The present invention is directed to a timing abstraction and partitioning strategy for integrated circuit design. According to one aspect of the invention, a method comprising identifying one or more target for which a communication signal is intended, identifying one or more other target which may benefit from receipt of the communication signal, and developing a multi-lobe beampattern to transmit the communication signal to the intended target and the identified one or more other target. One or more dimensions, other than the represented dimensions, are evaluated to identify one or more reasons underlying a first insight of the one or more insights, and the one or more reasons are output. The apparatus is adapted to be disposed between the integrated circuit chip and a chip socket, such that the pins extending from the integrated circuit chip may be inserted through the printed circuit device and into the chip socket. The voice authentication component can authenticate the voice of the user using the response to the instruction including a response to the first instruction to recite the one or more non-language words.
