Abstract: A detailed placement process which optimizes cell placement with up to one hundred percent densities in a linear run time. The output from a conjugate-gradient coarse placement process is input to the detailed placement process. A dynamic programming technique is used to optimize cell placement by swapping cells between two or more rows. The search space is pruned beforehand. A greedy cleanup phase using an incremental row placer is used. Thereby, the detailed placement process handles congestion driven placements characterized by non-uniform densities expeditiously and efficiently.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using a patient display is described. The described system includes a medical imaging system. The medical imaging system includes a gantry, a patient display, and a computer. The gantry at least partially circumscribes a patient viewing area. The patient display is viewable from the patient viewing area. The patient display is communicatively coupled to the computer. The computer is programmed to receive scan protocol instructions and control the patient display according to the predetermined scan protocol. It is further programmed to prompt the patient, using the patient display, to perform a bodily action that facilitates the scan and to provide the patient with at least one of entertainment and distraction using the patient display.

Abstract: A flooring of pre-stressed deck construction having an elongate decking extending along the flooring is provided. The decking has an upwardly facing asymmetrically profiled channel formation whereby the neutral axis is above a central horizontal plane. A tension rod extends between stressing brackets secured to each end of the decking and is located below the neutral axis of the decking along the length of the decking. Each stressing bracket is secured to upwardly extending sidewalls of the channel above the tension rod. The decking is attached to the girder framework of a building.

Abstract: A respiratory measurement system and a method for measuring respiratory motion are provided. The system includes a strapping device that is configured to be placed across a chest of a person. The strapping device is substantially transparent to x-rays. The system further includes a sensor operatively coupled to the strapping device generating a measurement signal indicative of a displacement of the strapping device during respiration by the person.

Abstract: An object relative status determination system (54) for a vehicle (52) includes an orthogonal frequency domain modulation (OFDM) transceiver (56) that generates an object range signal (83). The system (54) may also include a global navigation system (GNS) (58) that receives a satellite range signal (70). A controller (66) is coupled to the OFDM transceiver (56) and the GNS (58) and determines object information relative to the vehicle (52) in response to the object range signal (83) and the satellite range signal (70).

Abstract: The embodiments described herein include a control system and method configured to communicate over a power line. The system includes a transmitting device configured to generate a carrier signal having a predetermined frequency over the power line. A receiving device is also included wherein it filters signals not having the predetermined frequency and receives the carrier signal. Accordingly, the receiving device activates an electrical device in response to the carrier signal.

Abstract: The embodiments described herein include a display system and method for a vehicle. The vehicle includes an interior with a front portion and a camera that is configured to capture images of an area in a vicinity of the vehicle. A display unit is configured to communicate with the camera while having a first view side for displaying images captured by the camera. In one embodiment, the first viewing side faces the front portion of the interior.
