  • Patent number: 7464015
    Abstract: In a verification supporting apparatus, when an obtaining unit obtains a verification scenario, a substituting unit substitutes an undefined value for a variable value in the verification scenario. A first executing unit executes a logic simulation using an input pattern. From a result of the logic simulation, a determining unit generates code-coverage upper-limit information. A setting unit sets input patterns by giving an arbitrary logic value to the variable value. A second executing unit executes a logic simulation using the input patterns set. A generating unit generates code coverage from the input patterns set. A calculating unit calculates a level of achievement of the code coverage with respect to the code-coverage upper-limit information.

  • Publication number: 20080287067
    Abstract: A portable device for preventing communication errors caused by disturbance such as noise. The portable device receives a first request signal from a communication controller and transmits a first response signal corresponding to the first request signal. A transmitter transmits the first response signal with a selected one of a plurality of frequencies. A transmission control unit transmits the first response signal from the transmitter with the one of the plurality of frequencies. The portable device further receives a second request signal from the communication control unit, which receives the first response signal. When the second request signal cannot be received, the portable device retransmits the first response signal from the transmitter with a frequency that differs from the one of the plurality of frequencies.
