Abstract: A worst-case temperature calculation unit calculates, based on heat value information of each layer of a three-dimensional integrated circuit to be designed and stack structure information of the three-dimensional integrated circuit, a worst-case temperature of a layer during operation that is targeted for logic synthesis. A logic synthesis library selection unit selects a library appropriate for the calculated worst-case temperature. A logic synthesis unit performs logic synthesis on the targeted layer with use of the selected library.

Abstract: An acoustic wave element includes a piezoelectric body, first and second interdigital transducer (IDT) electrodes provided on an upper surface of the piezoelectric body, and a first dielectric layer provided on the upper surface of the piezoelectric body to cover the first and second IDT electrodes. The first dielectric layer has a first part directly above the first IDT electrode and a second part directly above the second IDT electrode. The height of an upper surface of the second part of the first dielectric layer is larger than the height of an upper surface of the first part of the first dielectric layer.

Abstract: A library for electronic circuit simulation stores information on electrical characteristics and information on the 3D shape of a flexible substrate. The electrical characteristics of the flexible substrate change in response to changes in the 3D shape. Accordingly, there is no need to execute electromagnetic simulation every time the shape of flexible substrate is changed. This improves the design efficiency.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for achieving reduction in processing load caused when a mobile terminal having two or more interfaces registers flow control information with a network and reduction in traffic of signaling for the registration. According to this technique, a mobile terminal (MN100) has two or more interfaces (IF1 and IF2), registers, with a home agent (HA200), binding information between care-of addresses (CoA1 and CoA2) assigned to each interface and a home address (HoA0) of the MN, and further acquires home addresses (HoA1 and HoA2) exclusively for each interface and to be set for the interface and registers, with the HA, binding information between the HoA exclusively for each interface and a CoA corresponding to the HoA. For a flow desired to be sent and received by using only a specific interface, the HoA and CoA exclusively for the interface are used.

Abstract: A plasma display device which selectively generates address discharge in each display cell in accordance with pixel data based on a video signal in an address period, applies a sustain pulse between row electrodes forming each row electrode pair in a sustain period, and applies, in the sustain period, a discharge timing control pulse to one row electrode of each row electrode pair, so that the discharge timing control pulse partly overlaps with a first sustain pulse in terms of time, which is applied to the other row electrode of each row electrode pair.

Abstract: Provided is a radio communication base station device which can obtain a maximum frequency diversity effect of a downstream line control channel. The device includes: an RB allocation unit (101) which allocates upstream line resource blocks continuous on the frequency axis for respective radio communication mobile stations by the frequency scheduling and generates allocation information indicating which upstream line resource block has been allocated to which radio communication mobile station device; and an arrangement unit (109) which arranges a response signal to the radio communication mobile station device in the downstream line control channels distributed/arranged on the frequency axis while being correlated to the continuous upstream line resource blocks according to the allocation information.
