Abstract: Integrated circuits (ICs) rely on static timing analysis during their design to ensure that they will operate at desired frequencies. Delays between sequential elements (e.g., latches and flip-flops) are constrained to meet target clock periods. Certain signals, however, such as untimed nets may be excluded from timing constraints if the circuit function does not require these nets to switch and propagate to sequential elements within the clock period. However, a signal marked as “untimed” may have been mistakenly specified by the designer as an untimed net. To verify that an untimed net does not negatively impact the function of the design logic, the embodiments herein generate upstream and downstream event networks using shadow logic that corresponds to design logic upstream and downstream of the untimed net. A metastability network coupled to these networks is used to model nondeterminism and metastability resulting from transitions or potential glitches on the untimed net.

Abstract: A method and system for using a communication protocol over a low-powered transmission network. The communication system and protocol enables low-powered transmission devices to efficiently and reliably transmit data in challenging environments. The communication system and protocol can reduce power consumption by designating devices as either transmitter devices, repeater devices, and receiving devices, such that not all devices in the network need to be configured to transmit and receive data. Because the communication protocol does not require that all devices need to both transmit and receive data, there is a significant power usage savings relative to traditional mesh networks. Additionally, the present invention implements a combination of time-based diversity and transmission path diversity to more reliably communicate data. Devices in the system can change the manner in which they operate based on the sensor measurements, allowing the devices to intelligently respond to different conditions.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose populating a database by conducting a training phase to analyze training security log streams.

Tokens are extracted from symbol string, where the tokens are words, phrase or alphanumeric sequence represented by a symbol within training security log stream. The symbol string is replaced with the words they represent to allow for the identification of the actual token phrases. A scan is conducted on the token phrase to acquire scan data on the identified token phrases. Once the tokens, position information, and scan data are known they are stored within the database to allow security log streams to be analyzed in real time.

Abstract: Diagnosing a pump apparatus having a downhole pump disposed in a deviated wellbore characterizes axial and transverse displacement of a rod string with two coupled non-linear differential equations of fourth order, which include axial and transverse equations of motion. To solve the equations, derivatives are replaced with finite difference analogs. Initial axial displacement of the rod string is calculated by assuming there is no transverse displacement and solving the axial equation. Initial axial force is calculated using the initial axial displacement and assuming there is no transverse displacement. Initial transverse displacement is calculated using the initial axial force and the initial axial displacement. Axial force and friction force are calculated using the initial displacements, and the axial displacement at the downhole pump is calculated by solving the axial equation with the axial force and the friction force. Load at the downhole pump is calculated so a downhole card can be generated.
