Abstract: The apparatuses for IC layouting comprise interface circuitry, machine-readable instructions, and processing circuitry to execute the machine-readable instructions to obtain a first hierarchical IC layout comprising a first instance of a cell. The cell from which the first instance is derived comprises at least one planar geometric shape representing components of a first IC. The first instance of the cell results from applying a first geometrical transformation operation to the cell during a first instantiation of the cell. Further the processing circuitry is configured to: generate a first hash code of the cell based on a hash function; and generate a second hash code of the first instance of the cell by applying a first mathematical operation to the first hash code. The first mathematical operation is corresponding to the first geometrical transformation operation applied to the cell.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for dynamic color equalization that can be used for image viewer applications. The methods and systems described involve linking enhancement parameters to a changing viewport. When a large image is being viewed, only a portion of the image can fit in a viewer window at a time. A viewport can be defined as the portion of image data that is displayed on a screen. Scrolling or zooming the image can be described as moving the viewport.
