Disclosed are methods, systems and apparatus for automatically placing decoupling capacitors in an integrated circuit to compensate for voltage drops that might otherwise occur in a power grid. In one embodiment of the invention, the method includes generating one or more regions of the integrated circuit design, with each region having one or more cells, determining an amount of decoupling capacitance required in each region of the integrated circuit design by analyzing each cell in the region, and adding sufficient decoupling capacitor cells to the region to compensate for the potential voltage drop.

Systems and methods to optimize a layout based on the yield analysis is disclosed. The method includes generating an integrated circuit layout having two or more layers of wire interconnect to form net segments and having one or more via contact layers to couple net segments in the wire interconnect together. The method further includes performing a yield analysis of the net segments in the integrated circuit layout and displaying the net segments with a visual depiction of the yield analysis using multiple levels of opacity to reflect yield scores of the net segments in the integrated circuit layout.

A system and method to use bar codes to facilitate obtaining information as to a product or service are provided. A smart phone, with a downloaded scanning application, can scan a bar code associated with a product or service. Information can be extracted from the code by the phone and the scanning application and forwarded automatically to a web server, via one or more computer networks. The server can analyze the information and extract other, responsive data from its data base. The responsive data can be downloaded to the scanning device for use with the product or service.

A resistive memory device having an in-situ nitride initiation layer is disclosed. The nitride initiation layer is formed above the first electrode, and the metal oxide switching layer is formed above the nitride initiation layer to prevent oxidation of the first electrode. The nitride initiation layer may be a metal nitride layer that is formed by atomic layer deposition in the same chamber in which the metal oxide switching layer is formed. The nitride initiation layer and metal oxide switching layer may alternatively be formed in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) chamber or a physical vapor deposition (PVD) chamber.

In some embodiments of the present invention, methods of using one or more small spot showerhead apparatus to deposit materials using CVD, PECVD, ALD, or PEALD on small spots in a site isolated, combinatorial manner are described. The small spot showerheads may be configured within a larger combinatorial showerhead to allow multi-layer film stacks to be deposited in a combinatorial manner.
摘要:
A windshield wiper assembly includes a pair of leaf spring elements supported generally parallel to each other with a space therebetween, a flexible blade supported within the space between the leaf spring elements, a bracket fixed to the intermediate portion of the pair of leaf spring elements and supporting said pair of leaf spring elements to provide the space therebetween, the bracket including a pair of pressure distribution tabs, and a bracket cover connected at opposite sides of the bracket, the bracket cover having a skirt extending below the bracket to cover a portion of the pair of leaf spring elements at the intermediate portion.
摘要:
A backing strip for a windshield wiper assembly includes a pair of rails. Each of the pair of rails includes a body portion and a detent portion. The detent portion includes a cut-out on each side thereof. The cut-outs form at least a pair of hooks on each side of said detent portion. The cut-out on one side of the detent portion of each of said rails is for receiving a claw of the windshield wiper assembly and the hooks on the opposite side of the detent portion of each of the rails are for engaging a windshield wiper blade of the windshield wiper assembly.

A windshield wiper arm bracket includes a pair of side walls. Each of said side walls include at least one centrally located pin arm receiving hole formed therein. The bracket also includes a post attaching the pair of side walls together. The post is for receiving a pin arm adaptor thereon. The bracket also includes an attachment arm formed on a bottom of each of the pair of side walls. The attachment arms are for connecting the bracket to a windshield wiper assembly. An adaptor for a windshield wiper arm bracket includes a top portion and a web portion. The web portion includes a central aperture formed therein. The central aperture includes a first portion for receiving a post of the windshield wiper arm bracket and a second aperture for receiving a pin arm of a windshield wiper arm.
