20090285375PROTOCOL INDEPENDENT TELEPHONY CALL LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT SCHEME - A method of telephone call management in process of service development that allows a user to model and create telephone call management schemes independent of telecommunications protocols and network layer details. The method of the invention operates by creating an abstract model of a telephone call life-cycle that is converted, using a set of communication threads, into executable code. Models in accordance with the method of the invention are constructed using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for creating and developing telecom services that embodies the Telecom Service Domain Specific Language (TS-DSL) which is implemented as a Unified Modeling Language (UML) extension for the telecom domain. By this method, individuals without specialized knowledge of telecom related software programming and protocols can successfully design and implement telecom services that manages calls. The ease of implementation of the method also reduces design time and, therefore, time to market of the finished product.11-19-2009
20090285376METHOD AND TOOLING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TELECOM SERVICES - A method of telecom software and service development that allows a user to model and create telecom services independent of telecommunications protocols and network layer details. The method of the invention operates by creating an abstract model of a desired telecom service or services that is converted, using a set of extensible transformations, into executable code. Models in accordance with the method are constructed using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for creating and developing telecom services that is embodied in the Telecom Service Domain specific Language (TS-DSL)11-19-2009

20090077506Simultaneous Multi-Layer Fill Generation - Techniques are disclosed for optimizing the pattern density in the circuit layout design of a circuit layer. A layer in circuit design is analyzed to define empty regions that can be filled with fill polygons (referred to hereafter as “fill” regions). Next, a pattern of fill polygons is generated. After the fill polygons have been defined, the layout design for the layer is divided into separate areas or “windows,” and a target density for each window is determined. Once this target density for the window has been determined, the fill polygons required to most closely approach this target density are generated and added to the circuit layout design. This process may be repeated with progressively different (e.g., smaller) fill polygons, until each window meets or exceeds both the specified minimum density and complies with the specified maximum density gradient. Additionally, some implementations may allow a user to simultaneously optimize the density of multiple layers of a circuit by adding fill polygons to multiple layers of a circuit design simultaneously. Representations of sections of a multilayer fill structure will then be added to corresponding layers the circuit design until a specified target density is met.03-19-2009
20090106715Programmable Design Rule Checking - An analog design-rule-check tool analyzes a microdevice design, such as an integrated circuit design, to identify occurrences of geometric elements that share a specified relationship. When the tool identifies such an occurrence of these geometric elements, it will associate or “cluster” these geometric elements together into an identifiable unit. For specified “clusters” of geometric elements, the analog design-rule-check tool will then determine the value of a measurement or measurements required by a user. Once the analog design-rule-check tool has determined the necessary measurement values, it will use those values to evaluate the function describing a model.04-23-2009
20090319579Electronic Design Automation Process Restart - Various implementations of the invention provide the ability to extract and compare attributes for individual layout objects, and/or provide support for user-defined properties, and/or provide for fast data retrieval, and/or provide connectivity-awareness, and/or provide an optimized framework for large hierarchical designs, and/or provide a seamless interface with a standard set of layout processing operations, and/or provide the ability to run a layout processing rule incrementally, and/or provide the ability to more fully analyze results of the layout processing. In further examples of the invention, the ability to save and analyze design properties to any layout design processing work flow is provided.12-24-2009

20090059714GRAVITY FLOW PROCESSOR FOR PARTICULATE MATERIALS - The present invention relates to purge vessel apparatuses and methods for processing particulate material composed of powder particles. Some such purge vessel apparatuses include a housing having first and second opposite ends and an inner surface defining a material path from the first end to the second end. Some such purge vessel apparatuses also include a gas exposure mechanism that is adapted to expose particulate material on the material path to a processing gas. Some such purge vessel apparatuses further include an agitating mechanism adapted to disrupt and/or inhibit formation of gas channels and/or to disrupt and/or inhibit formation of material flow channels by agitating particulate material on the material path, thereby exposing substantially all of the powder particles to the processing gas, while substantially maintaining mass flow. Several illustrative purge vessel apparatuses and method are disclosed for processing particulate material composed of powder particles.03-05-2009
