Abstract: Systems and methods for performing agent analytics are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an agent analytics system receives, from a user device, an identification of a location of interest; receives listings data for an agent from one or more agent databases; selects listings of the listings data for the agent that are within a geography level corresponding to the location of interest and that are of one of one or more listing types; generates, based on the selected listings, polygon data for a polygon (e.g., corresponding to a map) representing an activity area of the agent for the one or more listing types; and sends the first polygon data to the user device. In some embodiments, the agent analytics system receives an identification of the agent from the user device (e.g., instead of a location of interest), and then proceeds to accordingly generate polygon data to send to the user device.

Abstract: A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor design methodology and system substantially maximizes the benefits of including MIM capacitors in an integrated circuit design while substantially minimizing the negative impacts resulting from increased capacitance. A process analysis is performed on an integrated circuit design to determine a metal layer that is likely to be most adversely affected by the presence of MIM capacitor cells. The MIM capacitor cells are then designed to have specific sizes and orientations based on results of the process analysis, taking the most affected metal layer into consideration. Finally, the MIM capacitor cells are placed at selected locations on the die in an algorithmic fashion in order to satisfy a design target of maximizing coverage area while avoiding interference with signal paths and critical or sensitive components.
