  • Publication number: 20240153170
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for managing multiple data visualizations on a digital canvas. In some embodiments, a method of managing multiple data visualizations includes generating a first graphic object on a digital canvas. A first dataset is received and used to generate a first chart based on the first dataset and a visual property of the first graphic object. The first chart comprises a first plurality of graphic objects including the first graphic object. A second dataset is then received and used to generate a second chart on the digital canvas based on the second dataset. The second chart includes a second plurality of graphic objects. An axis of the first chart and an axis of the second chart are merged such that the axis the first chart and the axis of the second chart share a scale attribute.

  • Publication number: 20240153155
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for binding colors to data visualizations on a digital canvas. In some embodiments, a method of binding colors to data visualizations includes receiving a data set including data associated with a variable. A chart, including a plurality of graphic objects, is generated based on the variable of the data set and a visual property of the plurality of graphic objects. A data type associated with the variable determined and first colors are assigned to the plurality of graphic objects based on the data type using a color binding. A selection of second colors to be assigned to the plurality of graphic objects is received and the chart is updated using the second colors.

  • Publication number: 20240153171
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for generating a data visualization. In some embodiments, a method of generating a data visualization includes generating a first graphic object on a digital canvas. A data set including data associated with a plurality of variables is added to a data panel of the digital canvas. A selection of a variable from the plurality of variables on the data panel is received and a second graphic object connecting the variable and a cursor position on the digital canvas is generated. A selection of a visual property of the first graphic object is received using the cursor. Upon selection of the visual property, the first graphic object is linked to the data panel via the second graphic object. A chart is then generated comprising the first graphic object and one or more new graphic objects, based on the variable and the visual property of the first graphic object.

  • Patent number: 10346581
    Abstract: A method for validating the design of an electronic circuit uses a static checker tool to verify the circuit design against rules and attributes of the components of the circuit. A power intent of the circuit, pins for power, ground and data signal inputs and outputs for each component, and a model for attributes and parameters of the pins are defined. The attributes of the components are defined in terms of input and output voltages; input and output currents; input and output voltage, current and data signal timing; and input and output voltage and current ranges and tolerances. A netlist of interconnections representing the designed circuit is validated against the power intent and the model for the attributes. A report is output describing the validity of the circuit based on the compatibility of the netlist, the power intent, and the model for the attributes of the components.

  • Patent number: 5826230
    Abstract: The device detects the beginning and ending portions of speech contained within an input signal based on the variance of smoothed frequency band limited energy and the history of the smoothed frequency band limited energy within the signal. The use of the variance allows detection which is relatively independent of an absolute signal-to-noise ratio with the signal, and allows accurate detection within a wide variety of backgrounds such as music, motor noise, and background noise, such as other voices. The device can be easily implemented using off-the-shelf hardware along with a high-speed special purpose digital signal processor integrated circuit.
