  • Patent number: 8788886
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for verifying memory dump operations and scan dump operations. A memory specification is analyzed and parsed to generate a script for performing a memory dump operation. To verify the memory dump operation, first, a set of values are written to one or more memories of a SoC. Next, the script is executed to perform the memory dump operation, and then an output bitstream from the operation is compared to the set of values. The scan dump operation involves taking a snapshot of a model of a SoC in an emulator. A scan dump operation is performed, and an output bitstream from the operation is compared to the snapshot. The memory and scan dump operations are invoked using commands in a first language, and the commands are translated into a second language to perform the operations.

  • Patent number: 8639981
    Abstract: A system and method of various SoC design verification techniques. A model of an SoC design is simulated in an emulator, and the emulator is connected to a debugger. Scripts are conveyed from a host computer to the debugger. The debugger translates the commands in the scripts from a first language into commands in a second language. The debugger then conveys the commands in the second language to the emulator. The debugger is also configured to utilize the same scripts to perform tests on an actual SoC on a development board.

  • Patent number: 6093163
    Abstract: A unitary device for the correction of hallux valgus is made of an elastomeric fabric material that includes a large portion that encloses the forefoot cirumferentially, and a smaller portion that encloses the great toe circumferentially. The fabric for constructing the device is cut in such a way that there is a bias towards varus of the great toe. Once the device is applied on the great toe and forefoot, the bias of the cut exerts a varus force on the great toe, thus correcting the valgus deformity.

  • Patent number: 4913136
    Abstract: A method of making a harness that significantly facilitates application and enhances its effectiveness in infants with congenital hip dislocation. The novel and significant features of the invention include adjustable attachment of the leg straps at the legs just below the knees and not at the chest, use of an attached toe-cover to prevent slippage of the foot from the stirrup, and color-coding of the leg straps to prevent wrong attachments.

  • Patent number: 4646216
    Abstract: A method of covering a lampshade with pleated fabric to enhance its decorative value. The pleated fabric is attached to elastic bands circumferentially, at predetermined markings, so that when applied onto the lampshade, the pleats are evenly spaced, which is essential in a decorative item. This method has the distinct advantages of ease of application and consistently reproducible results.
