Patents by Inventor Andrew Maurice Bloom

Andrew Maurice Bloom has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Combined waveform and data entry apparatus and method for facilitating fast behavioral verification of digital hardware designs
    Patent number: 6871331
    Abstract: A computer implemented apparatus and method that automates the entry, modification, analysis, and generation of test benches from electrical circuits, both of which are specified as hardware description language (HDL) files. The computer implemented-method and apparatus also provides a unique mechanism that blends entry and display of timing requirements that must be met by the electric circuit.
    Type: Grant
