Patent ID: 7236999

Claim:
A system for computing an output interval comprising: a component for producing a first result from a conditional selection using a first operand, a second operand, and a third operand, the operands respectively including a second input interval lower-point, a first input interval lower-point, and a first input interval upper-point; a component for producing a second result from the conditional selection using the first operand, the second operand, and the third operand, the operands respectively including a second input interval upper-point, the first input interval upper-point, and the first input interval lower-point; a component for producing a third result from a conditional division using the first operand, the second operand, and the third operand, the operands respectively including the first result, the second input interval upper-point, and the second input interval lower-point; a component for producing a fourth result from the conditional division using the first operand, the second operand, and the third operand, the operands respectively including the second result, the second input interval lower-point, and the second input interval upper-point; and a component for producing the output interval including an output interval lower-point and an output interval upper-point, the output interval lower-point comprising the third result and the output interval upper-point comprising the fourth result.
