Abstract: A netlist may include a set of resistance components of an integrated circuit (IC) design, and may specify a length, a width, and a metal layer of each resistance component in the set of resistance components, and physical locations of circuit nodes connected to each resistance component in the set of resistance components. A process description may specify the resistivity and thickness of each metal layer in the IC design. For a resistance component in the set of resistance components, resistivity and thickness of the metal layer of the resistance component may be determined based on the process description, and an inductance component corresponding to the resistance component may be determined based on the length and the width of the resistance component, the resistivity and the thickness of the metal layer of the resistance component, and the physical locations of the circuit nodes connected to the resistance component.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to determine audio source impact on an audience of media are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes dividing monitored audio into successive audio segments including a first audio segment and a second audio segment. The example method also includes generating a first confidence value from the first audio segment and a second confidence value from the second audio segment, the first confidence value associated with a presence of a first audio source in the first audio segment, the second confidence value associated with a presence of the first audio source in the second audio segment. The example method includes identifying whether the monitored audio is associated with a presentation of first media based on the first confidence value and the second confidence value.

Abstract: Methods and systems described in this disclosure electronically notarize a document. The system can receive biometric information from a user, extract characteristics from the biometric information, and compare the characteristics of the biometric information with previously stored characteristics of the user's biometric information. When the characteristics of the biometric information match the previously stored characteristics to a threshold, the system can create an identity of the user using the characteristics of the biometric information. The system can send a document to the user for cryptographic signature and receive an indication that the document has been signed. The cryptographic signature can be generated with a digest of the document, the identity, and a cryptographic key associated with the user. The system can inspect the digest of the document, the cryptographic key, and the identity associated with the document to verify authenticity of the document and the identity of the user.

Abstract: A scrubbing device includes a housing. An axle is rotatably mounted on the housing. The scrubbing device also includes a motor operatively coupled to the axle. The scrubbing device further includes at least one brush wheel and a stone wheel mounted on the axle. The at least one brush wheel includes a plurality of bristles. The scrubbing device also includes a pipe having a plurality of holes disposed above the axle. The pipe is in fluid communication with a source of fluid.

Abstract: Techniques for preparing a user device for use in a location having limited network access include replacing data in the device cache prior to the user device reaching the location. A length of time until cached data expires, a length of time used to replace the cached data, and a length of time for the user device to reach the location are determined. Portions of the cached data that will expire while the user device is within the location are replaced. The time at which the data is replaced is based on the length of time used to replace the data and the length of time for the user device to reach the location. While the user device is in the location, functions that transmit large quantities of data may instead be replaced with more efficient data types or queued for later execution after the user device exits the location.

A disclosed example method includes dividing monitored audio into successive audio segments including a first audio segment and a second audio segment, the monitored audio associated with monitored media. The example method also includes generating a first confidence value for the first audio segment of the successive segments and a second confidence value for the second audio segment, the first confidence value associated with a presence of a first audio source in the first audio segment, the second confidence value associated with a presence of the first audio source in the second audio segment.

Abstract: A segmental crimper comprises at least three crimper segments and an actuator. The crimper segments are arranged circumferentially about a crimper axis that defines axial and radial directions. The crimper segments are movable relative to each other in a manner such that the crimper segments collectively define a variable size aperture that is aligned with the crimper axis. Each of the crimper segments comprises a radio frequency heating element. The actuator is operatively connected to the crimper segments in a manner such that movement of the actuator causes all of the crimper segments to simultaneously move relative to each other and alters the size of the aperture.

Abstract: This invention is a portable exercise system capable of performing multiple exercises for strength and endurance training. The key component is the force generation unit (FGU) which is small and light enough to be suspended during the exercise yet capable of producing a force of 50 lbs. The FGU is programmable allowing it to generate various force vs distance, time or velocity profiles. Different handles, cables and attachments can be connected or used with the FGU perform different exercises. The FGU can charge its battery from the user's energy during use. The FGU can communicate bidirectionally with computers and smart phones for setup and to track the user's performance. Multiple FGUs may be used simultaneously each performing a separate function. The entire system is small enough to fit in a drawer or suitcase. The accompanying software can track the user's performance and function as an automated personal trainer.

Abstract: A light and fan assembly has a generally tubular housing that has a turbine fan located on one end, the fan discharging a stream of air therefrom, and a light located on the opposing end, the light discharging a light beam therefrom in opposite direction to the direction of the air stream. A clip clips the housing to an appropriate surface such as a hat brim. A monocular is attached to the housing. Alternately, the fan can be held within an assembly that is pivotally attached to a lower surface of the housing.
