  • Patent number: 10776069
    Abstract: A multi-user display collaboration system includes a plurality of source devices that each include a respective source device display screen, a display device, and a sink device coupled to each of the plurality of source devices and the display device. The sink device receives first collaboration information that is stored on the first source device and displayed on a first source device display screen of the first source device, and displays the first collaboration information on the display device. The sink device then receives a first input instruction from a second source device that is directed to the first collaboration information displayed on the display device; and causes the first input instruction to be executed on the first collaboration information that is displayed on the display device.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070230645
    Abstract: During verification of a description of a circuit containing a pre-determined assertion, in order to detect incorrect behavior of the circuit that may be caused by metastability occurring in signals that cross clock domains (“CDC” signals) in the circuit, the description of the circuit is automatically transformed by addition of circuitry to inject the effects of metastability into the CDC signals. The transformed description containing the circuitry to inject metastability is verified in the normal manner. Certain embodiments analyze the transformed description using a model checking method to determine a stimulus sequence that will cause the pre-determined assertion to be violated. The transformed circuit is then simulated in some embodiments, using the stimulus sequence from model checking, and an incorrect behavior of the circuit due to metastability is displayed, for diagnosis by the circuit designer. The circuit designer may revise the circuit description and iterate as noted above.
