  • Publication number: 20240146806
    Abstract: An intermediate device 10A includes a transfer unit 11 that transfers a request including data to be transmitted from a local 30 to a remote 50, and a generation unit 12 that generates a pseudo-response to the request and returns the pseudo-response to the local 30. The intermediate device 10B includes a discard unit 13 that discards a response to the request from the remote 50. An intermediate device 20B includes a generation unit 22 that generates a pseudo-request based on an initial request for requesting data transmission from the local 30 to the remote 50 and transmits the pseudo-request to the remote 50, and a transfer unit 24 that transfers a response including data to be transmitted from the remote 50 to the local 30. The intermediate device 20A includes the discard unit 21 that discards a subsequent request from the local 30.

  • Patent number: 10818626
    Abstract: Provided is connection wiring capable of inhibiting connection defects between bumps and pads at the time of semiconductor chip mounting and also allowing an increase in the number of pads. In an area between a pad row in any stage and a pad row in an adjacent stage, a first line 31 is disposed so as to pass under an adjacent second line 32, or a second line 32 is disposed so as to pass over an adjacent first line 31. In this case, three lines are disposed in any area between pads 20 in each stage such that the three lines include a first line 31 situated in the middle, and second lines 32 are situated so as to have the first line 31 positioned therebetween. Thus, the pitch between the pads 20 can be further reduced without reducing the width of the pads 20.

  • Publication number: 20150319849
    Abstract: The present invention provides a component securing structure that forms a wiring unit on a TFT glass substrate that is capable of transmitting UV light. A component, such as a driver IC and/or an FPC, is electrically connected to the wiring unit and is secured to the TFT glass substrate by a UV-curable ACF. An opening for transmitting UV light is formed in a light shielding layer of the wiring unit. UV light irradiated from the back side of the TFT glass substrate passes through the opening and directly irradiates the UV-curable ACF.

  • Patent number: 9117048
    Abstract: A layout pattern generating apparatus and a layout pattern generating method for an element used for layout design of a semiconductor integrated circuit (LSI) provide a reduction in time for generating a layout pattern with high versatility. The layout pattern generating apparatus for generating a layout pattern of each of elements included in a semiconductor integrated circuit, includes, for example, a storage, a basic figure generator, an additional figure generator, a display unit and an operation input unit. The apparatus and method also utilize at least terminal figure relative position information, figure adjustment value information, and additional figure relative position information, the additional figure being a figure other than the basic figure. The basic figure generator generates the effective area figure and the terminal figure of the layout pattern generation target element, and the additional figure generator generates the additional figure of the layout pattern generation target element.
