  • Publication number: 20130297520
    Abstract: Position class modeling systems are presented. Modeling systems can include a position class modeling engine configured to model one or more positions within an organization as a position class as a function of one or more values of modeling factors. The modeling engine derives one or more elasticity of the modeling factors where the elasticity provides in indication of how a position class would change based on changes of the modeling factor values.

  • Patent number: 6389565
    Abstract: A graphical user interface for displaying boundary scan test data, and method for producing the same, is presented. The user interface display allows a user to view boundary scan test data from a boundary scan testing device in a format well-suited for debugging. Serial data received from the testing device is organized into a parallel format to display predicted versus actual data values on a per node basis, to show how a node is passing or failing. In a preferred embodiment, the user views the frame cell number in the boundary scan chain, the device cell number within a device at that point of the chain, the device name, the pin of the device associated with the cell, the node associated with the pin, the predicted value for the cell, the actual value for the cell as if differs from the predicted value if it differs, and the cell numbers for drivers that match predicted and actual data.
