  • Patent number: 11922101
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for automated generation of integrated circuit designs and associated data. These allow the design of processors and SoCs by a single, non-expert who understands high-level requirements; allow the en masse exploration of the design-space through the generation processors across the design-space via simulation, or emulation; allow the easy integration of IP cores from multiple third parties into an SoC; allow for delivery of a multi-tenant service for producing processors and SoCs that are customized while also being pre-verified and delivered with a complete set of developer tools, documentation and related outputs. Some embodiments, provide direct delivery, or delivery into a cloud hosting environment, of finished integrated circuits embodying the processors and SoCs.

  • Patent number: 9959715
    Abstract: A sleep inhibition assembly for inhibiting a driver from falling asleep includes a housing that may be manipulated. A vibration unit is coupled to the housing and the vibration unit vibrates the housing. The vibration unit may be placed in a mouth. Thus, the vibration unit may inhibit a driver from falling asleep.

  • Publication number: 20050045761
    Abstract: A system for automatically correcting flight path of an aircraft onto a predetermined trajectory is provided. A sensor is configured to sense speed and direction of air relative to the aircraft at a predetermined distance in front of the aircraft. A navigation system is configured to determine displacement of a flight path of the aircraft from a predetermined trajectory. A processor is coupled to receive the sensed speed and direction of air from the sensor and the displacement of the flight path from the navigation system. The processor includes a first component that is configured to determine whether the speed of the air at the predetermined distance is indicative of turbulence, and a second component that is configured to automatically generate control signals to correct the flight path of the aircraft from the displacement onto the predetermined trajectory by a time when the aircraft enters the turbulence.

  • Publication number: 20050035242
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention automatically compensate control of an aircraft for an environmental condition, such as turbulence or wind shear. A sensor is configured to sense speed of air relative to an aircraft at a predetermined distance in front of the aircraft. A processor is coupled to receive the sensed speed of air from the sensor. The processor includes a first component configured to determine whether the speed of the air at the predetermined distance is indicative of an environmental condition, such as turbulence or wind shear. A second component is configured to automatically generate control signals for controlling the aircraft such that the environmental condition is automatically compensated by a time the aircraft enters the environmental condition.

  • Patent number: 6356943
    Abstract: A distance learning implementation is effected as a client/server solution with a centralized server facility and a remote client facility. The centralized server facility includes a first network with at least one host processor system and associated operating software. Each of the at least one host processor system(s) is configured in the network with at least one specialized apparatus, such as an Integrated Cache Disk Array, which represents an operating environment for purposes of training remote trainees. A gateway, in the form of a router, provides access to the centralized server facility network, and the at least one host processor system is selectably accessible through a switch in the server facility network. A remote training facility network is configured as a client with a minimal amount of hardware to access the centralized server facility network over a standard digital communications network, such as an integrated services digital network (ISDN) line.

  • Patent number: 4601896
    Abstract: This invention provides oral dosage forms of therapeutic agents such as digestive enzymes which are subject to degradation and loss of activity at gastric pH. and compositions and methods for preparing same. Capsules of their components are formulated from a composition comprising a plastic homogeneous mass of gastric fluid impervious material such as cellulosic derivatives or collagenous material; from 10-65% by weight of a diluent selected from the group consisting of water, a lipid having a melting point above mammalian body temperature and a water miscible solvent; 4-60% by weight of procollagen; and 30-86% by weight of collagen or elastin. The composition is formed into finished capsules of relatively homogeneous composition comprising 10-50% by weight of procollagen and 40-96% by weight of a material selected from the group consisting of collagen and elastin, and having less than 4% by weight of fat and water-soluble protein.
