Filed:

Dec 6, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/016232

Inventors:

Ross A. Donelly - Sunnyvale CA
William C. Naylor - San Jose CA
Michael Fu - San Jose CA

Assignee:

Synopsys, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G06F 1750

US Classification:

716 10, 716 13, 716 14, 716 12, 716 1

Abstract:

A computer implemented process for the automatic creation of integrated circuit (IC) geometry including a multiple pass process flow using multiple passes of direct timing driven placement after a first pass of non-direct timing driven placement. First, a high level description of the circuit design may be synthesized. Next, a non-direct timing driven placement process may place the design. Then the placed design may be routed. Alternatively, routability may be estimated. After routing, a modified design may be resynthesized. The resynthesized design may then be placed according to a direct timing driven placement process. This sequence may be repeated several times.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

7071041

Abstract:

A model and system employing the model provides an organized structure for storing, displaying, and navigating content data regarding instruments for market driven industries (i.e., securities). A Market Research Model (MRM) paradigm is used to represent elemental concepts, a plurality of specific classes of entities form the MRM, and an interface is used to assemble, maintain, and interact with the model. Information may be added to the model by a research provider and provided to an end user on a subscription basis. The user is provided with an interconnected, navigable model of an item of interest for research and decision-making support.

International Classification:

H04L 29/08
H04L 29/06
H04N 21/4363
H04N 21/43

Abstract:

Described are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method, or computer program product embodiments for controlling streaming of media content. An embodiment operates by halting a presentation of future content from a buffer upon determining that the buffer is exhausted of content to present. The embodiment includes receiving one or more packets over a network connection, the one or more packets including media information corresponding to a first portion of streaming media content, in which the first portion corresponds to a second portion of the streaming media content. The one or more packets in a buffer are stored as buffered content. Responsive to determining that the network connection is not experiencing a burst condition, the buffer is trimmed. Then, presentation of buffered content is resumed and the first portion is caused to be presented in sync with the second portion.

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for flexible output of streaming media. An embodiment operates by receiving, at a media server, media over a network. Output media, corresponding to the received media, is streamed to a display device. The output media includes a video component and an audio component. A command is received. Responsive to the command, the streaming of the video component to the display device is discontinued. A streaming of the video component is begun to a mobile device at a point in the video component corresponding where the video was discontinued.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/08
G06Q 30/02

Abstract:

The present invention relates to systems and methods for optimizing bidding in a business-to-business environment. Initially the observed outcomes for n deals are received, and the belief parameters for these n deals are calculated. The Bayes-greedy price is then calculated and presented to a buyer. The buyer's response is collected and an optimal variance parameter based on the buyer's response is generated. The belief parameters for these n+1 deals are also updated. This process may be repeated for additional deals.
