International Classification:

G06F017/50

US Classification:

716 4, 716 1, 716 5, 716 6

Abstract:

An apparatus, system and method of automatically computing power consumption estimation of a chip are provided. The apparatus, system and method include determining all circuit blocks or macros embedded in the chip and retrieving from a file, into which pre-generated power consumption values of the macros are stored, the power consumption value of each macro. After doing so, the power consumption value of the chip is automatically computed. The apparatus, system and method also compute a desired power consumption estimation of the chip as well as a plurality of power densities. A desired power consumption estimation is based on a desired voltage and a desired frequency while a power density is power used in a certain area. Further, the apparatus, system and method reproduces the floorplan of the chip and represents each area within the chip by a different color to illustrate hot spots and cool spots.

Inventors:

Michael Wang - Morganville NJ, US

International Classification:

G09G005/00

US Classification:

345/179000

Abstract:

A pen-like apparatus is used to rotate a computer mouse ball. The pen-like apparatus may be comprised of a plurality of balls, wherein the rotation of the balls controls the movement of a computer cursor on a computer monitor. A device may be provided for substantially fixing a computer mouse at a location. A device may be provided for rotating a ball of the computer mouse, while the computer mouse is substantially fixed at the location. A computer keyboard is also provided comprising a typing area, an area in which a computer mouse can be fixed in a location, the computer mouse including a ball, and an area which is responsive to the movement of an implement so that the movement of the implement causes movement of the ball of the computer mouse and thereby controls a computer cursor on a computer monitor.

Inventors:

Michael Wang - Morganville NJ, US

International Classification:

H04B010/00

US Classification:

398/140000

Abstract:

The present invention, in one or more embodiments, provides an apparatus comprising an optical transmitter and an optical receiver located in a pen shaped housing. The apparatus may be further comprised of a processor.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02

US Classification:

705 1453, 705 1466

Abstract:

The systems and methods described herein may be used to recommend an item to a consumer. The methods may comprise determining, based on a collaborative filtering algorithm, a consumer relevance value associated with an item, and transmitting, based on the consumer relevance value, information associated with the item to a consumer. A collaborative filtering algorithm may receive as an input at least one of: a transaction history associated with the consumer, a demographic of the consumer, a consumer profile, a type of transaction account, a transaction account associated with the consumer, a period of time that the consumer has held a transaction account, a size of wallet, a share of wallet, and/or the like. The method may further comprise generating a ranked list of items based upon a plurality of consumer relevance values, transmitting a ranked list of items to a consumer, and/or re-ranking a ranked list of items based upon a merchant goal.

G06Q 20/20

Abstract:

At least some embodiments are directed to a system that receives data generated when point of sale terminals are used. The point of sale terminals are associated with multiple merchants. The system generates a quantitative data from the received data. The system computes a quality of service score of a first merchant based on the quantitative data. The system generates an item data structure storing values that correlate multiple users with multiple merchants at least based on the quality of service score. The system determines users that are shared by multiple merchants and computes a customer relevance value associated with the user and the first merchant. The system outputs a user-specific recommendation associated with a second merchant to a user computing device, wherein the user-specific recommendation is computed at least in part based on the customer relevance value associated with the first merchant.
