Steve Hickman has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9846523
    Abstract: A system and method provide feedback regarding the confirmation of automated and operator assigned tasks, wherein one of the operator tasks and automation tasks includes a value for a parameter. The operator task and automation task that includes the value is rendered subsequent to being accomplished if the value does not match the parameter.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8984488
    Abstract: Systems and methods for type and range propagation through data flow models are provided. In one embodiment, a test generating system for processing data flow diagrams, the system comprises: a processor programmed to perform a test generation process; and at least one memory device coupled to the processor, the at least one memory device including a data flow diagram. The test generation process computes range information and data type information for outputs of one or more functional blocks defined by the data flow diagram by applying transformations to input range information for inputs of each of the one or more functional blocks. The transformations are at least in part performed by applying specific mathematical and functional effects that are pre-defined for each of the one or more functional blocks based on block type.

  • Publication number: 20100192128
    Abstract: An electronic system for test generation is disclosed. The system comprises a source code generator, a test generator, and a code and test equivalence indicator, each of which take functional requirements of a design model as input. The test generator generates test cases for a first test set and a second test set, where the first test set comprises a target source code without references to test points in the source code and the second test set comprises a test equivalent source code that references the test points of the source code. The code and test equivalency indicator generates test metrics for the first and second test sets and comparatively determines whether the target source code is functionally identical to the test equivalent source code based on an analysis of the test metrics and a comparison of the target and the test equivalent source codes.
