Patent number: 8893061Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention overcome I/O bottlenecks of an EDA work flow by keeping layout data distributed during handoffs among different processing stages. Specifically, some embodiments leverage a concurrent computation paradigm where data is propagated incrementally between stages, and where data processing among consecutive stages and the I/O between stages are executed concurrently. Specifically, different data processing stages can partition the layout data differently, and portions of the layout data that are not required by a data processing stage can be either passed-through or passed-around the data processing stage.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2014Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Synopsys, Inc.Inventors: Michael L. Rieger, Mathias Boman, Naji V. Bekhazi, Daniel D. Hung, Michael G. Brashler, Thomas Brett Hall

Patent number: 6850825Abstract: An improved method of selectively suppressing deployment of a vehicular inflatable restraint utilizes dynamic variation in the apparent weight of a vehicle occupant to infer a free mass of the seat occupant. The free mass of the occupant is inferred by filtering out portions of a weight-responsive signal due to occupant position adjustment and inferring the occupant free mass based on the variation of the apparent weight with respect to the variation in vertical acceleration of the vehicle. The decision to allow or suppress deployment of the restraint is determined based on a comparison of the static weight reading with at least one threshold, and the occupant free mass is used to adjust the threshold in a direction to minimize the overall variability of the system. Measures of the seat belt tension and the seat temperature are also be used to adjust the threshold in a direction to minimize system variability.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2002Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Morgan D. Murphy, Phillip E Kaltenbacher II, Royce L. Rennaker, Brett A. Hall, Stuart S. Sullivan, Peter J. Schubert
