Abstract: In the verification of an electronic design such as a microprocessor, a set of generic transaction types is applied to a unit in a unit simulation environment and then the same set of generic transaction types is applied to the unit in a larger (e.g., element) simulation environment using an abstraction layer which can interface with both a unit translation layer of the unit simulation environment and an element translation layer of the element simulation environment. The abstraction layer may comprise a generic driver interface which issues generic commands having command parameters including a command type, an address, and operand data. The invention can be extended to multiple units which make up the element, or to multiple elements in the element environment. The invention can further be extended in a hierarchical fashion to other levels of simulation environments, e.g., unit-element-system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for the distribution of single-product-type unlabeled packages are provided. For each distribution, the system coordinates the processes required for: (1) transporting unlabeled packages containing the product from a manufacturing location to a carrier hub; (2) printing and applying respective shipping labels to the unlabeled packages; and (3) sending the labeled packages to their various retail locations. By delegating the tasks of receiving, labeling, and shipping the packages containing the product to a single carrier, the systems and methods allow the carrier to receive the packages for continued processing without the presence of any identifying labels.
