedicated to meat.
Although it may seem like Americans take the prize for consumption of everything, we actually take second place in terms of meat consumed worldwide; that award goes to Luxembourg, of all places. Here are some more interesting meat-related facts, courtesy of NPR:
· What it takes to make a quarter-pound hamburger:
o 6.7 pounds of feed
o 52.8 gallons of water
o 74.5 square feet of land
o 1,036 BTUs of energy (for feed production and transport, enough to power a microwave for 18 minutes)
· There are currently about 30 million head of cattle in the U.S., up from 12.5 million in 1920 but down from 45 million in the 1970s.
· The U.S. is producing more beef now than in the '70s, however, because each cow now produces nearly 800 pounds of meat, up almost 200 pounds from 40 years ago.
· In 1909, total U.S. meat consumption was 9.8 billion pounds. Now it's up to 52 billion pounds, which is actually a decrease from recent years.
· The average human eats 102.5 pounds of meat per year. Luxembourg consumes the most meat per person, at 301.4 pounds, and in India the least amount of meat, 7.1 pounds per person, is eaten. The U.S. comes in second place with 270.0 pounds per person consumed.
· In terms of the type of meat consumed, beef and pork were tied through the 1950s, and beef became the dominant protein up until the early 2000s. Chicken overtook it as the most consumed meat just a couple of years ago.

Varnishing and preserving watercolors with beeswax
Watercolor Finishing, Varnishing and Preservation using beeswax. WAX VARNISH Wax varnish is a matt varnish based on purified beeswax. It can be applied to Oil or Acrylic paintings and is removable with mineral turps. The varnish has a waxy consistency and is rubbed on, then buffed to the required sheen with a clean cloth. Beeswax based varnish is extremely stable and non yellowing. I also like to use bees wax varnish on large watercolor paintings to avoid using glass or acrylic glazing.

Should she really be giving style tips? Fashion Police's Kelly Osbourne clashes purple hair with garish orange trousers
As a panellist on E!'s Fashion Police she can often be seen criticising the ensembles of many celebrities.
But Kelly Osbourne surely committed a style crime on Wednesday as she turned up to an appearance on the Today Show.
The 28-year-old was in New York City to discuss the upcoming Grammy Awards red carpet this weekend.
Scroll down to view video...
Clashing clothing: Kelly Osbourne visits the Today Show in Rockefeller Plaza on Wednesday
However she seemed somewhat under qualified as she chose an interesting look which wasn't exactly complementary.
Kelly stepped out in bright orange wide-leg trousers with a green Chanel bag and thanks to her purple hair, looked slightly Charlie and the Chocolate Factory themed.
The star even had her tresses styled in the untrendy curled bob that the Oompa Loopa characters don, her face shiny and somewhat tinted orange due to and unflattering foundation or too much fake tan.
Does this complement my purple hair? She wore a black jacket, bright orange trousers and a green Chanel bag
Quirky fashionista: Kelly signed autographs for fans before the recording
She covered up in a black coat and quirky sunglasses outside the Rockerfeller Center but revealed a black shirt with gold chain lining inside the studio.
Kelly revealed to presenters Kathie Lee and Hoda that she was especially excited about this weekend's ceremony because it's 'more fun' and agreed 'nobody plays it safe.'
After praising her co-host Joan Rivers' fashion sense throughout her career, saying 'she dressed incredibly,' she named who she was most looking forward to ogling at the Grammy Awards 2013.
Grammy predictions: She chatted ot presenter Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb
Excited for the big day: She is looking forward to seeing Adele and Rihanna
She said: 'Adele is so classic. She has found her token style, and is so eloquent as well as elegant.'
Kelly added that Rihanna 'can go from her Caribbean/ East London street style to couture and be mind- blowing.'
Although admitting that she is a Kerry Washington fan because she can 'pull off so many trends at once and still make it work,' all while being 'really nice,' she says she would still tell someone she likes if they looked bad.
She concluded: 'I tell them the truth. I would want someone to tell me just like if I had boogie in my nose I would want someone to tell me.'
Following the appearance she tweeted alongside a snap of them all: 'Thank you @klandhoda I had so much fun with you ladies this morning!!!'
Thanks ladies! She tweeted a picture of her outside inside the studio

Firms fear shift in software buying
Relevant offers
Government procurement changes make it more likely departments will buy overseas payroll and human resources software despite evidence that it is cheaper to buy locally and the problems caused by the Novopay debacle, an Auckland software firm says.
AMS chief executive Noel Reid said he feared government moves to streamline procurement would result in contracts being "bulked up" and handed to overseas giants such as SAP and Oracle.
He raised his concerns as departmental chief executives prepared to gather at a Beehive event this evening for what is understood to be an important meeting on ICT strategy, and amid accusations that some agencies were too readily seeking advice from "overseas experts" before they prepared technology tenders.
AMS employs 40 staff and its software is used to pay about a quarter of the public service, including half of public sector healthcare workers.
Reid said he feared that as the Government sought to streamline procurement by negotiating all-of-government contracts with a reduced number of technology suppliers, it might package up payroll and HR with finance, favouring multinationals such as SAP and Oracle that offered a combined solution. "If the big guys win the financials, they tend to want to take the whole lot," he said.
"There is a lot of merit behind all-of-government purchasing but generally when requirements are 'bulked up' they tend to buy foreign."
There were other factors at play that tended to favour large overseas suppliers and give them early access to customers before tenders were released, he said.
"Quite understandably [government agencies] like to talk to the big multinationals about world trends and we can't have those sorts of conversations.
"Multinationals could use that as an opportunity to wheel in their best salesmen from all around the world."
Paul Ramsay, a spokesman for NZRise, an industry body that lobbies on behalf of domestic IT firms, agreed pre-tender discussions were an issue.
However, Candace Kinser, chief executive of fellow industry body NZICT, on which multinationals are better represented, said controls on such conversations risked creating a "bureaucratic labyrinth".
She pointed out that some multinationals, such as IBM, were "offshoring" jobs to New Zealand. "We could suffer a much greater impact if they started withdrawing," she said.
All-of-Govt contracts could hit local suppliers
At least half of the IT firms and individual consultants carrying out work for the Government could be "shut out and forced to leave town" if the Government botches plans to establish "all-of-government" consulting contracts, a Wellington company boss says.
The Business, Innovation and Employment Ministry has issued a "request for information" that heralds significant changes to the way departments buy advice from consultants on matters such as information technology, finance, business matters, health and property and construction.
Paul Ramsay, a spokesman for information technology industry body NZRise, said that could cover consulting contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars a year. "It is just about everything under the Sun."
The ministry said the Government wanted to put in place arrangements that would help agencies work out what "level of quality" they were getting and whether suppliers were providing value for money.
Options included encouraging agencies to buy only from a panel of pre-approved consultants under centrally negotiated terms, or some other form of "pre-qualification".
One consultancy owner said closed supplier panels were "market killers" and out of odds with an approach being taken in Australia that instead favoured accrediting consultants if they met minimum standards set by the government.
Ramsay said NZRise shared those concerns and was talking to counterparts in other industries that might be affected by the changes. Government efforts to better co-ordinate procurement were positive from a taxpayer's viewpoint, but the question was "not what, but how", he said.
NZRise believed adopting the same procurement practices used to buy "commodity" products such as computers and cars might not make sense when buying services that were "creative and intellectual".
If the Government established supplier panels, they needed to be open, so new businesses could join, he said.
The ministry appeared unsure of its destination and there was an element of "making it up as we go along", he said. "They have to be mindful of what the broader outcome is. It is about delivering cost savings and efficiencies to government which we all support, but they have to make sure it is not detrimental to the industry as a whole."

Transcript of "Complementary and Alternative Medicine - 2 (Additional PLUS Reading Materials)"
1. !Are You Considering CAM?For thousands of Americans, health care includes some form ofcomplementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Like any decisionconcerning your health, decisions about whether to use CAM areimportant. The National Center for Complementary and AlternativeMedicine (NCCAM) has developed this fact sheet to assist you inyour decision making about CAM. It includes frequently askedquestions, issues to consider, and sources for further information.Key Points! Take charge of your health by being an informed consumer. Find out and consider what scientific studies have been done on the safety and effectiveness of the CAM therapy that interests you. Discuss the information with your health care provider before making a decision.! If you decide to use a CAM therapy provided by a practitioner, such as acupuncture or chiropractic, choose the practitioner with care.! If you decide to use a dietary supplement, such as an herbal product, find out about any potential side effects or interactions with medications or other dietary supplements you may be taking.! Tell all your health care providers about any complementary and alternative practices you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.What is CAM?CAM is a group of diverse medical and health care systems,practices, and products that are not generally considered part ofconventional medicine. Conventional medicine is medicine aspracticed by holders of M.D. (medical doctor) or D.O. (doctor ofosteopathy) degrees and by their allied health professionals, such asphysical therapists, psychologists, and registered nurses. Integrativemedicine combines conventional and CAM treatments for whichthere is evidence of safety and effectiveness. !
!How can I get reliable information about a CAM therapy?It is important to learn what scientific studies have discovered about the CAM therapy you areconsidering. Making a decision based on the facts is a better idea than using a therapy simplybecause of something you have seen in an advertisement or on a Web site or because someonehas told you that it worked for them. (For tips on how to evaluate Web site information, seethe NCCAM fact sheet Evaluating Web-Based Health Resources.)Understanding a therapy's potential benefits, risks, and scientific evidence is critical to yourhealth and safety. Scientific research on many CAM therapies is relatively new, so this kind ofinformation may not be available for every therapy. However, many studies are under way,including those that NCCAM supports, and knowledge and understanding of CAM areincreasing all the time. Here are some ways to find reliable information:! Talk with your doctor or other health care providers. Tell them about the therapy you are considering and ask any questions you may have about safety, effectiveness, or interactions with medications (prescription or nonprescription) or other dietary supplements. They may know about the therapy and be able to advise you on its safety and use.! Visit the NCCAM Web site (nccam.nih.gov). The "Health Information" page has information on specific CAM therapies, and links to other online sources of information. It also has contact information for the NCCAM Clearinghouse, where information specialists are available to assist you in searching the peer-reviewed literature and to suggest useful NCCAM publications.! Visit your local library or a medical library. Ask the reference librarian to help you find books and scientific journals with information on the therapy that interests you.Are CAM therapies safe? How can I minimize risks in usingCAM therapies?As with any medical treatment, there can be risks with CAM therapies. These risks depend onthe specific therapy. Each CAM therapy needs to be considered on its own. However, if you areconsidering a CAM therapy, the following general suggestions can help you think about safetyand minimize risks.! Take charge of your health by being an informed consumer. Find out what the scientific evidence is about any therapy's safety and whether it works.! Be aware that individuals respond differently to treatments, whether conventional or CAM. How a person might respond to a CAM therapy depends on many things, including the person's state of health, how the therapy is used, or the person's belief in the therapy.! Keep in mind that "natural" does not necessarily mean "safe." (Think of mushrooms that grow in the wild: some are safe to eat, while others are not.)! Learn about factors that affect safety. For a CAM therapy that is administered by a practitioner, these factors include the training, skill, and experience of the practitioner. For a CAM product such as a dietary supplement, the specific ingredients and the quality of the manufacturing process are important factors. 2
!! If you decide to use a CAM therapy that would be given by a practitioner, choose the practitioner carefully.! If you decide to use a dietary supplement, such as an herbal product, be aware that some products may interact with medications (prescription or over-the-counter) or other dietary supplements, and some may have side effects on their own. (To learn more, see the NCCAM fact sheet Using Dietary Supplements Wisely.)! Tell all your health care providers about any complementary and alternative practices you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care. For tips about talking with your health care providers about CAM, see NCCAM's Time To Talk campaign at nccam.nih.gov/timetotalk/.How can I determine whether statements made about theeffectiveness of a CAM therapy are true?Statements that manufacturers and providers of CAM therapies may make about effectivenessand benefits can sound reasonable and promising. However, the statements may not bebacked up by scientific evidence. Before you begin using a CAM therapy, it is a good idea to askthe following questions:! Is there scientific evidence (not just personal stories) to back up the statements?! Does the Federal Government have anything to report about the therapy? o Visit the NCCAM Web site or contact the NCCAM Clearinghouse to see if NCCAM has information about the therapy. o Visit the FDA online at www.fda.gov to see if there is any information available about the product or practice. Information specifically about dietary supplements can be found on FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Web site, at www.cfsan.fda.gov. Or visit the FDA's Web page on recalls and safety alerts at www.fda.gov/opacom/7alerts.html. o Check with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at www.ftc.gov to see if there are any enforcement actions for deceptive advertising regarding the therapy. Also, visit the site's Diet, Health, and Fitness Consumer Information section at www.ftc.gov/bcp/menus/consumer/health.shtm.! How does the provider or manufacturer describe the therapy? o Question terms like "scientific breakthrough," "miracle cure," "secret ingredient," or "ancient remedy." o If you encounter claims of a "quick fix" that departs from previous research, keep in mind that science usually advances over time by small steps, slowly building toward an evidence base. o Remember: if it sounds too good to be true—for example, claims that a therapy can cure a disease or works for a wide variety of ailments—it usually is. 3
!Are CAM therapies tested to see if they work?While some scientific evidence exists regarding the effectiveness of some CAM therapies, formost there are key questions that are yet to be answered through well-designed scientificstudies—questions such as how the therapies work, and whether they work for the diseases ormedical conditions for which they are used. As the Federal Government's lead agency forscientific research on CAM, NCCAM supports studies to answer these questions and determinewho might benefit most from the use of specific therapies.I am interested in a CAM therapy that involves treatment from apractitioner. How do I go about selecting a practitioner?Your health care provider or local hospital may be able to recommend a practitioner. Theprofessional organization for the type of practitioner you are seeking may have helpfulinformation, such as licensing and training requirements. Many states have regulatory agencies orlicensing boards for certain types of practitioners; they may be able to help you locate practitionersin your area. For more suggestions, see the NCCAM fact sheet Selecting a CAM Practitioner.Can I receive treatment or a referral to a practitioner from NCCAM?NCCAM does not provide CAM treatments or referrals to practitioners. NCCAM's mission is toexplore CAM practices using rigorous scientific methods and build an evidence base for thesafety and effectiveness of these practices.Can I participate in a CAM clinical trial?NCCAM supports clinical trials (research studies in people) on CAM therapies. Clinical trials onCAM are taking place in many locations worldwide, and study participants are needed. Tolearn more, see the NCCAM fact sheet Clinical Trials and CAM. To find trials that are recruitingparticipants, go to the Web site nccam.nih.gov/research/clinicaltrials. You can search this siteby type of therapy or by disease or condition. If you do not have access to the Internet, contactthe NCCAM Clearinghouse for information.For More InformationNCCAM ClearinghouseThe NCCAM Clearinghouse provides information on CAM and NCCAM, including publicationsand searches of Federal databases of scientific and medical literature.

MAGNIFICENT CRESCENT COFFEE TABLE SET Gina from Cincinnati, OH on 03/10/2015 – Verified Buyer
I have ordered off line for furniture before, but these tables went over an above my expectations! Easy to assemble and they are well worth the price. I ordered the tables with the black tempered glass and they look great with my black leather couch! Extremely sturdy and look very high end. I have been pricing coffee tables for about 2 months. Better than any department store price and value. Very happy with this purchase!

I'll definitely be returning to purchase more items!

The biggest problem with the concept of 'Ghostbusters 3' is the fact that 'Ghostbusters' still very much exists and is pretty much perfect.

And Now the Real Carmageddon Hits the 405
Albert Valles / Flickr
If you think the 405 just got a little more Camageddon-like this week, you're right.
In fact, if you'll recall, Carmageddon was the weekend 405 closure in 2011 that turned out to be a dud. People far and wide avoided the area, and traffic was fine. But if you shut down the Sunset Boulevard off-ramp from the northbound 405 in Bel Air, all hell breaks loose:
According to traffic data app maker INRIX, the four-month ramp closure that started Friday night really had its impact during the Monday morning commute:
By 8 a.m. traffic was backed up from Sunset to the 10 freeway, and it took 12 minutes to go four miles. That compares to less than five minutes for four miles the previous Monday, the firm says.
The time to get from Bundy Avenue, one exit to the west of the 405, to the north-south freeway was a whopping eight minutes at 8:30 a.m. yesterday, says INRIX.
It gets worse. INRIX notes that once public schools spark up and UCLA students return to campus in September, traffic in the area will increase by 25 percent.
INRIX's suggestions? Leave early, of course. Avoid Sunset Boulevard. Carpool. Pray. (OK, that last one's ours.)
Jamie Holter, INRIX traffic analyst:
L.A. drivers are hard-core. We don't expect drivers to make any changes in their habits until traffic backs up to the 91. ... Once school starts, this commute will get really tough, really fast.
Like we said, pray.

Shadow Of The Dead Lyrics
Artist: Anti-Flag
Album: The Bright Lights Of America
tonight, tonight, tonight...
i'm gonna stay awake.
safe inside this trojan horse until day breaks.
open it up, tear it up, fuck it up...
in the streets runs a river knee deep.
hidden in the blood of our own lies the alphabet of the free.
as i walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead, will you remember them?
Ce soir, ce soir, ce soir. Je vais rester éveillé.
there is no extinguishing the resistance you betray.
the marquis, zapatista, white rose.
can we see the end of a battle unheard?
for every name in history there are a thousand more interred.
and i can't believe my own eyes. i've seen this sight 100 times.
we will be sovereign in the water / in the shadow of the dead.
still no one remembers them.
we will be free in the cold of the shadow of the dead.
oh, you will remember then.
as i walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead, will you remember them?

(Amherst, MA) — Police are crediting rainy weather for a relatively quiet weekend at UMass Amherst. Traditionally the last weekend in April is marked by huge parties. This year there were only three arrests and only a handful of medical calls involving intoxicated people, according to "MassLive." First responders had prepared for the worst, after March's Blarney Blowout where drunken partiers threw rocks and bottles at police in riot gear.

Energy Efficiency Plays Key Role in Achieving Modern American Energy Economy through EPA's Clean Power Plan
"Through its fundamental commitment to flexibility, local choice, and cost-effectiveness, the Clean Power Plan sets the stage for a market-based transformation of the U.S. power sector that promises to help secure the nation's prosperity for decades to come.

Today's announcement of EPA's Clean Power Plan is a positive step towards ensuring that the American economy continues its successful path of doubling energy productivity by 2030, a goal endorsed by the President that would not only reduce emissions below what is required under these new regulations, but would also save the United States $327 billion annually and create 1.3 million net new jobs.
