Abstract:
A semiconductor chip includes a row of cells, with each of the cells including a VDD line and a VSS line. All VDD lines of the cells are connected as a single VDD line, and all VSS lines of the cells are connected as a single VSS line. No double-patterning full trace having an even number of G0 paths exists in the row of cells, or no double-patterning full trace having an odd number of G0 paths exists in the row of cells.
Abstract:
A mechanism for adjusting an elevation angle of an LCD includes a base, a U-shaped locking arm, a pawl, a release button, an LCD, two rotation shafts and return springs. The base is disposed with a lower casing and a slot. The U-shaped locking arm is defined with an L-shaped hole. The pawl extends through the L-shaped hole and the slot. The release button connects to the U-shaped locking arm. The LCD is disposed with an upper casing. Teeth are respectively disposed at two ratchet arcs of the upper casing and abut against the pawl. The rotation shafts are pivotally disposed at the U-shaped locking arm, the upper casing and the lower casing. The upper casing and the angular relationship between the LCD and the base are restricted by the return springs. When the release button is operated, the angle of elevation of the LCD is adjustable.
Abstract:
This invention discloses a method for sanity checking integrated circuit (IC) designs based on one or more predefined sub-circuits with at least one predefined checking criteria, the method comprising automatically reading one or more netlists, identifying one or more sub-circuits in the netlists isomorphic to at least one of predefined sub-circuits, identifying one or more device parameters for sanity checking the identified sub-circuits, and comparing the identified device parameters against the predefined checking criteria.
Abstract:
A connector for electrically connecting a terminal board includes a base having a plurality of contact terminals extending through a rear frame of the base which is received in a case so that the terminal board can be inserted through an elongated hole in the case to contact with the contact terminals. Two release plates extend through two slots defined in two side frames of the base and each has a hook so as to hook respective ones of two recesses of the terminal board. A spring is connected between the two release plates so that when the two release plates are pushed toward each other, the two hooks arc disengaged from the recesses of the terminal board and the connector is easily removed from the terminal board.
Abstract:
An integrated, secured point-of-sale (POS) system comprises a cabinet housing computer electronics, a keyboard, a monitor, and a customer display assembled in a modular construction. The cabinet has a cover that is connected to a base using a pair of release rods for easy assembly and disassembly without the use of tools. The keyboard is attached to the cabinet with quick-release connectors. Security locks are provided in the keyboard to protect proprietary data stored in the POS system. The cabinet includes a printer platform for supporting a printer and a display platform for supporting the monitor and customer display. The monitor is connected to the display platform for two-dimensional displacement using a skewed rod extending from the monitor and cooperating with a guide slot in the display platform or vice versa. A monitor mounting mechanism employing a simple yet efficient pin-and-slot connection provides precise tilt-and-swivel motion of the monitor relative to the display platform. The monitor is connected to the monitor mounting mechanism using quick-release clips or couplings. The customer display is spring-mounted through a shock-absorbing support mechanism to the display platform. The support mechanism provides for quick-release height adjustment, rotation, and horizontal sliding motion of the customer display. The monitor and keyboard can be separated from the cabinet without the use of tools. The cabinet cover can be removed to access the computer electronics housed inside the cabinet without the need for tools or turning the cabinet over to undo screws.
Abstract:
A security electric cash drawer includes a shell having two inner lateral walls, a front opening, a bottom opening and a front securing plate, a bottom plate having a front bent end and inserted into the shell to be held secured to the shell for covering the bottom opening, a pair of tracks respectively mounted on the two inner lateral walls, and a drawer slidable along the pair of tracks and inserted into the shell from the front opening.Further, the security electric cash drawer includes a securing piece inserted from an inside of the shell for fixing the bottom plate in place in order to avoid the cash drawer from being externally disassembled. This invention also provides a tray having a plurality of detachable clips for conveniently managing kinds of cashes.

Abstract:
An apparatus comprises two n-type metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices formed next to each other. Each n-type MOS device further includes a pair of face-to-face diodes formed in an isolation ring. A method of modeling the apparatus comprises reusing four-terminal MOS device models in standard cell libraries and combining the four-terminal MOS device model and the isolation ring model into a 4T MOS plus isolation ring model. The method of modeling the apparatus further comprises adding a dummy device between a body contact of the first n-type MOS device and a body contact of the second n-type MOS device.
