Abstract:
A method for simulating large circuits in full-scale. To enhance the simulation efficiency, subcircuits are extracted from a circuit and thence a hierarchical structure is established using the extracted subcircuits. Subsequently, the circuit is partitioned and a current-voltage table for each subcircuit is dynamically generated. A transient analysis of the circuit is preformed at each incremental time step and a recursive latency check is preformed from the top to the bottom level of the hierarchical structure to determine the active part of the circuit. Using the current-voltage curves, a portion of the conductance matrix corresponding to the active part is rebuild at each incremental time step, which significantly reduces the simulation time.

Abstract:
A ferroelectric device that comprises a polarizing thin film of BaMF. sub. 4 deposited on a substrate. Ba is barium, M is one of the metals of the group consisting of iron (FE), manganese (Mn), cobolt (Co), nickel (Ni), magnesium (Mg), and zinc (Zn). The substrate is silicon, sapphire, or gallium arsenide. A non-volatile NDRO and DRO memory cell and methods for depositing the thin film. A method of depositing bismuth titanate on a substrate are described.
Methods And Systems For Selecting Content For A Personalized Video
A method of generating a personalized video for a user of a social networking service. For a plurality of images associated with the user, respective first metrics are determined for respective images of the plurality of images based on one or more predefined image-content criteria, a first set of images is selected from the plurality of images based at least in part on the respective first metrics, and the personalized video is populated with the first set of images. The method further includes providing the personalized video to the user for viewing.
