Patent number: 8249426Abstract: A method (100) of automatically editing audio and visual recordings to produce an audio-visual production using computer processing means. The method (100) involves a first step (101) of setting production criteria in which the desired production duration, target device, maximum execution time and location of media files are specified. In a second step (102) a style is selected for applying to the media files. A third step (103) of selecting ones of the media files involves selecting those media files in folders which have been accessed most recently by a user, based on awarding a score to folders. In a fourth step (104), the selected style is applied. This is followed in a fifth step (105) by rendering the production to the target device.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2004Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Muvee Technologies Pte LtdInventors: Peter Rowan Kellock, Shri Venkata Radhakrishna Achanta, Gerald Thomas Beauregard, Sheng Lo, Philip Norman Morgan, Yee Cheng Ng, Srikumar Karaikudi Subramanian, Eu Gin Terence Swee, Emarson Victoria, Bin Rubani Mafrudy

Publication number: 20120198399Abstract: The present invention provides a system, method and computer program for determining constraint errors in hardware design debugging. The invention may be included as part of a complete verification solution. The method involves applying a diagnostic technique such that under-constrained problems are identified by adding a model-free error suspect or error candidate on the primary input signals (or other signals where constraints or stimuli are usually added). The present invention also provides a system, method and computer program that enables hardware design correction, consisting of the use of generating correction waveforms for identifying one or more corrections at the gate level and/or logic level of the hardware design. A number of different diagnostic techniques can be used in this way for example, include simulation-based techniques, BDD-based techniques, SAT-based techniques and path tracing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2011Publication date: August 2, 2012Inventors: Sean Arash Safarpour, Duncan Philip Norman Smith, Yu-Shen Yang, Andreas Veneris
