  • Publication number: 20150213169
    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.

  • Publication number: 20150213173
    Abstract: This application discloses a computing system to implement a design verification tool and simulate a circuit design with a test bench. The computing system can identify multiple components in the circuit design to combine for distributed state coverage analysis based, at least in part, on data transactions generated during the simulation of the circuit design. The computing system can correlate information captured during simulation that corresponds to the identified components. The correlated information can identify at least one distributed state coverage event for the test bench. The computing system can generate a distributed state coverage metric based on the correlated information corresponding to the identified components. The computing system can prompt presentation of the correlated information a display window, which can graphically show how a test bench exercised the identified components during simulation.

  • Patent number: 8852087
    Abstract: An endoscope includes a handle and a shaft connected thereto. Imaging optics are arranged in the shaft that image an object located in the direction of view of the imaging optics in front of the shaft as an image and which to set the desired direction of view. The imaging optics comprise a swivellably housed deflecting unit positioned at the distal end of the shaft facing away from the handle. The possible swivel range of the imaging optics has a first and a second limit, as well as an actuating element, which is attached to the handle and which is mechanically connected to the deflecting unit. Thereby the swivel position of the deflecting unit within the swivel range can be changed in order to set a desired direction of view. A first mechanical stop is provided against which the deflecting unit lies when the first limit is reached.

  • Publication number: 20140265666
    Abstract: An electric machine has a stator that comprises a plurality of laminations with teeth and cooling apertures about a central opening. When the laminations are stacked to form the stator core, the teeth of adjacent laminations cooperate to form slots disposed circumferentially about the central opening that are configured to receive a plurality of stator windings, and the cooling apertures angularly spaced about the central opening cooperate to form cooling manifolds that extend along a length of the stator core. A portion of the laminations has their cooling apertures offset from other laminations in the stack in a manner to create a plurality of flow paths transverse to the manifolds. The transverse flow paths extend angularly between laminations and adjacent manifolds. A header assembly directs flow into and out of the stator core.

  • Publication number: 20140210821
    Abstract: Various improvements may lead to reducing or avoiding artifacts in curved planar reformation imaging. The source of voxels used in projection rendering may be verified to be from the vessels rather than intervening anatomy. To make the check more rapid, a hierarchal data structure may be used. Rather than using the vessels, geometric forms fit to the vessels may be used. Processing with geometric forms may be more rapid than a fine mesh or surface. Since tubular structures have a predictable change over length, the geometric forms or the vessel data itself may be filtered with a monotonicity constraint. Instead of using planes for segments based on the lumen or center line, a convex hull around the tubular structures is formed for the curved planar reformation.
