Patent number: 12634156Abstract: A computer system traces an original electronic design automation (EDA) implementation process for electronic hardware designs. The original EDA implementation process includes multiple subprocesses to convert a hardware model to a physically-realized electronic circuit. The system inputs a cryptographic key and design information that includes the hardware model, constraints, properties, implementation settings, and other directives for directing the conversion. The cryptographic key and design information are processed to generate a sequence of instructions to execute and provide traceability of each subprocess.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2024Date of Patent: May 19, 2026Assignee: Graf Research CorporationInventors: Ali Asgar Sohanghpurwala, Scott Harper, Jonathan Graf, Carlton Fraley, Alan Cook, Timothy Dunham

Patent number: 9813561Abstract: Measures for transferring an established communication session in a telecommunications network, the communication session being established between one of a plurality of communication clients associated with a user and a remote device associated with a remote party. At a call control system located in the signaling path for the established communication session, a communication session transfer request is received from a device associated with the user, the communication session transfer request having been generated by and transmitted from the device. Transfer of the established communication session from the one communication client in the plurality of communication clients to another communication client in the plurality of communication clients is initiated at the call control system. The transfer is conducted on the basis of a preconfigured data set, specific to the user, identifying one or more of the plurality of communication clients associated with the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2016Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: METASWITCH NETWORKS LTDInventors: Chris Mairs, Alan Cook, Jon Rowland, Lionel James Jerome Lee, Doug Currie
