  • Publication number: 20090241075
    Abstract: Embodiments of an IC design system for test row/structure layout design are described in this application. The design system may include a test chip complier database, a test chip complier engine (TCCE), and a user interface module. The TCCE may be configured to communicate with at least the test chip compiler database and the user interface module, and configured to allow a user to automatically generate a test chip layout by providing an integrated circuit design system. With the system, a user can automatically generate a design by specifying the test row or test structure layout requirements for the design using sets of predefined templates, changing design template parameters using a table driven input format, scheduling generation of the design on a preferred layout design tool, visually inspecting the generated design for errors, and/or applying version controls to the generated design. Other embodiments are described.

  • Patent number: 6833339
    Abstract: A bi-metal aluminum bearing includes an aluminum-based bearing layer, a steel backing, and an intermediate aluminum-based layer that has a thickness of from 60 to 120 micrometers positioned between the aluminum-based bearing layer and the steel backing. The intermediate layer has a yield strength that is less than that of the aluminum-based bearing layer and is preferably of pure aluminum. The aluminum-based bearing layer has a fine microstructure which imparts a very high level of conformability while retaining good fatigue strength. The aluminum bearing layer generally includes 4% to 20% by weight lead or tin, up to 26% by weight silicon and up to 2% by weight of any of the elements magnesium, manganese, nickel, zirconium, zinc, copper, or chromium with the remainder of the bearing layer being aluminum.

The intermediate layer has a yield strength that is less than that of the aluminum-based bearing layer. The aluminum-based bearing layer has a fine microstructure which imparts a very high fatigue strength. The aluminum bearing layer generally includes 4% to 15% by weight lead or tin, up to 26% by weight silicon and up to 2% by weight of any of the elements magnesium, manganese, nickel, zirconium, zinc, copper, or chromium with the remainder of the bearing layer being aluminum.

  • Patent number: 6071030
    Abstract: The tabbed edge of a divider sheet has at least one strip releasably attached thereto. The strip helps the printer (or copier) sense the sheet when being fed strip end first or last (landscape direction) into the printer or copier. When fed in the portrait direction, the strip guides the sheet along the feed tray guides thereby preventing skewing of the sheet. After the printer or copier has printed the desired indicia on the tabs and/or body of the sheet, the strip is removed from the sheet and discarded. The strip can be attached to the sheet with adhesive or by a microperforation line.
