Filed:

Jun 21, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/471715

Inventors:

George Wang - Chongqing, CN
Pei Lin - Irvine CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 12/14

US Classification:

726024000

Abstract:

A protection system and methodology that restores a computer to a normal state exactly prior to being infected by virus. According to the invention, protection system is installed in a computer system, having a detecting module. The detecting module detects virus, spyware, Trojan or other security threats. The protection system comprises at least a storage space, a searching module and a backup/recovery module. The storage space is used for recoding a message of operation to a file within the computer system. The searching module is coupled to the storage space. The searching module is used for searching the message of the file. The backup/recovery module is coupled to the searching module. The backup/recovery module is used for restoring the computer system to a previous state in accordance with the message.

US Classification:

714006000

Abstract:

A backup/recovery system and methodology that securely protects data in a computer system. According to the invention, in one embodiment of the invention, backup/recovery system is installed in the computer system. The backup/recovery system includes at least a backup unit, a storage means and a recovery unit. The backup unit is used for backing up data of the computer system. The storage means is used for storing the backed up data and at least one file designated in the computer system. The recovery unit is used for retrieving the stored data and recovering the computer system while preserving the designated file. The designated file won't be destroyed.

Pei H. Lin - San Jose CA

Assignee:

VLSI Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G06F 1750

US Classification:

364490

Abstract:

A method for producing an electrical circuit by determining the input-to-output timing of compiled circuit blocks includes steps of determining a signal delay of a component due to physical characteristics of the component. The physical characteristics include at least a capacitance based upon relative placement of the component during compilation of a circuit block. The method further includes steps of determining an input-to-output speed for a circuit block by combining delays due to physical characteristics through alternate paths of the circuit block, and producing a compiled circuit block having a plurality of components by placing the components in the circuit block based on the steps of determining.

Assignee:

VLSI Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G06F 1202

US Classification:

39549704

Abstract:

A block compiler system that allows a user to specify the total number of words and bits per word in a memory structure and to choose among alternative memory structures according to a user-selected criterion. In operation, the system varies the partitioning of memory address lines among column address lines and row address lines. Further, the system varies the internal memory structure according to a selected partitioning of memory address lines among column address lines and row address lines, and optimizes the memory structure based upon higher-level user-selected criteria.

International Classification:

G06F 1560

US Classification:

364490

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to methods to assist designing integrated circuits by verifying that design constraints (e. g. , minimum path width) are satisfied between two arbitrary nodes of a circuit layout. In an exemplary embodiment, a method for designing an integrated circuit layout by verifying that predetermined design constraints are satisfied for an arbitrary path defined by at least two nodes, comprises the steps of labeling all polygons of the integrated circuit layout with a name which corresponds to a layer of the integrated circuit layout in which each polygon is located, creating a file of polygons which includes polygons located along the arbitrary path, and determining whether polygons located along the arbitrary path satisfy predetermined design constraints specified for that path.
