    摘要: A method of performing latch up check on an integrated circuit (IC) design that comprises rasterizing a conductor region shape and contact shapes and iteratively expanding the contact shapes within the conductor region shape using a cellular algorithm. Direction values for contact cells can be used to limit the number of neighboring cells which must be explored. In every fourth iteration of the expansion process, corner cells may not be expanded. Reachable areas outside of conductors can also be explored.

    摘要: An apparatus measures a fluid level in a container. A light source emits a light beam. A light sensor can sense the light beam. An optical conduit is arranged in a container for holding fluid. The optical conduit is arranged between the light source and the light sensor along a path of the light beam, such that at least one part of the light beam passes through the optical conduit, and at least an other part of the light beam passes through the fluid when the container holds the fluid. The sensor senses the light beam when a level of the fluid coincides with the one part of the light beam passing through the optical conduit, and the sensor does not sense the light beam when the level of the fluid coincides with the other part of the light beam passing through the fluid due to internal reflection at the fluid level.

    摘要: After finding the shortest conductive signal return-current path for each signal, the invention assesses whether each conductive return-current path is adequate. The method analyzes each shortest conductive signal return-current path and determines if a significant portion of the signal return current flows as displacement current rather than following the conductive current path. A significant displacement current flows when the length of the conductive return-current path that diverges from a signal net is more than a previously defined limit based on the signal transition time. Further, a significant displacement current flows when the overall length of the signal differs from the overall length of the conductive return-current path by more than a previously defined limit based on the signal transition time.

    摘要: A cursor control system where the starting x-axis pixel position of the cursor pattern is determined by decoding the last two bits of the preloaded x-axis address (as determined by a manual control manipulated by the operator). This decoded data produces a signal for controlling the transmission gate multiplexer so as to determine the position where the cursor data stream is inserted into the video data stream.

    摘要: A ring-type oscillator with a plurality of delay cells including differential pairs of MOS transistors. Current sources supply current to each pair, and the magnitude of the current supplied is variable by a control voltage to alter the delay of the MOS devices, thereby to alter the frequency of oscillation. Each delay cell MOS device is connected in series with another MOS device biased into its linear region to act as a load resistance. This load is variable by the control voltage so as to tend to maintain the gain of the delay cells constant with changes in frequency of oscillation.

    摘要: A pulsed precision x-ray source includes a miniaturized internally self-shielding x-ray tube and an integral generator contained in a hand-held housing for generating timed bursts of x-ray having regulated energy level. A control grid and focus electrode within the tube enable precise on-off control of an electron beam directed to an x-ray emitting anode. The integral generator system includes an elongated, U-shaped unitary, molded plastic block mounted in the housing and includes a high voltage transformer having primary and secondary annular windings encased in a transformer portion of the block defining a central opening outside of the block for receiving a transformer core therethrough and, a capacitor-diode voltage multiplier stack connected to the secondary winding and having a positive node connectable to the anode and a negative node connectable to the cathode. A high voltage pulse width modulated switching circuit is connected to the primary annular winding to generate high voltages across said voltage multipler stack in order to control the energy of x-ray put out by the tube. A heater power supply supplies heater current to operate a heater in the tube. A focus element/grid control voltage power supply generates control voltages. A control circuit controls application of the control voltages to the focus element and the grid in order to switch the electron beam on and off in accordance with a preset value.
