  • Patent number: 8352626
    Abstract: A video streamer aggregates multiple videos into a single video stream for delivery to a client to be displayed. The multiple videos are active to allow motion of the multiple videos to be shown. The multiple videos are part of an electronic program guide. Additional information related to one or more of the videos may be obtained and displayed by the client. One of the videos may be selected to be enlarged and/or have audio from that video played.

  • Patent number: 8311605
    Abstract: A biosensor is described which can obtain physiological data from an individual. The biosensor may collect electrodermal activity, skin temperature, and other information. The biosensor may be attached to the body through the use of a garment which may be fastened in multiple locations on the human body. The biosensor includes compensation for electrodermal activity measurements based on the amount of pressure applied to the electrodes that are in contact with the skin. As pressure is increased the electrodermal activity values typically increase. By compensating for the influence that pressure changes have on electrodermal activity, more accurate analysis of physiology and therefore mental state analysis may be performed.

  • Patent number: 8307317
    Abstract: A statistical on-chip variation approach to timing analysis permits the automated or semi-automated selection of design-specific margins without requiring complex statistical libraries. By separately addressing the impact of random and systematic variations on timing, a design-specific margin can be obtained and used in downstream OCV analysis. In addition, where statistical libraries are available for some portions of a design, these can be incrementally included in the timing analysis to obtain more accurate results.

  • Patent number: 8255865
    Abstract: Signal tracing across boards and chips can be used to greatly enhance failure analysis of the boards and chips. Concepts are disclosed for tracing one or more signal lines across a board, across a chip boundary, and across a chip. Signals may be traced through active circuitry on a chip along with paths through various logic cones. The result can be graphically and interactively presented.

  • Patent number: 7884649
    Abstract: Techniques in which an optimal set of clock gating elements is determined for a selected circuit design. Those clock gating elements are coupled to selected flip-flops, with the effect that those selected flip-flops will consume less dynamic power during operation of the logic circuit. The selected set of clock gating elements provides an optimal savings in overall power consumption after modification of that selected circuit design.
