| 20090077426 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING COMMUNICATION ERRORS RESULTING FROM RESET SKEW - An electronic system includes a counter and a first component. The first component includes a reset input configured to receive a reset event, an interface to a communications interface coupleable to a second component, an error detection module configured to initiate the counter in response to detecting an error in a first communication from the second component, and an event logging module. The event logging module is configured to store a first indicator representative of the counter value of the counter in response to receiving the reset event via the reset input and configured to store a second indicator representative of the error at the communications interface. The counter is initiated at the first component in response to detecting an error in a first communication from the second component. A counter value of the counter is determined in response to detecting a reset event at the first component subsequent to detecting the error in the first communication. A first indicator representative of the counter value and a second indicator representative of the error in the first communication is stored at the electronic system. | 03-19-2009 |

| 20120254183 | Method and System for Clustering Data Points - Systems and methods for clustering a group of data points based on a measure of similarity between each pair of data points in the group are provided. A pairwise similarity function can be estimated for each pair of data points in the group. A clustering algorithm can be executed to create clusters and associate data points with the clusters using the pairwise similarity function. The algorithm can be iterated multiple times until a stopping condition is reached in order to reduce variance in the output of the algorithm. The pairwise similarity function for each pair of data points can be updated between iterations of the algorithm and the results of each iteration can be aggregated. The data in each data point associated with a cluster can be consolidated into a consolidated data point. | 10-04-2012 |
