  • Patent number: 10769008
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for use in an electronic design. The method may include receiving, using at least one processor, an electronic design and analyzing the electronic design. The method may further include generating one or more preconditions representative of metastability effects at the output of at least one synchronizer associated with the electronic design. The method may also include generating, based upon, at least in part, the one or more preconditions, one or more properties configured to analyze a propagation of the metastability effects associated with the at least one synchronizer.

  • Patent number: 8803691
    Abstract: An attention assistance device for providing attention assistance including various features that help maintain a user's focus on a given task. The attention assistance device may include an activity sensor that generates an activity output in response to detection of a user generated activity. The attention assistance device may also have a timer that increments a counter at regular time intervals, resets the counter in response to the activity output, and generates a timer output when the counter reaches a threshold. Further, the attention assistance device may include a stimulation unit that alerts a user in response to the timer output.

  • Patent number: 8742933
    Abstract: An attention assistance device configured to help maintain a user's focus on a given task. In one embodiment, text is presenting to a user on a touchscreen. The user tracking the text using a finger is monitored. The user is stimulated when the finger stops tracking the text for a predetermined period of time. In another embodiment, an electronic device presents an output configured to be tracked by a user. A monitoring device observes the user tracking the output. A sensory stimulating device stimulates the user when the “tracking” falls below an attention threshold.

  • Publication number: 20110051557
    Abstract: A device controller configured to control physical devices using an audible humming frequency that includes: a humming frequency module, a humming command module, and a control command module. The humming frequency module may be configured to determine humming frequenc(ies) using a detected humming signal(s). The humming command module may be configured to compute humming command(s) based on the humming frequenc(ies). The control command module may be configured to generate control command(s) using received key command(s) and humming command(s).
