Abstract: The present disclosure defines a morphing airfoil having a dynamic flexible skin system that is capable of carrying high level aerodynamic (or fluid) pressure loads over a structural surface. The structural surface can morph and deflect in response to control inputs to change a lift force without separate movable control surfaces. The anisotropic skin is attached to underlying structure that is both actively controlled and passively supported. A control system causes the underlying support structure to move to a desired location which in turn causes the skin to bend and/or flex without exceeding a stress threshold and thus vary the lift profile along a span of the airfoil.

Abstract: A method, a computer program, and an apparatus are provided for generating circuit energy models for a macro using clock gating inputs. Circuit energy models are used to estimate system power consumption. The present invention enables circuit energy models to be created for macros that contain clock gating inputs. Power tables are created based upon the macro's input switching factor percentage and the clock activation percentage. These power tables are generated from a minimum number of power simulations. By using clock activation percentage as a parameter accurate energy tables are produced.

Abstract: A method, a computer program, and an apparatus are provided for generating circuit energy models for a macro using multiple clock gating inputs. Circuit energy models are used to estimate system power consumption. The present invention enables circuit energy models to be created for macros that contain multiple clock gating inputs. Energy tables are created based upon the macro's input switching factor and the clock activation percentage. The clock activation percentage is produced by turning on and off the multiple clock gating inputs during the simulations. These energy tables are generated from a minimum number of power simulations. By using clock activation percentage as a parameter accurate power estimations are produced.

Abstract: A method, a computer program, and an apparatus are provided for generating circuit energy models for a macro containing internal clock gating. Circuit energy models are used to estimate system power consumption. The present invention enables circuit energy models to be created for macros that contain internal clock gating and multiple clock gating inputs. To achieve accurate power estimates a voltage supply is connected to each clock activate signal. Energy tables are then created based upon the macro's input switching factor percentage and clock activation percentage. These power tables are generated from a minimum number of power simulations. By incorporating internally generated clock activate signals into the power estimations the macro energy tables are much more accurate.
