The memory cell circuitry used in the original memory array may utilize two bi-directional passgate transistors which are both used during read and write operations on the memory cell, e.g., where signals can flow across the passgate transistors in two directions. A model of the memory array may be created according to a memory cell model that uses uni-directional passgate transistors. Modeling the memory array with uni-directional circuitry may enable a static timing analysis tool to determine the critical path through the memory array. Once the critical path has been determined from the model of the memory array, a dynamic simulation of the critical path in the original memory array may be performed to accurately determine the timing requirements of the original memory array. | 03-07-2013 |

20160092082 | Visualizing Relationships Between Entities in Content Items - Some embodiments provide a method for displaying relationships in content. From several entities that appear in a set of content items and for which representations are displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI), the method receives a selection of one or more of the entities through the representations in the GUI. For each non-selected entity of a set of non-selected entities of the several entities, the method determines a count of content items in the set of content items in which the one or more selected entities and the non-selected entity appear. The method displays in the GUI a visualization of the representations of the several entities that indicates which of the entities are selected and the counts for each of the set of non-selected entities. | 03-31-2016 |
