| 20110055777 | Verification of Soft Error Resilience - An efficient method for selecting a minimal and statistically relevant set of SER sensitive logic devices critical to the SER robustness for a design, through identification by device type, identification nomenclature, connectivity and context. The minimal set of devices comprise the set of fault injection test points using a conventional fault injection test verification environment to establish an SER induced failure rate a logic design. The selection method affords a design independent means to evaluate any design regardless of the origin, source language or documentation by working at the common logic device level “gate-level” netlist format for the design data. The selected set of devices is distilled from the design data by successively filtering the design through a series of heuristic rule-based device identifier computer programs that group and annotate the devices into specific database records. These records are then used to organize the fault injection device test set by test behavior and relevance. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20090138629 | Utilizing Programmable Channels for Allocation of Buffer Space and Transaction Control in Data Communications - A control mechanism for data bus communications employs channels to which bus transactions are assigned, each channel having independent flow control. The control mechanism enforces an ordering algorithm among channels, whereby at least some transactions may pass other transactions. Channel attributes are programmable to vary the ordering conditions. Preferably, each channel is allocated its own programmable buffer area. The control mechanism independently determines, for each channel, whether buffer space is available and enforces flow control independently for each channel accordingly. Flow control is preferably credit-based, credits representing buffer space or some other capacity of a receiver to receive data. Preferably, the flow control mechanism comprises a central interconnect module controlling internal communications of an integrated circuit chip. | 05-28-2009 |

| 20100287110 | ELECTRONIC EMPLOYEE SELECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - An automated employee selection system can use a variety of techniques to provide information for assisting in selection of employees. For example, pre-hire and post-hire information can be collected electronically and used to build an artificial-intelligence based model. The model can then be used to predict a desired job performance criterion (e.g., tenure, number of accidents, sales level, or the like) for new applicants. A wide variety of features can be supported, such as electronic reporting. Pre-hire information identified as ineffective can be removed from a collected pre-hire information. For example, ineffective questions can be identified and removed from a job application. New items can be added and their effectiveness tested. As a result, a system can exhibit adaptive learning and maintain or increase effectiveness even under changing conditions. | 11-11-2010 |
