Abstract: Systems and arrangements are provided for filtering language. As presently preferred, these are configured to filter inappropriate language, symbols, words, etc on web sites or used in chat rooms. Embodiments create one or more arrays of inappropriate character strings representing, for example, obscene words and character combinations. Embodiments identify the inappropriate character strings, for example in chat text, and edit them to an appropriate form, for example with cartoon characters, and/or delete the inappropriate character strings. Preferably, at least one embodiment applies the content filter via executing a program of instructions, stored on a tangible storage medium, to achieve this functionality.

Abstract: A method of modeling a design in a high level modeling system that supports unidirectional data flow, may comprise identifying a bus-block to represent a connectivity of a bi-directional bus in an system. The bus-block may be represented in serial relationship with the bus. Taps may interface the bus via the bus-block. During simulation, the bus-block emulates behavior of a tri-state buffer in series with an input line for the tap interface. During synthesis, pairs of unidirectional input and output lines of opposite data-routing orientation, which may emulate bus ports to the bus-block, may be collapsed to a single bus port. The synthesis may further generate a netlist that may dispose a tri-state buffer between a tap input and the bus. The netlist may also represent layout of the tri-state buffer for driving an output of the tap.

Abstract: Method and system for generating an electronic circuit design. A first logic block is instantiated in the design in response to user input controls. The first logic block includes parameters that specify its interface requirements. Bus interface blocks, which are parameterizable to connect a logic block to a bus, are provided in a library. Bus interface blocks that connect the first logic block to the bus are instantiated in the design, and the bus interface blocks are parameterized in response to the requirements of, the first logic block. The bus interface blocks are connected to the first logic block in such a way that the first logic block is extended into a peripheral that can communicate with the bus.
