  • Publication number: 20180334168
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and system to operate a motor vehicle with a congestion assistant. The congestion assistant enters sensor data, which serves as input data of the congestion assistant. The sensor data is evaluated, via an evaluation unit, in order to define a value representing a signal roughness of the sensor data. The value is compared, via a comparison unit, with a threshold value. A suppression signal is generated, via a signal detection unit, to prevent automatic activation of the congestion assistant if the value is greater than the threshold value.

  • Patent number: 9811617
    Abstract: This application discloses a computing system to implement a design verification tool and simulate a circuit design with a regression. The computing system can define coverage for system level functionality of a circuit design as a set of system level coverage points. Each of the system level coverage points can correspond to a different portion of system level functionality of the circuit design. The computing system can correlate the system level coverage points in the set according to characteristics of the different portions of the system level functionality corresponding to the system level coverage points. The computing system can utilize the correlated set of system level coverage points to identify system level functionality left uncovered by events performed by the circuit design during simulation with one or more regressions.
