Abstract: A method for enabling a single digital product acquisition from an on-line media partner. The method includes: providing an interface system that is managing access to digital content of the on-line media partner through a paywall system; receiving, at the interface system, a request to access a portion of digital content from the on-line media partner from a user that is a non-subscriber of the on-line media partner; determining, by the interface system, if the user that is requesting access to the portion of digital content from the on-line media partner is a customer of the interface system; and in response to receiving sufficient tokens from the customer of the interface system to access the portion of digital content from the on-line media partner, enabling display of the portion of digital content from the on-line media partner to the customer of the interface system.

Abstract: A method of generating net routing constraints for nets of an IC design includes generating a file with hashes organized by nets. Each hash has attributes of a net, e.g. net name, length, fanout, total actual route (AR) resistance, a corresponding virtual route (VR) resistance, and a number of vias. A wire only AR resistance for each net can be calculated. Wire scaling factors can be calculated using the wire only AR resistances and their corresponding VR resistances. Wire scaling factors can be binned by one or more net characteristics. An average wire scaling factor can be calculated for each bin. Code used by a place and route tool can then be generated, wherein the code applies the average wire scaling factors to nets of the design to improve pre-route and post-route correlation.
