An improved integrated circuit package for providing built-in heating or cooling to a semiconductor chip is provided. The rate policing algorithm utilizes a state machine having four links: compliant state to compliant state; transition from compliant state to non-compliant state; non-compliant state to non-compliant state; and transition from non-compliant state to compliant state. The integrated circuit may include a voltage filter that may either be implemented on the integrated circuit or external to the integrated circuit. The compounds disclosed herein have activity associated with the arachidonate cascade.
