US Classification:

705007000

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for strategy science methodology involving computer implementation is provided. The invention includes a well-defined set of procedures for carrying out a full range of projects to develop strategies for clients. One embodiment of the invention produces custom consulting projects that are found at one end of the full range of projects. At the other end of the range are, for example, projects developing strategies from syndicated models. The strategies developed are for single decisions or for sequences of multiple decisions. Some parts of the preferred embodiment of the invention are categorized into the following areas: Team Development, Strategy Situation Analysis, Quantifying the Objective Function, Data Request and Reception, Data Transformation and Cleansing, Decision Key and Intermediate Variable Creation, Data Exploration, Decision Model Structuring, Decision Model Quantification, An Exemplary Score Tuner, Strategy Creation, An Exemplary Strategy Optimizer, An Exemplary Uncertainty Estimator, and Strategy Testing. Each of the sub-categories are described and discussed in detail under sections of the same headings. The invention uses judgment in addition to data for developing strategies for clients.

Assignee:

LSI Logic Corporation - Milpitas CA

International Classification:

G06F 1560

US Classification:

364488

Abstract:

A logic compiler wherein verification of a generated circuit model is performed automatically by comparing the operation of the circuit model with that of a corresponding mathematical behavior model. A novel user interface and circuit model generation means enables the user to obtain, in real time, performance specifications on the circuit selected by the user as well as incurring other benefits.

Appl. No.:

7/927100

International Classification:

H04B 100

US Classification:

381119

Abstract:

A multimedia controller apparatus provides for computer programmed volume control and summing of audio signals in an enhanced multimedia environment. The apparatus is capable of receiving and processing inputs from a CD-ROM FM synthesizer, general MIDI audio, microphone, PCM sampled sound, and telephony systems. From these inputs, it produces outputs for PCM sampled sound, telephony systems, and stereo line-out. Additionally, it provides for the integration of telephonic support functions into a multimedia system. The multimedia controller apparatus comprises a volume control portion for receiving and controlling the volume of a plurality of analog input signals. The volume controlled input signals are then combined by an aggregation portion. A telephony processing portion is also provided for processing the telephony input signals. Stereo outputs, mono outputs, digital samplable outputs, and telephony outputs can be formed from the combined analog and telephony signals by an output portion.

International Classification:

H03K 513
H03K 5159

US Classification:

307603

Abstract:

A periodic sequence of signals is intiated and provided to a counter. During this time, a pulse (PULSE) is generated. Upon reaching a terminal count the pulse is terminated. The pulse is provided to a delay element which receives at its input a signal (s) entering, processed within or exiting a semiconductor device. The pulse and periodic sequence of signals are initiated by an edge detector detecting a trigger signal (TRIGGER), which may be the signal (s) being delayed. The sequence of signals is generated by a circuit element, such as a ring oscillator, and the periodicity of the sequence of signals is related to the inherent switching speed of the semiconductor device technology. A plurality of delay circuits are provided in a semiconductor device for individually delaying a plurality of signals entering, processed within and exiting the device. A library of delay circuits may pre-designed, and stored for implementation, as needed, in semiconductor devices.

International Classification:

G06F 922

US Classification:

395375

Abstract:

A general purpose architecture for a digital microcomputer, which includes a central processing unit, random access memory, user-defined dedicated functions and an optional programmable read only memory. Instructions are fetched either externally or from the optionally ROM. Data can be fetched externally or internally. Each instruction fetched is interpreted by a general-purpose microengine. The architecture is flexible enough to permit the modular addition, deletion and modification of dedicated functions and microinstructions (including changes in execution timing and decoding), as well as the testing of memory independently from the rest of the architecture.

International Classification:

G06F 750

US Classification:

364786

Abstract:

An adder array for adding two or more input addends, whose bit lengths are not necessarily matched, and a method of configuring the adder array are disclosed. The addends are organized according to bit weight, and bits of equal weight are added in adder columns. Carry-outs are introduced into subsequent, higher weight adder columns according to delay. Thereby, the delay associated with the addition of the addends is minimized. Method and apparatus is disclosed.
