    摘要: The invention relates to a sulphide catalyst for electrochemical reduction of oxygen particularly stable in chemically aggressive environments such as chlorinated hydrochloric acid. The catalyst of the invention comprises a noble metal sulphide single crystalline phase supported on a conductive carbon essentially free of zerovalent metal and of metal oxide phases, obtainable by reduction of metal precursor salts and thio-precursors with a borohydride or other strong reducing agent.

    摘要: In a mail inserter having an envelope movement mechanism to move an envelope into an insertion station and a feeder to move a pack of insert material into an insertion position so that the insert material can be inserted into the envelope, a linear array of optical sensing elements is used to determine the position of one edge of the insert material and another linear array of optical sensing elements is used to determine the position of one edge of the receiving envelope in order to make sure that there is sufficient end clearance between the insert material and the receiving envelope. A stepper motor is used to adjust the envelope position, if the end clearance is outside a predetermined range.

    摘要: A method of and service for optimizing an integrated circuit design to improve manufacturing yield. The invention uses manufacturing data and algorithms to identify areas with high probability of failures, i.e. critical areas. The invention further changes the layout of the circuit design to reduce critical area thereby reducing the probability of a fault occurring during manufacturing. Methods of identifying critical area include common run, geometry mapping, and Voronoi diagrams. Optimization includes but is not limited to incremental movement and adjustment of shape dimensions until optimization objectives are achieved and critical area is reduced.

    摘要: A method (300) of placing a to-be-placed integrated circuit macro (404) adjacent one or more already-placed macros (400) aboard an integrated circuit chip (100). The method includes the step of performing a canonical ordering of the edges of the to-be-placed and already placed macros. Then, an edge constraint vector (500, 526) is generated for each active edge (668) of the already-placed macro(s) and each edge of the to-be-placed macro. Each of the edge constraint vectors of the to-be-placed macro is compared to each edge constraint vector of the active edge(s) using a string matching algorithm so as to determine whether any edges of the to-be-placed macro are compatible with any active edges of the already-placed macro(s). The method may be implemented in a CAD system (600).

    摘要: The current invention provides a modification procedure that reduces errors in integrated circuits due to via shorts while at the same time avoiding the unnesting of the layout design and thereby permitting verification of the layout design by LVS testing tools. The current invention identifies if potentially shorting vias have electrically redundant paths and, if so, creates cloned cells of the original cell but void of the potentially shorting vias. The cloned cell is electrically comparable to the original cell. In addition, each instantiation of the original cell in the shapes data base is replaced with the cloned cell when electrical redundancy is present. Also, the number of vias removed can be minimized or maximized while, at the same time, all via electrical shorts are removed, depending on the design requirements.
