| 20100303055 | Method for Assigning Data Messages to Time Slots in a Wireless Data Bus System Having Hidden Subscribers - A method for assigning data messages to time slots in a wireless data bus system having hidden subscribers (“hidden nodes”), wherein each subscriber is initially assigned at least one time slot for exclusive use per transmission cycle and the time slot can be engaged by another subscriber for use in the event of non-use by the subscriber. Moreover, an engagement matrix is provided which records, for each subscriber, those time slots of other subscribers for which engagement is permitted in a data message cycle. In accordance with the invention, the engagement matrix is configured to block at least the engagement of the time slot of another subscriber for a subscriber if it is another subscriber (“hidden node”) that cannot be reached by radio by the subscriber. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110136524 | Energy and Time-Efficient Set-Up of a Wireless Communication System - The invention relates to a method for the wireless communication between a base station and several devices. The base station monitors the non-use of the transmission of a device telegram to the base station in a time range, or in several consecutive time ranges, between two synchronization signals (S) in the communication mode and after a duration (Tping) of non-use emits an identification telegram (GWping). | 06-09-2011 |

| 20090284390 | Operator's Device for the Detection of a Required Sensor or Actuator, and Corresponding Method - There is described an operator's device which communicates in a wireless manner with sensors and/or actuators. Positional data of the sensors/actors as well as the ways to get to the same are stored in the memory of the operator's device. Access data is evaluated and displayed in a program and processing unit of the operator's device in order to find a sensor or actuator required in a system when a signal is received. | 11-19-2009 |

| 20110250924 | Energy-efficient operation of a communication network - A method for wireless communication between a base station and a number of devices is provided, with the devices in each case having a limited energy supply. To establish a connection, the base station sends a sequence of synchronization signals on at least one of its communication channels. The devices in each case listen on their parameterized or unparameterized communication channel within a listening period, which is repeated with a repetition frequency that can be set. Outside the listening period, the device in question is set to an energy-saving mode. The length of the listening period, the repetition frequency and the energy consumption in the energy saving mode are synchronized with each other in such a way that the energy consumption up to the connection setup averaged over time does not exceed the energy consumption during normal operation of the device. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20090282307 | Optimizing test code generation for verification environment - A method of optimizing test code generation is disclosed. The method generally includes the steps of (A) reading from a database (i) a plurality of assertions, (ii) a testbench and (iii) a target code coverage all of a design under test, (B) generating together (i) a plurality of first test vectors to test the assertions and (ii) a plurality of second test vectors applicable to the testbench, (C) identifying one or more redundant test vector sets between the first test vectors and the second test vectors and (D) generating the test code to test the design under test on the testbench using a subset of the first test vectors and the second test vectors, the subset comprising single instances of the redundant test vector sets. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100217564 | ADVANCED PHYSICAL SIMULATOR - A method of physical simulation of an integrated circuit design comprising the steps of (A) reading design information for an integrated circuit from a computer readable storage medium, (B) reading library information and physical design information from the computer readable storage medium, (C) simulating the integrated circuit design based upon the library information and the physical design information using a computer, where the simulation of the integrated circuit design provides signoff accurate results and (D) determining whether the integrated circuit design meets one or more performance goals based upon results of the simulation of the integrated circuit design. | 08-26-2010 |
