20080255813 | Probabilistic regression suites for functional verification - Methods, apparatus and systems are provided that enable the generation of random regression suites for verification of a hardware or software design to be formulated as optimization problems. Solution of the optimization problems using probabilistic methods provides information on which set of test specifications should be used, and how many tests should be generated from each specification. In one mode of operation regression suites are constructed that use the minimal number of tests required to achieve a specific coverage goal. In another mode of operation regression suites are constructed so as to maximize task coverage when a fixed number of tests are run or within a fixed cost. | 10-16-2008 |

20150115547 | Seal with Tabs for Retaining Energizing Member - A seal for sealing between inner and outer bodies includes a generally annular sealing member having inner and outer circumferential sealing surfaces, at least one of the inner and outer sealing surfaces being sealingly engageable with one of the inner body outer surface and the outer body inner surface. The sealing member further has an interior surface at least partially defining a generally annular interior cavity, an opening extending into the cavity, and at least one locking tab extending from the interior surface and into the cavity. An annular biasing member is disposed within the sealing member cavity and configured to bias the at least one sealing surface generally toward the at least body surface. The biasing member has at least one engagement recess configured to receive at least a portion of the at least one locking tab such that the biasing member is retained within the cavity. | 04-30-2015 |
