Abstract: This invention offers an integrated technology in sequential treatment of wastewater. Low biodegradable organics and heavy metal ions are both contained in wastewater from surface finishing processes. The aim of the invention is to find the solution for treatment of organics and heavy metal ions in complicated wastewater that contains organics and heavy metal ions sequentially. Low biodegradable organics are oxidized by a fenton process with pH ranging from 2 to 5 and temperature ranging from 20° C. to 100° C. Heavy metal ions are then treated by a ferrite process with pH ranging from 8 to 12 and temperature ranging from 20° C. to 100° C. The integrated technology of the fenton process and the ferrite process (2FP) is advantageous to treat the wastewater from surface finishing processes, decrease the production of iron sludge caused in the fenton process and increase the quality of ferrite products.

Abstract: A new method to optimize a signal routing in an integrated circuit is achieved. The method comprises providing a signal routing in an integrated circuit layout. The signal routing comprises a configuration of metal lines in a stack of metal levels. Each metal level is separated from an underlying substrate by dielectric material. A Joule heating estimate is calculated for the signal routing. The Joule heating estimate is compared to a standard value. The signal routing is updated if the Joule heating estimate exceeds the standard value. The updating comprises generating a new configuration of the metal lines in the metal levels. The new configuration reduces the Joule heating. The steps of calculating, comparing, and updating are repeated if the Joule heating estimate still exceeds the standard value. Joule heating is reduced by either routing on lower metal levels or by coupling the signal routing to a heat sink.
