Publication number: 20150095685Abstract: Computing devices are often designed in view of a particular usage scenario, but may be unsuitable for usage in other computing scenarios. For example, a notebook computer with a large display, an integrated keyboard, and a high-performance processor suitable for many computing tasks may be heavy, large, and power-inefficient; and a tablet lacking a keyboard and incorporating a low-powered processor may improve portability but may present inadequate performance for many tasks. Presented herein is a configuration of a computing device featuring a display unit with a resource-conserving processor that may be used independently (e.g., as a tablet), but that may be connected to a base unit featuring a resource-intensive processor. The operating system of the device may accordingly transition between a resource-intensive computing environment and a resource-conserving computing environment based on the connection with the base unit, thereby satisfying the dual roles of workstation and portable tablet device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2014Publication date: April 2, 2015Inventors: Feng-Hsiung Hsu, Xiong-Fei Cai, Rui Gao, Chunhui Zhang

Patent number: 8914755Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and systems for layout re-decomposition of a new layout corresponding to a change order to an original layout associated with an integrated circuit are provided. The change order is applied to the original layout to create the new layout. The original layout comprises one or more original pattern portions assigned pattern colors that correspond to pattern masks. One or more new pattern portions within the new layout are assigned pattern colors such that the new layout has a relatively high color similarity with respect to the original layout. In this way, changes to the pattern masks are reduced, thus mitigating fabrication delay or costs that would otherwise result from significant changes to the pattern masks.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2013Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company LimitedInventors: Chin-Hsiung Hsu, Huang-Yu Chen, Yuan-Te Hou, Yen-Pin Chen, Wen-Hao Chen, Chung-Hsing Wang
