  • Patent number: 6308302
    Abstract: An integrated circuit chip having at least one source pin and a plurality of sink pins. A wire segment connects the source pin to at least one of the sink pins and includes at least two segments where one of the segments is larger than the other where electromigration is likely to occur.

  • Patent number: 6231535
    Abstract: A support for maintaining the head of a wearer erect when the wearer is in a sitting position. The support includes a body for maintaining the head of the wearer erect when the wearer is in the sitting position, and a strap that extends from the body for engaging around the neck of the wearer. The body is rigid and defined by a plurality of arcuately-shaped surfaces so configured so as to accommodate for the clavicle, the chin, the upper chest, the neck of the wearer, and a knot of a tie if worn by the wearer.

  • Patent number: 6185722
    Abstract: A computerized tool or method that calculates the capacitance and resistance of each global wire on the chip, one wire at a time. The invention steps along a track containing a wire segment, grid point by grid point, calculating the resistance and capacitance at that point. At each grid point it searches the neighboring tracks within the surrounding cube for adjacent elements that could cause capacitive effects or affect the resistance of the wire. The method delivers capacitance and resistance values for each process condition for a grid unit length of wire, given the wire type and 3 dimensional environment of the wire segment. The capacitance and resistance at a grid point along the wire are generally determined by one table lookup for wire types based on the surrounding environment. These values are added along wire segments to deliver accurate 3 dimensional capacitances and resistances.

  • Patent number: 5737580
    Abstract: A method for wiring IC chips such that electromigration criteria are met while minimizing the effect on overall chip wireability. A technique to optimize the width of automatically routed wire segments so that these widths are adequate to support the electromigration current on that net as a function of the capacitive loading of the net itself.

  • Patent number: 5403008
    Abstract: A golf grip training and exercise device (10), comprising an elongate, one-piece body of oval transverse cross section including:a) a major, front face (16) having a finger side (18), and a thumb side (20) opposite the finger side (18) and parallel thereto;b) a top face (14) adjoining the front face (16);c) a bottom face (12) adjoining the front face (16) and opposite the top face (14); andd) a major back face (30) extending between the top and bottom faces and joining the front face along the finger and thumb sides, the front face (16) being formed with three, hemi-cylindrical finger grooves (22) extending in generally parallel relation across a surface thereof from the finger side (18) at an oblique angle thereto toward the bottom face (12) for accommodating three fingers (53, 54, 55) of a person's hand, and a hemi-cylindrical thumb indentation (24) extending across a surface thereof in generally parallel relation to the finger grooves from the thumb side (20) toward the top face (14); and, the back face (3
