Amplification, filtering and processing methods and apparatus are described in conjunction with analytical tools for beat detection and display.

A computer implemented sales transaction tool and associated method of use is disclosed. This includes at least one processor configured to receive sales transaction information and programmed to provide the following functionality: a series of control functions that can be selectively activated by input to the processor for creating at least one subset of the sales transaction information, a plurality of graphical representations that are generated based on the selected subset of sales transaction information, and displaying at least one graphical representation of the plurality of graphical representations on an electronic display associated with the processor. Graphical representations of sales transaction information may include a slope and scatter diagram of sales transaction information, a waterfall chart, waterfall transactional analysis, a time series chart, a price sensor, a margin sensor, a break-even analysis graph and a bubble chart. There are graphical representations to evaluate opportunity of moving low margin products to average margins of comparable products and determining value for products having a single customer.

A device for modeling an integrated enterprise includes a first tool for constructing a model of the integrated enterprise and a second tool for analyzing calls, contained in the constructed model, between applications of the integrated enterprise and a database shared thereby. The call analysis tool identifies data attribute imbalances in calls between the applications of the integrated enterprise and the shared database. Data attribute imbalances result if the calls attempt to consume data which was never produced or if the calls produce data which is never consumed. The call analysis tool also generates producer/consumer maps of the data attributes used in the model, producer exception reports which identify data attributes which are consumed but never produced and consumer exception reports which identify data attributes which are produced but never consumed.

The invention provides a digital marketplace in which the members of the commercial real estate and related business community can continuously interact and facilitate transactions by efficiently exchanging accurate and standardized information. An embodiment provides a system and method for providing communication and analytical tools that interface with a commercial real estate database and support commercial real estate transactions between parties. These communication and analytical tools can include: 1) a survey tool; 2) a commercial real estate transaction tool; 3) a tour scheduling tool; 4) an activity summary tool; 5) a tool for analyzing commercial real estate data; and 6) a map search tool.

A unified program analysis framework that facilitates the analysis of complex multi-language software systems, analysis reuse, and analysis comparison, by employing techniques such as program translation and automatic results mapping, is presented. The feasibility and effectiveness of such a framework are demonstrated using a sample application of the framework. The comparison yields new insights into the effectiveness of the techniques employed in both analysis tools. These encouraging results yield the observation that such a unified program analysis framework will prove to be valuable both as a testbed for examining different language analysis techniques, and as a unified toolset for broad program analysis.

The present invention is a computer system and a method for gathering, processing and analysis of network information resulting in presentation and visualization of packet networks in the form of individual virtual flows, sometimes also called connections or sessions, containing their statistical characteristics in a time-sampled dynamics. The system, deployed as a separate device or co-hosted with other network devices, collects and processes information from all valid packets in network, classifies and maps gathered statistics to the statistics of relevant virtual flows. The statistical information is further processed by the system to provide near-real presentation, as well as stored in a searchable database for future analyses. The invention to be used by network engineers and administrators as a tool for a near real-time control of network traffic, as an analytical tool for solving network bottlenecks, network performance optimization and troubleshooting analyses, cutting costs by optimizing network layout, appropriate organization of traffic and intelligent configuration of QoS, routers and other network devices.

The invention is a computer implemented method that allows a user to search a text for specific words (e.g. words found in a user-defined library), visually identify any such words found in the text, and have at their fingertips a utility for further exploration of each identified word. The utility, sometimes herein called an ultralink utility, allows a wide variety of options for further exploration of the identified word. The user thereby saves time in explorations; in addition the utility can assist in directing the user to inquiries which may be important for the user.

A method and a device for detecting an analyte, including a substrate having a chemically selective surface; and a fluidic system disposed on the substrate, the manifold having at least one fluid path in communication with at least a discrete region of the surface, wherein the one fluid path and the discrete region together define a contained sample region on the surface. The fluidic system has a removable portion, wherein the removal of the removable portion of the fluidic system renders the discrete region directly interrogatable by a surface-based analytical tool.

A circuit analysis tool is provided, enabled with software instructions, for minimizing circuit crosstalk. The instructions provide a first circuit connected to an output mode, having a last gate with a plurality of inputs and an output. The instructions calculate a first circuit victim net delay range (timing window) having a minimum delay (Vmin) and a maximum delay (Vmax). A second circuit is provided having an output connected to the output node to supply an aggressor net delay range (A1) having a minimum delay (A1min) and a maximum delay (A1max). The aggressor net delay range at least partially overlaps the victim net delay range. Without increasing the value of Vmax (critical path timing), the first circuit victim net delay range is shrunk, thereby minimizing crosstalk between the first and second circuits without an increase in first circuit maximum signal delay.

A runtime system implemented in accordance with the present invention provides an application platform for parallel-processing computer systems. Such a runtime system enables users to leverage the computational power of the parallel-processing computer systems to accelerate/optimize numeric and array-intensive computations in their application programs. A profiling tool is used to collect, analyze, and visualize the performance data of an application in connection with its execution on a parallel-processing computer system through the runtime system. This profiling tool greatly enhances an application developer's ability to understand how an application is executed on the parallel-processing computer system and fine-tune the application to achieve high performance.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to interactively displaying account activity.
