  • Patent number: 8569068
    Abstract: A process for controlling the composition of an xBOB so that the xBOB will yield an oxygenate-containing gasoline which precisely meets desired specifications when mixed with the desired amount of oxygenate. The process involves blending a plurality of blendstocks to produce an xBOB, withdrawing a sample of the xBOB, obtaining spectroscopic measurements for the sample, applying mathematical models that were based on correlation of xBOB spectra to associated oxygenate-containing gasoline properties, to predict laboratory analysis results for oxygenate-containing gasoline properties, and using the analysis results to control and optimize the blending process.

  • Patent number: 6678625
    Abstract: A multipurpose configurable bus independent simulation bus functional model for testing a circuit is described. The multipurpose bus functional model utilizes a configurable data structure to interact with a device being tested by providing high-level test generation routines defined by the bus interface specified. The configurable data structure allows for verification of both signal timing and functional operation bus specifications. This data structure technique utilizes a standardized and parameterized method that allows variations and multiple instances of test bench models to be generated and instantiated in a design test environment. The bus functional model also sub-divides general functions and data structures into separate re-usable functional blocks. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other researcher to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure.

  • Patent number: 6581194
    Abstract: A method for simulating verification of an IC design. The method generally comprises the steps of (A) generating one or more transactions of a simulation and (B) testing the one or more transactions and possibly generating an exception. The exception may be configured to initiate a modification of step (A).
