  • Publication number: 20160192620
    Abstract: A system, a feeding device, and a method enable a terminal device of a pet owner to directly and/or indirectly communicate with the feeding device. The feeding device can monitor and/or feed the pet. For example, components of the feeding device, along with a sensor worn by the pet and in communication with the feeding device, can monitor the pet. A cloud database may compile and may perform an analysis of health and wellness information and food consumption data sent from the feeding device and may communicate with the terminal device of the pet owner bidirectionally. The analysis can use data from a consumer-club of pets to provide best service. The feeding device can also communicate with the terminal device of the pet owner bidirectionally, either directly using one or more wireless connections or indirectly using the cloud database.

  • Publication number: 20160063157
    Abstract: One or more systems and techniques for modeling are provided. An original device model, such as a SPICE model, is used as a basis for fabricating a semiconductor arrangement, such as an integrated circuit arrangement, upon a semiconductor wafer. Fabrication process variations cause measured e-parameters and measured size e-parameters of the semiconductor arrangement to vary from original design parameters of the original device model. Accordingly, a partial set of e-parameters and a partial set of size e-parameters are measured from the semiconductor arrangement, and are expanded into a full set of e-parameters and a full set of size e-parameters using e-parameter derivation and size-centric derivation. The original device model is retargeted using the full set of e-parameters and the full set of size e-parameters to create a new device model that more accurately represents the real-world or fabricated semiconductor arrangement.

  • Patent number: 7246143
    Abstract: A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) arrangement for use in those situations in which not all of the outputs are desired is controlled in such a fashion that at least those multiplications (and possibly those additions) are not performed which do not contribute toward the desired outputs. The technique is usable in those situations in which the desired output signals are noncontiguous, or are in noncontiguous bins. The technique includes signal preprocessing in which the indices are adjusted so that the index for a particular stage points to those butterflies of the previous stage which contribute toward its output. The FFT is performed on the indexed data. In one embodiment, a pipelined FFT processor is controlled in a corresponding manner.
