Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example apparatus includes interface circuitry to obtain circuitry logic, the circuitry logic including a plurality of circuit elements logically connected by a plurality of nodes; identifier circuitry to: identify a node within the plurality of nodes for elevation; and identify a layer of an integrated circuit; port adder circuitry to modify the circuitry logic by adding a signal port, the signal port corresponding to a physical terminal in the identified layer; connector circuitry to modify the circuitry logic by connecting the signal port to the identified node; and layout planner circuitry to determine a layout of the integrated circuit based on the modified circuitry logic.

Abstract: Described herein are integrated circuit devices that include semiconductor devices near the center of the device, rather than towards the top or bottom of the device. In this arrangement, heat can become trapped inside the device. Metal fill, such as copper, is formed within a portion of the device, e.g., over the semiconductor devices and any front side interconnect structures, to transfer heat away from the semiconductor devices and towards a heat spreader.

Abstract: A method for monitoring thoracic tissue. The method comprises intercepting reflections of electromagnetic (EM) radiation reflected from thoracic tissue of a patient in radiation sessions during a period of at least 24 hours, detecting a change of a dielectric coefficient of the thoracic tissue by analyzing respective the reflections, and outputting a notification indicating the change. The reflections are changed as an outcome of thoracic movements which occur during the period.

Abstract: Lithographic methodologies involving, and apparatuses suitable for, inline circuit edits are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a plurality of conductive structures along corresponding ones of a plurality of line tracks along a first direction. The integrated circuit structure also includes a white space track included within the plurality of line tracks, the white space track having a width along a second direction greater than a width of an individual one of the plurality of line tracks, the second direction orthogonal to the first direction. A conductive structure is along the white space track.
