20100192111 | PERFORMING LOGIC OPTIMIZATION AND STATE-SPACE REDUCTION FOR HYBRID VERIFICATION - One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates optimization and verification of a circuit design. The system can receive a set of assumptions associated with a circuit. The set of assumptions can specify a set of logical constraints on at least a set of primary inputs of the circuit. Note that the set of assumptions are expected to be satisfied during normal circuit operation. The system can generate a stimulus generator based in part on an assumption in the set of assumptions. The output values from the stimulus generator, which when assigned to the set of primary inputs of the circuit, cause the set of primary inputs to satisfy the assumption. Next, the system can generate a modified circuit by coupling the outputs of the stimulus generator with a set of primary inputs of the circuit. The system can then perform logic optimization on the modified circuit to obtain an optimized circuit. | 07-29-2010 |
20100269078 | AUTOMATIC APPROXIMATION OF ASSUMPTIONS FOR FORMAL PROPERTY VERIFICATION - One embodiment provides a system, comprising methods and apparatuses, for simplifying a set of assumptions for a circuit design, and for verifying the circuit design by determining whether the circuit design satisfies a set of assertions when the simplified set of assumptions is satisfied. During operation, the system can simplify the set of assumptions by identifying, for an assertion in the set of assertions, a first subset of assumptions which, either directly or indirectly, shares logic with the assertion. Furthermore, the system can modify the first subset of assumptions to obtain a second subset of assumptions which either over-approximates or under-approximates the first subset of assumptions. Then, the system can refine the second subset of assumptions to either prove or falsify the assertion. | 10-21-2010 |

20120252438 | Mobile Unit And Network Element For Testing RF Coverage - A mobile unit and network element are used to test RF coverage in a wireless communication network. A mobile unit receives testing location information, including the cell location data and the boundary information, from a network element. The mobile unit moves about the testing location and receives information about the RF quality of the signal and stores this data. The mobile unit periodically sends the stored data to the network element. The network element includes a correlation element that correlates the received data to form new values for each of the cell sites tested. This correlated value can be used for multiple cell sites to determine which cell sites most need additional RF coverage testing. In addition, the network element can map the data and either send to the mobile unit, display on a monitor at the network element, or sent to a web server for access via the Internet. | 10-04-2012 |

20150198627 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SPEED SENSOR POSITION DETECTION IN A MULTIPLE CHANNEL CONTROL SYSTEM - A system and method for detection of speed sensor position in an engine comprising speed sensors and a controller having channels each operatively connected to a different one of the speed sensors. A memory stores predetermined sensor position arrangements each identifying, for each one of the channels, a speed sensor connected to the channel, and predetermined engine parameter values each associated with a corresponding predetermined sensor position arrangement. A current engine parameter value is computed on the basis of received input data. The predetermined sensor position arrangements and the predetermined engine parameter values are retrieved from the memory and a predetermined engine parameter value that matches the current engine parameter value is determined. The predetermined sensor position arrangement associated with the predetermined engine parameter value is then identified and, for each one of the channels, the speed sensor currently connected to the channel is determined. | 07-16-2015 |
