  • Publication number: 20240104288
    Abstract: A system for manufacturing an integrated circuit includes a processor coupled to a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store executable instructions. The processor is configured to execute the instructions for generating a layout design of the integrated circuit that has a set of design rules. The generating of the layout design includes generating a set of gate layout patterns corresponding to fabricating a set of gate structures of the integrated circuit, generating a cut feature layout pattern corresponding to a cut region of a first gate of the set of gate structures of the integrated circuit, generating a first conductive feature layout pattern corresponding to fabricating a first conductive structure of the integrated circuit, and generating a first via layout pattern corresponding to a first via. The cut feature layout pattern overlaps a first gate layout pattern of the set of gate layout patterns.

  • Patent number: 10418883
    Abstract: A cover assembly and a brushed motor are provided. The cover assembly includes a mounting portion and a flow guide portion. The mounting portion defines a first opening through the mounting portion along an axial direction of the motor. The flow guide portion includes a top wall disposed at one end thereof away from the mounting portion along the motor axial direction. The fluid guide portion defines a second opening extending to an inner wall surface of the top wall in the motor axial direction. The first opening and the second opening are in flow communication with each other. The flow guide portion further defines a winding flow passage. The flow passage has an inner inlet in flow communication with the second opening and an outer outlet in flow communication with an outside environment. The present invention facilitates absorption of the motor noise and hence reduction of the output noise.
