Abstract: A method (500) and navigation system (100) are provided that generate a navigation route that is environmentally optimized between an origin and destination. Upon receiving an origination location and destination from a user or other source, such as a GPS satellite (104), a route determination module (302) determines multiple routes between the origination location and destination.

An evaluation module (303) then can selects a proposed route for presentation to the user via a presentation module (304). Alternatively, the evaluation module (303) may select two or more routes, which the presentation module (304) may present with corresponding environmental impact data such that the user may select a particular route. Additionally, a green coach module (306) may provide instructions to the user for more environmentally beneficial operation of a vehicle (102).

Abstract: The input for a test generator is a plurality of test templates, each of which typically aims at covering a specific verification task. Test templates direct the production of distinct transactions, which are the atomic functional building blocks of the design-under-verification. Test templates directed to different hardware functions of the scenario are dynamically interleaved. In this way several transactions are combined together in complex statements in order to achieve a complex test scenario. The transactions are submitted to the test generator, which generates test cases, in which the different hardware functions of the scenario are exercised in combinations. Variation among the test cases is achieved through a large number of random decisions made during the generation process.

The mobile device executes a stored application and classifies data generated by the executed application into one of at least two categories based upon a domain of a target network to which the data is to be sent. A first category relates to data requiring communication at least partially over the WWAN and a second category relates to data not requiring communication over the WWAN. The mobile device establishes communication with a target device in the target network over at least the UWN based upon classification of the data generated by the executed application.

Abstract: Methods for built-in self-test (BIST) testing and circuitry for testing a content addressable memory (CAM) core are provided. In one example, the BIST circuit includes a search port for enabling searches of the CAM core and a maintenance port for enabling addressing of locations of the CAM core. The maintenance port includes writing logic for writing to locations of the CAM core. The BIST circuit also includes a BIST controller for coordinating BIST testing of the CAM core. The BIST controller is capable of performing a BIST search on the CAM core on every cycle through the search port and performing a BIST write at selected times to the CAM core. Thus, the BIST write is capable of being performed in a same cycle as the BIST search permitting at-speed BIST. The BIST controller, performs BIST testing in a manner that limits the number of rows in the CAM that match at any given cycle, thus allowing a low-power BIST operation.
