  • Patent number: 11080444
    Abstract: Devices, methods, computer-readable media, and other embodiments are described for concurrent functional and fault co-simulation of a circuit design. One embodiment involves accessing simulation data for a circuit design made up of a plurality of machine regions. A plurality of faults is selected from the simulation data for co-simulation operations of functional simulation and fault simulation of the circuit design, and functional simulation of the plurality of machine regions is initiated using the simulation data. A first machine region is identified during the functional simulation as associated with at least a first fault of the plurality of faults. A functional simulation of the first machine region is performed, and a divergence point associated with the first fault is identified. A fault simulation for the first fault is performed using the functional simulation of the first machine region and the divergence point.

  • Patent number: 9072392
    Abstract: A mattress comprises an upper surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface. The mattress further includes first and second opposing side surfaces extending between the upper surface and the lower surface and third and fourth opposing side surfaces extending between the upper surface and the lower surface and between the first and second opposing side surfaces. A core section is formed by the upper and lower surfaces and first and second opposing core section side surfaces and third and fourth opposing core section side surfaces and an extension extends outwardly from a side surface of the core section. The extension is fixedly connected to or integral with the core section and the extension provides the upper surface with a greater area than the lower surface. The extension is capable of supporting a user without a support structure being positioned below the extension.
