Synopsys Assigned Patent
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Roughly described, standard SPICE models can be modified by substituting a different stress analyzer to better model the stress adjusted characteristics of a transistor. A first, standard, stress-sensitive, transistor model is used to develop a mathematical relationship between the first transistor performance measure and one or more instance parameters that are available as inputs to a second, stress-insensitive, transistor model. The second transistor model may for example be the same as the first model, with its stress sensitivity disabled. Thereafter, a substitute stress analyzer can be used to determine a stress-adjusted value for the first performance measure, and the mathematical relationship can be used to convert that value into specific values for the one or more instance parameters. These values are then provided to the second transistor model for use in simulating the characteristics of the particular transistor during circuit simulation."

NVIDIA Assigned Patent
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Resources to be used by concurrent threads in a multithreaded processor are allocated based on thread types of the threads, and thread-type-based criteria governing resource allocation decisions are dynamically modified based on feedback information indicating the degree to which various thread types are using the resource.

When an allocation request for a new thread is received, the allocation is made or not based on the new thread's type, the amount of the resource reserved for that type, and the amount currently allocated to threads of that type. If, based on feedback information from the allocation decision, the amount of the resource reserved for one thread type is determined to be insufficient, the reserved amounts are modified to better meet the demand."

Starsight Telecast Assigned Patent
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Screen (10) for a user interface of a television schedule system and process consists of an array (24) of irregular cells (26), which vary in length, corresponding to different television program lengths of one half hour to one-and-one half hours or more. The array is arranged as three columns (28) of one-half hour in duration, and twelve rows (30) of program listings. Some of the program listings overlap two or more of the columns (28) because of their length. Because of the widely varying length of the cells (26), if a conventional cursor used to select a cell location were to simply step from one cell to another, the result would be abrupt changes in the screen (10) as the cursor moved from a cell (26) of several hours length to an adjacent cell in the same row. An effective way of taming the motion is to assume that behind every array (24) is an underlying array of regular cells. By restricting cursor movements to the regular cells, abrupt screen changes will be avoided. With the cursor (32), the entire cell (26) is 3-D highlighted, using a conventional offset shadow (34). The offset shadow (34) is a black bar that underlines the entire cell and wraps around the right edge of the cell. To tag the underlying position--which defines where the cursor (32) is and thus, where it will move next--portions (36) of the black bar outside the current underlying position are segmented, while the current position is painted solid."

AWR Assigned Patent
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "This invention is directed to a methodology of creating and detecting crossings of conductive traces on different layers of an integrated circuit or a conducting trace over a device contact during a system. Values are stored by the system simulator corresponding to the galvanic potential or same "net," and then by a set of rule based instructions the vias are automatically displayed, correct-by-construction, and via connections between the traces, or the trace and device contact, to short circuit the paths. The via structure will not be created if it will short-circuit a conducting trace not associated with the net in question. By connecting traces on different layers using automatically created via structures so as not to short circuit other net traces, errors are eliminated and design cycles reduced when compared to a manual design scheme of inserting via connections. There is a number of useful variations that can be applied to the via structure automatically created. There is also an interactive mode which allows the via to be easily resized by the use of familiar control handles."
