This application discloses a computing system to identify multiple views of cells in a circuit design for selective utilization during analog fault simulation of the circuit design. The views of the cells can include two or more of macromodel design views, schematic design views, or extracted design views that includes parasitic elements extracted from a physical layout of the circuit design. The computing system can prompt generation of multiple netlists, each netlist generated based on a different combination of the identified views of the cells in the circuit design, or a list of macromodels with pin accurate subcircuit wrappers, parse and organize the cells in each netlist or the list of macromodels, identify one of the cells to inject with a defect, and selectively simulate portions from a plurality of the netlists based, at least in part, on the identified one of the cells to inject with the defect.

Analog fault simulation control with multiple circuit representations

A TV-set is equipped with HDMI and USB connections that allow it to display and run audio-video content from a variety of conventional consumer devices. The TV-set is further equipped to provide a secure HDMI-USB interface that will allow the transfer of licensed high definition content and Internet subscriber services. Such secure HDMI-USB interface also enables a selection of proprietary application modules to be attached. Downloadable user interface templates, much like XML style sheets, are rendered to a user interface displayed on the screen. These are associated with corresponding thumbnails and URI's that allow a user to surf through lists and catalogs of materials, and then to play them in the appropriate formats and provide the machine with a customized controller. A remote commander is simplified, yet expanded to control all the attached devices through interactions with the user interface. The functions of the remote commander's keys change depending on where the user is navigating and what device is being controlled, similar to so-called soft-keys.

A home entertainment network has a computer with a multi-DVD changer which holds plural DVDs onto which content from an hard disk drive (HDD) can be transferred for storage. Also, DVD content can be ripped to the HDD, and multiple copies of home videos and photographs on the HDD can be made onto several disks simultaneously.

A Wireless Connection Utility (WCU) provides a unified user experience for managing various types of wireless connections, including Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, and Bluetooth networks. The WCU functions as a gateway for a user of a computer to monitor the computer's wireless network status, to switch wireless connections, to configure wireless connection settings, and to diagnose wireless connection problems through a Wireless Helper Utility (WHU). The WCU thus provides a unified U/I layer on the top of the existing operating system components for ease of use.
