  • Patent number: 7493576
    Abstract: Methods and structure for improved design remediation for previously inexplicable damage to core circuits of an application circuit design caused by CDM ESD events. Features and aspects hereof note that such previously inexplicable damage to core circuits of an application circuit design is caused by inductive coupling between the non-core circuits and the core circuits of an application circuit design. Features and aspects hereof automatically alter an application circuit design to provide remediation by various techniques to reduce the magnitude of such inductive coupling and to thereby reduce susceptibility of the application circuit to damage from CDM ESD events. The modifications may be enforced as rules during initial design of the application circuit or as reconfiguration of a design in response to simulation to discover inappropriate coupling in the design.

  • Patent number: 7206009
    Abstract: A heating head which functions as an erase head for quick operation can be turned off while not in use yet it can turn on when it is used (on-demand operation) and operates stably without over-heating even for the long operation, re-writable media record erasing equipment and erasing method. At least one strip of Heating Resistive Element 2 is formed on one side (surface) of Head Substrate 1 lengthwise. The Temperature Measurement Resistive Element 3 is formed on the same side of the Head Substrate 1 surface. The other side of the is facing the Heat Sink 5 to hold the Head Substrate 1 and the Thermal Resistive Layer 4 is sandwiched. When the re-writable media record is erased, the media is moved across the erase head after the temperature of the temperature measurement resistive element reaches the predetermined level.

  • Patent number: 7113623
    Abstract: Methods and systems for reconstruction of a three-dimensional representation of a moving arterial tree structure from a pair of sequences of time varying two-dimensional images thereof and for analysis of the reconstructed representation. In one aspect of the invention, a pair of time varying arteriographic image sequences are used to reconstruct a three-dimensional representation of the vascular tree structure as it moves through a cardiac cycle. The arteriographic image sequences maybe obtained from a biplane imaging system or from two sequences of images using a single plane imaging system. Another aspect of the invention then applies analysis methods and systems utilizing the three-dimensional representation to analyze various kinematic and deformation measures of the moving vascular structure. Analysis results may be presented to the user using color coded indicia to identify various kinematic and deformation measures of the vascular tree.

  • Patent number: 6895019
    Abstract: Data which is transmitted over the internet or other transmission networks is first divided up into individual information packets, transmitted and then reassembled into useful data after reception. Parity packets are included in with the information packets in the transmission of data in order to enable the regeneration of any information packets which were lost or damaged during transmission. The grouping of information packets and parity packets derived therefrom is termed a chunk. Chunk arrangements to recover from all cases of single and double lost packets are disclosed. Bursts of lost packets are recovered by interleaving the transmission of packets from different chunks. If the recovery is not successful then retransmission occurs in a manner similar to TCP.
