Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention encompass automated systems and methods for analyzing platelet parameters in an individual based on a biological sample obtained from blood of the individual. Exemplary techniques involve correlating aspects of direct current (DC) impedance and/or light measurement data obtained from the biological sample with an evaluation of platelet conditions in the individual.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for processing a electronic design, which use a computer system to identify an operation associated with a task to be performed on the electronic design, to generate a hierarchical output for multiple shapes for performing the task based at least in part on performing an operation associated with the task, and to display or to store the hierarchical output. The task comprises a dummy fill insertion task or a design verification task in some embodiments. The methods or the systems may further determine or identify an inverse transform and apply the inverse transform to a shape before adding the shape to the hierarchical output. In some embodiments, there exists no duplication among the shapes in the hierarchical output.

The methods or the systems may further determine or identify an inverse transform and apply the inverse transform to a shape before adding the shape to the hierarchical output. In some embodiments, there exists no duplication among the shapes in the hierarchical output, or only shapes derived from original shapes that belong to the first instance of a cellview master are added to the hierarchical output.

Abstract: A video compression circuit comprises an input that receives an input video signal. A memory buffer, coupled to the input, temporarily stores a portion of the input video signal. A single horizontal filter bank, coupled to the memory buffer, high-pass and low-pass filters horizontal components of the input video signal. A single vertical filter bank, also coupled to the memory buffer, high-pass and low-pass filters vertical components of the input video signal. A recursion buffer, coupled to the filter banks, temporarily stores filter components of the input video signal for recursive filtering.
