An apparatus, a method, and a computer program are provided for the generation of constant incremental increases while changing core clock frequencies. In computer systems, oftentimes frequency changes are useful. Maintaining the clocking ability of the computer system, though, can be a difficult task. To maintain the time keeping ability, time base logic is utilized with the free-running clock, which can be frequency limited. However, a plurality of communication channels in conjunction with an adder system is employed to effectively adjust for an ever increasing frequency to allow for a effective timekeeping regardless of the core frequency.

A simple, approximate power optimization in connection with automatic large scale circuit design using a cell library is provided. The cell library of the present invention provides active region information for each cell, and preferably also provides conventional parameters such as cell physical area and cell performance information. Typically, several cells having differing parameters correspond to each cell function provided by the library. A cost function is defined which depends on active region information, and can also depend on physical area and performance. A cell design including cells selected from the library is optimized by substitution of functionally equivalent cells from the library to minimize the cost function. Minimization of active region area provides a simple way to approximately minimize power consumption. Optionally, a second optimization can be performed with a higher fidelity power model using the approximately power-minimized design as a starting point.

A light emitting diode incorporating an active emitting layer (14) overlying a transparent substrate (10) is provided with a reflective diffraction grating (30) on the bottom surface of the substrate. Emitted light passing downwardly through the substrate is diffracted outwardly toward edges (21) of the substrate and passes out of the die through the edges. This effect enhances the external quantum efficiency of the diode.

The present invention provides for supporting an on chip-timer facility and, more particularly, to the generation of a constant time incremental increase while changing core mesh-clock frequency. A latch is coupled to the output of a first free-running clock. An inverter is coupled to the output of the first latch. At least one other secondary latch is coupled to the output of the first latch. An edge detector is coupled to the output of the secondary latch. An incrementer or decrementer is coupled to the output of the edge detector. A memory is coupled to the output of the incrementer or decrementer.

A locking device for locking a heat-dissipating member securely in position on the housing of a CPU is provided. The locking device includes a flexible securing piece which is an integral piece including an elongated flexible middle portion having one end formed into a first fastening portion and the other end formed into a coupling portion. The first fastening portion is formed with a first fastening hole, and the coupling portion is formed with an angled portion and a slot extending from the angled portion to near the hook-shaped portion. Further, the locking device includes a pressable fastening piece which includes a second fastening portion having a second fastening hole; a pair of hook-shaped pieces linked to the second fastening portion; a stopper linked to the hook-shaped pieces; and a press portion linked to the second fastening portion; wherein the hook-shaped pieces and the stopper are coupled to the slot in the coupling portion of the flexible securing piece. An elastic member has a first end connected to the flexible securing piece and a second end connected to the pressable fastening piece. The locking device can be easily and effortlessly mounted on a CPU mount for locking a heat-dissipating member on the CPU mount. It is also adjustable in length so that it can be mounted on CPU mounts of various dimensions for locking a heat-dissipating member on the CPU mount.
