Patent number: 9158654Abstract: A code verification tool verifies that code generated from a model represents all of the functionality of the model and does not contain any unintended functionality. The code verification tool may receive for examination a model or an intermediate representation (IR) of the model and the generated code or an intermediate representation of the generated code. The code verification tool may create further intermediate representations of the model and/or the generated code in order to compare the functionality presented in both.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2013Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: Joel David Thornton, Matthew J. Englehart, Jun Yan

Patent number: 8734219Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms described herein facilitate the determination of a relative skill score for a poker player. According to various embodiments, a first expected stack value for a designated player may be determined prior to a voluntary player action event associated with the designated player in a poker hand. A second expected stack value for the designated player may be determined after the voluntary player action event. A designated relative skill score for the designated player may be determined by calculating a difference between the second expected stack value and the first expected stack value. The designated relative skill score may be stored on a storage medium.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2013Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Skill in Games LLCInventors: David Thornton, Emilio Seijo
