Abstract: A system includes a library of elements to create a model describing a waveform parameter technique. A constraint checker verifies that the created model is correct by construction by needing no verification after compilation. The constraint checker also implements a valid programmable device build according to the waveform parameter technique. A placement decision module receives the verified models produces a placement decision for placing the waveform parameter technique based on the verified model in a programmable device. A synthesis tool receives the verified model from the placement decision module and synthesizes the waveform parameter technique based on the verified model. A link/loader receives the placement decision from the placement decision module and receives the synthesized technique from the synthesis tool. The link/loader also places the waveform parameter technique in the programmable device according to the placement decision.

Abstract: A hand held ultrasonic instrument is provided in a portable unit which performs both B mode and Doppler imaging. The instrument includes a transducer array mounted in a hand-held enclosure, with an integrated circuit transceiver connected to the elements of the array for the reception of echo signals. A digital signal processing circuit performs both B mode and Doppler signal processing such as filtering, detection and Doppler estimation, as well as advanced functions such as assembly of multiple zone focused scanlines, synthetic aperture formation, depth dependent filtering, speckle reduction, flash suppression, and frame averaging.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining integrated circuit layouts from a virtual circuit description and specification of a technology. Starting with high-level descriptions of a circuit, a virtual geometric description of the circuit is developed using a virtual grid described in terms of reference points relative to a substrate surface. The relationships among the reference points are expressed as fractions of variables that can also be used to define the design rules. When the technology is specified, the relationships among the reference points is determined, as in the layout of the integrated circuit.
