  • Patent number: 9824169
    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 capture events performed by a circuit design simulated with a regression and identify that one or more combinations of the captured events covers system level functionality of the circuit design. The computing system can determine whether the system level functionality covered by the combinations of the captured events was previously uncovered for the circuit design, and generate a regression efficiency metric configured to quantify newly covered system level functionality prompted by the regression.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 9472017
    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.

  • Patent number: 9321197
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of a composite part with a multi-part outer layer and with a foam layer bonded on the reverse side to the outer layer, in particular internal cladding of a vehicle, and also to a composite part. The inventive process comprises the following steps: a) arrangement of a first skin and of a second skin with angled-off end regions on the surface of a mold in such a way that the angled-off end regions of the first and second skin have firstly been oriented away from the surface of the mold and secondly are adjacent to one another; b) application of a reduced pressure in the region of the position of the angled-off end regions, in such a way that the angled-off end regions are pressed two-dimensionally against one another; c) reverse-side foaming of the first and second skin with a foam composition. The inventive process permits the simple production of visually attractive composite parts with multi-part outer layer.
