Publication number: 20210400624Abstract: A location control subsystem is provided that allows a user of an electronic device to define the granularity used to provide location coarseness. A user can define a coarse location granularity for an application. When a coarse device location is reported to an application, the location can be provided with at least a minimum degree of variable specificity based on the selected location coarseness. When an application is granted a coarse location, the application is to interpret the provided location indicating that the user may be anywhere within a geographic region of variable specificity, as opposed to being close to a center point with a horizontal accuracy based on the precision of the location fix, as when a fine granularity location is provided. In addition to reducing the spatial resolution of the location that is reported to the application, the temporal resolution may also be reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventors: Adam Driscoll, Siraj Taqi Abidi, Jessica Aranda, Matthew Ball, Krishna Behara, Patrick Coffman, Charlie Deets, Christopher Foster, Ron Huang, Erik Neuenschwander, Stephen J.

Patent number: 8943450Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for automatically providing circuit designers with verification coverage information for analog/mixed-signal circuit designs. A graphical user interface based environment allows circuit designers to assemble a schematic representation of a lower-level circuit design from pre-defined building blocks and various types of connections. Embodiments convert the schematic representation into a behavioral model for rapid simulation. Building blocks in the behavioral circuit have coverage-related terms defined either by the designer or by default, such as input and output value ranges, internal state changes, and state timers and timing-related constraints. Embodiments simulate the behavioral circuit, and determine and tangibly output coverage-related information. Manual and automatic behavioral circuit and stimulus modification can maximize coverage for improved behavioral circuit verification.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2013Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Inventors: Walter Hartong, Paul Christopher Foster, Jinduo Sun

Patent number: 8748800Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for detecting particles emitted by nuclear material. The systems comprise one or more semiconductor devices for detecting particles emitted from nuclear material. The semiconductor devices can comprise a charge storage element comprising several layers. A non-conductive charge storage layer enveloped on top and bottom by dielectric layers is mounted on a substrate. At least one top semiconductor layer can be placed on top of the top dielectric layer. A reactive material that reacts to particles, such as neutrons emitted from nuclear material, can be incorporated into the top semiconductor layer. When the reactive material reacts to a particle emitted from nuclear material, ions are generated that can alter the charge storage layer and enable detection of the particle.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2013Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Spansion LLCInventors: Timothy Z.
