Publication number: 20240129259Abstract: A durability assessment system may receive a request, from a computing system, for a durability index describing an entity. The durability assessment system may determine the durability index based on information about the resource usage by the entity, such as a resource availability score or a resource allocation score. The durability assessment system may compare the obtained resource availability score and resource allocation score to ranges associated with a set of durability indices. Based on the comparison, the durability assessment system may determine a durability index for the entity. The durability index may indicate an ability of the entity to return accessed resources. In some cases, the durability assessment system may provide the durability index to an allocation computing system that is configured to determine whether to grant access to resources based on the durability index.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Todd Duncan HOOVER, Brandi Nicole RECKER, William Charles GATES, Sean Patrick MCKEOWN, Matthew Richard JACKSON, Dinesh Hiro WADHWANI

Patent number: 8200464Abstract: Systems and methods of simulating an explosion in time-marching finite element analysis are disclosed in the present invention. A method is configured for increasing user (e.g., engineer or scientist) productivity by reducing computation time of simulating fluid-structure interaction due to an explosion. The method comprises a creation of a finite element analysis model that includes structure, surrounding fluid, a blast source of the explosion and a single layer of ambient elements each having a segment representing a boundary of the fluid facing the blast source. Each ambient element is associated with a particular finite element representing the fluid at the boundary. The ambient elements are configured to be situated between the blast source and the structure such that the simulation can be carried on a set of boundary conditions specified thereon. The boundary conditions comprise a set of nodal velocities that are determined from the empirical formula (e.g., Friedlander equation).Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2009Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Livermore Software Technology CorporationInventor: Todd Patrick Slavik

Patent number: 7702494Abstract: A system, method and software product for prescribing rigid body in finite element analysis is described. According to one aspect, user defines a rigid body orientation time history based on a variety of schemes including, but not limited to, direction cosine, orientation angles, Euler parameters, Rodriguez parameters, and Caley-Klein parameters. The unique combination in one of the schemes is converted to direction cosine time histories first. The direction cosine matrix can then be interpolated from either the defined or the converted direction cosine time history at each solution cycle. The time derivative of the direction cosine matrix and the resulting angular velocity matrix are calculated. The solution for the equation of motions is obtained using calculated angular velocity for each solution cycle until the simulation ends. According to another aspect, the present invention interpolates user specified rigid body orientations time history in several schemes including, piecewise linear, cubic spline.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2006Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Livermore Software Technology CorporationInventor: Todd Patrick Slavik

Patent number: 7678657Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for manufacturing an emitter structure in a complementary bipolar complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CBiCMOS) transistor manufacturing process. A protective layer is formed over an emitter layer in a transistor structure and lateral portions of the protective layer and the emitter layer are etched to form an emitter structure. An oxide layer is then deposited over the transistor structure and an etchback process is performed to remove portions of the oxide layer from the top of the protective layer. A source/drain implant process is then performed to implant an extrinsic base region of the transistor. The protective layer protects the emitter structure from the implant process. Then the protective layer is removed from the emitter structure.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2006Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: National Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Todd Patrick Thibeault, Steven J.
