Publication number: 20240144790Abstract: An electronic door chime can meet safety standards and be compatible with smart doorbells and IOT doorbells. Current generation smart doorbells, also called IOT doorbells, require continuous power to drive the cameras, audio interfaces, and other components within the smart doorbell. Compatibility issues with prior art doorbell systems have emerged with the smart doorbell receiving inadequate power or power that doesn't meet the smart doorbell's input specification. In some cases, a prior art doorbell system is driven to failure or to excessive temperatures when the smart doorbell continuously draws too much power. A new electronic door chime can safely power the smart doorbells while also being compatible with simple push button doorbell devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Rocklan E. Lawrence, Qiang Hong

Patent number: 7643979Abstract: Data structures and algorithms are provided to automatically generate an analog stimulus to apply to a simulation of the analog DUT. A constraint solver is provided to determine suitable values to use in the stimulus generation. The suitable values are random values within a range of allowed values. For example, a number of different stimuli are generated for successive application to the analog DUT, each with a different magnitude within a range of allowed magnitudes. Data structures and algorithms are provided to monitor analog electrical properties at nodes of the analog DUT. Data structures and algorithms are provided to define constraints on the analog electrical properties and determine whether the constraints were violated. Data structures and algorithms are provided to define simulation coverage conditions in the analog domain and determine whether the defined analog domain coverage conditions have been satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2006Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignee: Rambus Inc.Inventors: Qiang Hong, Kevin D.

Publication number: 20080263487Abstract: A method and system for performing consistency checking of one or more design representations having different design types. A translator for each design type obtains information from each design needed to evaluate rules that are design type-neutral. The described examples also allow a user to add rules using predefined rule terms. In addition, certain examples allow the user to add terms to the rule set and to make new rules with the added terms. Each new term added to a rule set has a corresponding abstraction function in a translator for each design type. Thus, the abstraction functions are not design type-neutral.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2008Publication date: October 23, 2008Inventors: Qiang Hong, JIng Jiang, Kevin D. Jones, Kathryn M.

Patent number: 7360187Abstract: A method and system for formally verifying designs having elements from more than a single design domain is described. An example system allows formal verification of a design containing mixed analog and digital subparts. The system may use different proof engines to solve an appropriate sub-partition of the entire design, and may provide a framework for translating between the different domains to create a unified result. For example, a digital proof engine may be used for a digital only subpart, while an analog proof engine may be used for an analog only subpart. The system may use the partitioning results to determine translators between the various domains, and an order in which the proof engines are applied.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Assignee: Rambus Inc.Inventors: Kevin D.
