Patents by Inventor Brittany DUFFY

Brittany DUFFY 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).

  • Patent number: 11775730
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include a computer-implemented method of hierarchical large block synthesis (HLBS). At least a partial ring is created around an HLBS structure. The partial ring includes at least one or more of filler elements, which are engineering change order (ECO) books for adding repeaters to wire dominated nets, and decoupling capacitors of relatively large sizes. Certain areas of the HLBS structure within the partial ring that exhibit a unique characteristic are identified. Decoupling capacitors of the relatively large sizes are disposed in the certain areas. A remainder of the areas of the HLBS structure are filled with engineering change order (ECO) books and decoupling capacitors of relatively small sizes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11243083
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are provided for implementing route generation with augmented reality. A crowd or event is analyzed and escape routes are intelligently distributed by attendee profile type or ability. Augmented Reality (AR) projections are used representing different subsets of an event population to convey the profile-specific escape routes for people to follow. The AR behavior is changed as an event situation changes.

  • Publication number: 20210342837
    Abstract: From a first group of records of a set of transactions, a set of common transactions is extracted. The first group is formed based on a criterion. A record corresponds to a transaction in the set of transactions. A first transaction in the set of common transactions is classified into a transaction type. From a first actor associated with the first transaction, a first role corresponding to the first transaction is determined. Using the transaction type, the first role, and the time period, a transaction template, the transaction template comprising an action item and a role corresponding to the action item are determined. Using the first transaction template, a transaction is instantiated, the instantiating generating an action request corresponding to the action item and assigning an actor to the role.

  • Patent number: 10884482
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method (and associated computing system and computer program product) comprises distributing computing workloads among a plurality of processing units of a computing system. The method further comprises, responsive to detecting a reduced power supply capacity of the computing system: determining, based on historical workload information, a first workload of the computing workloads to prioritize the completion thereof, and prioritizing power delivery to a first processing unit of the plurality of processing units to which the first workload is distributed. The method further comprises powering down the first processing unit responsive to completion of the first workload.
