  • Publication number: 20210334717
    Abstract: A system is disclosed that sends, through one or more messaging modalities, an electronic message containing a system or user genera0ted unique identifier to at least one recipient on a system or user enabled and controlled list. The system receives a response electronic message containing the unique identifier and response data identified by a symbol. The program verifies the validity of the unique identifier and optionally that a sender of the response message is on the list. If the unique identifier is verified, the program correlates the message response data with the unique identifier and sends an additional message replicating the response data to the controlled list as a reply or update concerning the message. The program repeats the receiving, verifying, and sending to allow further updates on the message using the modality of communication.

  • Patent number: 10878159
    Abstract: Disclosed approaches for pipelining signal paths in an integrated circuit (IC) device include receiving by a design tool a circuit design to be implemented in the integrated circuit device. The design tool identifies signals of the circuit design that require pipeline registers between drivers and loads of the signals, and relaxes an initial timing requirement to a relaxed timing requirement. The design tool determines respective numbers of pipeline registers to insert between each driver and load of each of the signals based on the relaxed timing requirement. The design tool inserts in the circuit design, respective sets of the respective numbers of pipeline registers between each driver and load of each of the signals. The design tool places the respective sets of the pipeline registers on the IC device using the initial timing requirement.
