  • Publication number: 20230035517
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for monitoring, maintaining and upgrading a property. A property fitness index tracks a maintenance of at least one properly using at least one fitness metric. A property value for the property is determined and a property value boost for the property is determined using the property fitness index for the property. A property log auto-populates a property log for the property with recorded actions related to the property and associated dates for the recorded actions. The recorded actions may be categorized by improvements, maintenance or home issues.

  • Publication number: 20190251520
    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring, maintaining and upgrading a property. A system for allowing a user to manage at least one property, each of which has at least one state and at least one trait, the system comprising a computing device having a processing unit, the processing unit operatively coupled to a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the processing unit, perform the steps of calculating a property fitness index or score for one or more of the properties. The property fitness index or score is calculated from at least one of the following fitness metrics: a behavior of the user within the property, a level of engagement of the user with the system, at least one state of the property, at least one trait of the property, and combinations thereof. And displaying the property fitness index or score to the user.

  • Patent number: 7191112
    Abstract: Test benches, simulations, and scripts are invoked in parallel for testing multiple points in a circuit being synthesized in an Analog Mixed Signal environment. A simulation system for simultaneously optimizing performance characteristics in circuit synthesis uses a set of design parameters. At least one circuit model is used to incorporate the set of design parameters, each circuit model adapted to model a portion of the circuit pertaining to a performance characteristic. At least one analysis test bench is then connected to each circuit model. Each analysis test bench is adapted to model circuitry external to the circuit and control the type of analysis to be performed for each performance characteristic of the circuit.

  • Patent number: 7076415
    Abstract: Circuit synthesis is performed utilizing an optimizer that selects design parameters for a synthesis model of a circuit based on desired performance characteristics and performance characteristics/design parameters of previously synthesized circuits. Performance characteristics and design parameters of each synthesized circuit are maintain in conjunction with the synthesis model of the circuit being synthesized. A synthesis plan identifies the synthesis model and specific instructions on how to perform optimized selection of design parameters, how to set up test benches, and how to perform the simulation.
