Abstract: Techniques for locating a power transmission unit (PTU) in a system, method, and apparatus are described herein. For example, an apparatus may include a power detector to detect a low battery condition of the apparatus. The apparatus may also include a PTU locator to perform a PTU scan in response to the low battery condition, the PTU scan to identify a location of the PTU. The apparatus may also further include a PTU location displayer to display a location of the PTU based on the results of the PTU scan.

Abstract: Apportioning unequally contributions of different metal paths of a circuit to electromigration (EM) reliability. In an embodiment, a corresponding parameter value representing a magnitude of excess current flowing in a single direction in each metal path is determined. A desired reliability measure for electromigration (EM) is apportioned among the metal paths based on computed parameter values for the corresponding metal path. A reliability analysis for the circuit is performed based on the apportioning. In an embodiment, metal paths which predominantly carry currents with an average value less than a threshold are excluded from being considered as contributors to EM degradation.
