  • Patent number: 11494451
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for generating, in response to a search query of a user, a personal search result that identifies a physical location previously interacted with by the user, such as a physical location previously visited by the user. Some implementations are directed to methods and apparatus for determining whether a search query is a personal locational query indicating a desire for information related to one or more physical locations previously interacted with by the user. Some implementations are directed to methods and apparatus for determining search parameters for such a personal locational query. Some implementations are directed to methods and apparatus for searching private content of the user to determine physical locations previously interacted with by the user that are responsive to such a personal locational query.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7146300
    Abstract: A method is provided for co-simulating a digital circuit using a simulation engine (45) which communicates with one or more first programming languages by means of a foreign language interface and which communicates directly with one or more second programming language. At least one first model (2, 3) or at least one first part of the digital circuit is provided in at least one high-level hardware description language which supports concurrent processes communicating with each other. The at least one first model is converted (50, 51) to at least one software model in the at least one first language.

  • Patent number: 6817012
    Abstract: A method is provided for translating a source operation to a target operation. The source operation acts on one or more source operands, each comprising a binary integer of a first bit-width. The target operation is required to be evaluated by a processor, such as a computer, which performs integer operations on binary integers of a second bit-width which is greater than first bit-width. The source operation is translated to a target operation having at least one target operand. The method identifies whether the value of unused bits of the or each target operand affects the value of the target operation and whether the target operand or any of the target operands is capable of having one or more unused bits of inappropriate value. If so, a correcting operation is added to the target operation for correcting the value of each of the bits of inappropriate value before performing the target operation.
