A programmable logic device, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, includes a plurality of multiplexers, having fuse input terminals and input signal terminals, and a plurality of associated fuses providing fuse signals to the fuse input terminals to control selection of the input signal terminals. The fuses in a first state select a first input signal terminal of the input signal terminals, with a first multiplexer from the plurality of multiplexers receiving a first logic level signal at the first input signal terminal and providing the first logic level signal to the first input signal terminal of a first set of the plurality of multiplexers. The fuses associated with the first set are adapted to be programmed before the fuses associated with the first multiplexer.

A method of preventing an unintentional state change in a data storage node of a latch is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a reference input signal; generating a delayed input signal based upon the reference clock signal; maintaining a state of a first data storage node of a plurality of data storage nodes by latching data at the first node using the reference input signal; and maintaining a state of a second data storage node of the plurality of data storage nodes by latching data at the second data storage node using the delayed input signal. A circuit for preventing an unintentional state change in a data storage node of a latch is also disclosed.

A method for dilating a stenotic region in an airway of a patient may include advancing a balloon catheter through the airway of the patient to position an inflatable balloon of the catheter within at least a portion of the stenotic region, maintaining a position of the catheter relative to the patient, and inflating the balloon of the catheter to dilate the stenotic region of the airway. A system for dilating a stenotic region in an airway of a patient may include a catheter shaft having an overall length of less than 70 cm, an inflatable balloon disposed along a distal portion of the catheter shaft, and a stylet.

Changes to a collection of documents are tracked by generating content information for the collection of documents identifying initial content within the collection of documents and assigning an indicator a value indicating absence of changes to the collection of documents. A change to the collection of documents is detected and the value of the indicator is adjusted in accordance with the detected change to indicate an amount of the initial content within the modified collection of documents.

A method, a system and a computer program product create a retention schedule for content within a content repository. A rule is obtained in a domain-specific language specifying content for retention, a retention time period, and a task for performance upon expiration of the retention time period, and the rule is processed to create the retention schedule. The processing of the rule includes mapping the specified content to content within the content repository, creating an action corresponding to the specified task for the content repository, and creating the retention schedule linking the mapped content and created action for the specified retention time period.
