  • Patent number: 9559907
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a control client is configured to determine whether or not the most current configuration profile has been installed within a corresponding mobile device. In particular embodiments, the client is configured to store its own copy of a configuration profile and to compare its copy with the most current configuration profile generated by a device management system as well as to the configuration profile currently installed and applied by a configuration manager within the mobile device. Each configuration profile includes an embedded verification token that facilitates this process. Furthermore, the client may be configured to inform the device management system as to whether or not the current configuration profile has been installed. The device management system may govern enterprise access by the mobile device based on whether or not the current configuration profile has been installed.

  • Patent number: 6601220
    Abstract: According to the present invention, a method is provided for transistor level calculation of the precharge time of a domino logic circuit. In one version of the invention, the domino logic circuit has a plurality of cascaded stages, at least one stage having an unclocked evaluation path. In this version, the method includes the steps of determining a reset time for at least one stage of the domino circuit, determining a total reset time for the stages upstream of the at least one stage, and summing the reset time of the at least one stage with the total reset time of the cascaded stages upstream of the at least one stage to determine the precharge time. In another version, the method includes the step of performing a circuit analysis of the channel connected transistors in the at least one stage having an unclocked evaluation path.

  • Patent number: 6185723
    Abstract: A methodology is implemented for accurately and precisely computing the output signal times for clock circuit in a data processing system (600) using transistor-level static timing analysis tools which compute delays of blocks or subcircuits that correspond to channel-connected components of transistors. During execution of the Static timing analysis, the predictability of clock signals is recognized and denoted in a timing model (616-622). Furthermore, an actual logical function of the clock circuit is determined during execution of the static timing analysis to provide more precise knowledge of the rise and fall times of the signals provided to the clock circuit.

  • Patent number: 6014510
    Abstract: A method for accurately and precisely computing the output signal transition times in a clock distribution, or buffering, network of a data processing system is provided herein. This methodology may be implemented in transistor-level static timing analysis tools which compute delays of blocks or subcircuits that correspond to channel-connected components of transistors. Furthermore, the static timing analysis techniques traditionally implemented are modified to more accurately compute signal delays and transition times at the outputs of a clock distribution network circuit.
