    Abstract: The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems, including a method for presenting information. A first graph is presented that represents plural groups, each representing an aggregated set of data points grouped based on a first set of common attributes. User input selecting a particular group is received. The aggregated set of data points is analyzed to determine whether the number of aggregated set of data points exceeds a threshold. In response to determining that the number exceeds the threshold, the aggregated set of data points is re-grouped. A second set of common attributes associated with the re-grouped set of data points is identified. The data points are aggregated based on the second set of common attributes. A second graph is provided for presentation, the updated graph representing plural groups, each group representing an aggregated subset of data points from the aggregated set of data points.

  • Patent number: 8954908
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for automatically approximating conventional Monte Carlo statistical device model evaluation for circuit simulation with drastic speed improvements, while preserving significant accuracy. Embodiments enable quick inspection of the effects of process mismatch variations on single devices and even large circuits compared to standard computationally prohibitive Monte Carlo analysis. Statistical device model variation is calculated as if all such variation is due to changes in threshold voltage, even though other physical phenomena are known to contribute. Threshold voltage variation is modeled as a function of statistical variation, device size, and working bias condition. Circuit simulation is faster when the full internal device model parameter set is not rebuilt for every Monte Carlo analysis iteration. Embodiments are compatible with both conventional SPICE and newer Fast SPICE simulations.

  • Patent number: 6820243
    Abstract: A method and system for simulating a circuit design that includes analog and/or digital circuitry uses a hybrid system of static analysis and dynamic simulation. Once the user's circuit is read in and partitioned into stages, the input vectors are applied. A hybrid vector is used to represent a number of possible signal states, for example, a logic 0 or logic 1, as well as a number of possible signal transitions, for example, a rising signal or a falling signal. The possible combinations of states are enumerated and the network in the stage is solved for all possible combinations. The results from the network solutions for the different combinations are recomposed into the hybrid notation, which is then applied to the next stage.

  • Patent number: 6619940
    Abstract: A device for clamping electromagnetically molds of the injection molding machine comprises a stand on which a fixed board and a guiding mechanism are mounted. A movable board is slidably mounted on the guiding mechanism to slide back and forth in relation to the fixed board. The fixed board is provided with a male mold mounted thereon. The movable board is provided with a female mold mounted thereon. The sliding motion of the movable board toward the fixed board brings about the mold opening action, the mold closing action, and the mold locking action. The movable board and the fixed board are provided with a magnetic force generating mechanism for effecting attraction or repulsion between the movable board and the fixed board. The attraction serves to effect the mold closing action and the mold locking action. The repulsion serves to effect the mold opening action.
