Patents by Inventor Arwen Warlock

Arwen Warlock has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7933755
    Abstract: An automated model componentization feature systematically converts duplicate or otherwise amenable patterns in a model into references. Multiple references are simplified to one unit that contains the otherwise duplicated functionality. Duplicated or selected functionality is identified based on a number of arguments that may be user supplied. These arguments include the level of polymorphism (i.e., which of the sample times, dimensions, and data types can be propagated in) but also the maximum size of the patterns to look for to address the general trade-off of generating few partitions with many blocks or many partitions with few blocks and which modeling constructs are used (e.g., whether Go To/From connections such as in Simulink® are present). Model conversions can result in potentially disjoint partitions.

  • Patent number: 7412367
    Abstract: A system and method provides for the formation of transparent links between subsystems or blocks within a graphical model. The transparent link allows marking one or multiple subsystems in the graphical model as the reference source that, similar to a library block, can be linked with other blocks in the graphical model. The referenced subsystem or block is not located in a separate file from the graphical model file. Changes made to a source block in the model can be propagated to linked destinations.
