Publication number: 20240129259Abstract: A durability assessment system may receive a request, from a computing system, for a durability index describing an entity. The durability assessment system may determine the durability index based on information about the resource usage by the entity, such as a resource availability score or a resource allocation score. The durability assessment system may compare the obtained resource availability score and resource allocation score to ranges associated with a set of durability indices. Based on the comparison, the durability assessment system may determine a durability index for the entity. The durability index may indicate an ability of the entity to return accessed resources. In some cases, the durability assessment system may provide the durability index to an allocation computing system that is configured to determine whether to grant access to resources based on the durability index.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Todd Duncan HOOVER, Brandi Nicole RECKER, William Charles GATES, Sean Patrick MCKEOWN, Matthew Richard JACKSON, Dinesh Hiro WADHWANI

RECOMMENDING CHANGES IN THE DESIGN OF AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT USING A RULES-BASED ANALYSIS OF FAILURES
Publication number: 20240119205Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for recommending design changes in designing a digital integrated circuit. An analysis of the digital integrated circuit being designed is performed, where the result of such an analysis involves violations being identified and stored. A stored violation, such as a cross-domain, cross-hierarchy and multi-cycle violation, may then be analyzed to identify a root cause of the violation using a rule. Such a rule may be used for triaging various failures in the cross-domain, cross-hierarchy and/or multi-cycle violation of the digital integrated circuit. A design change in the design of the digital integrated circuit may then be recommended based on the identified root cause of the violation. In this manner, the root cause of failures are effectively identified in the design of digital integrated circuits using an offline analysis of cross-domain, cross-hierarchy and/or multi-cycle violations using a rules-based approach.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: SheshaShayee K Raghunathan, Charles Gates, Kerim Kalafala, Steven Joseph Kurtz, Morgan D.

Publication number: 20080066042Abstract: Existing text output from a design rule checker is put in appropriate input format, and automatically displayed as text within a design tool using existing design tool capabilities, such as highlighting, zooming, and drawing box-regions. A graphical display of the output of the rule checker includes the informative text. Design rule violations are listed in a manner in which they can be individually selected. The output is displayed on a unique software program layer within the design tool so as to not effect or make any permanent changes to the original design file. The layers can be safely deleted when no longer in use.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2007Publication date: March 13, 2008Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Bruce Archambeault, Thaddeus Chen, Michelle Cook, Charles Gates, Derrick Scott

Publication number: 20070055021Abstract: Disclosed is a polyethylene composition. The composition comprises single-site multimodal resin A and single-site multimodal resin B, wherein resin A differs from resin B in molecular weight, in monomeric composition, in density, in long chain branch concentration or distribution, or in combinations thereof. Disclosed is also a method for making the polyethylene composition. The method comprises polymerizing, in the presence of two or more single-site catalysts, ethylene or its mixture with a C3-C10 ?-olefin to form a first multimodal resin and continuing the polymerization in the presence of the same catalysts but in a different hydrogen concentration, in a different monomer composition, or at a different temperature to form a second multimodal resin.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2005Publication date: March 8, 2007Inventors: Venki Chandrashekar, Mark Mack, Charles Gates, Charles Holland, Natalia Nagy, Sandor Nagy, Edward Vargas, Jean Merrick-Mack

Patent number: RE45280Abstract: A segmented transformer coupled plasma (TCP) coil is provided as a source for generating a uniform plasma in a plasma reactor. The segmented TCP is divided into two or more segment coils which, when connected to an RF source, produces a circulating flow of electrons to cause a magnetic field in the plasma. Because the segmented TCP employs multiple segment coils, a plasma is generated that is more spatially uniform than the plasma produced by a monolithic coil. This is implemented using a power distributing component that allows the RF current to be distributed in the segment coils such that a uniform plasma density can be obtained in an area spanned by the coils. For instance, variable shunts, switchable shunts, and disconnect switches can be used to vary the RF currents in the individual coils.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2000Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Lam Research CorporationInventor: Duane Charles Gates
