Patent number: 10783306Abstract: A soft error rate (SER) associated with a design of a semiconductor circuit may be predicted based on implementing a simulation associated with the design. The simulation may include generating a simulation environment based on information indicating the design, performing a particle strike simulation based on the simulation environment to generate charge deposition information, and calculating a collected charge quantity from the charge deposition information. A determination may be made whether the SER predicted based on the collected charge quantity at least meets a threshold. The design may be modified, and the simulation repeated, if the predicted SER value meets a threshold value. A semiconductor circuit may be manufactured based on the design if the predicted SER value is less than the threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2017Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Udit Monga, Jong Wook Jeon, Ken Machida, Ui Hui Kwon

Patent number: 8151406Abstract: A wiper blade 13 comprises a rubber holder 17 attached to a tip of a wiper arm 14 and a blade rubber 16 supported by the rubber holder 17. The rubber holder 17 is formed into a U-shaped cross section, and an intermediate portion of the blade rubber 16 is covered with the rubber holder 17. Also, both sides of the rubber holder 17 are provided with covers 18 in a longitudinal direction in series. Each of the cover 18 becomes rotatable to the rubber holder 17 in a direction perpendicular to a front windshield glass 12, and exposed portions from the rubber holder 17 of the blade rubber 16 are covered with these covers 18 in an elastically deformable state.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2005Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Mitsuba CorporationInventors: Ken Machida, Masaru Fujiwara, Jun Abe

Patent number: 8015656Abstract: Rotation of a tip side of a blade holder toward a windshield at or beyond a predetermined angle is regulated with respect to a wiper arm. A convex portion is formed at a portion of the blade holder opposing to an arm mounting member, and a concave portion is formed at a portion of the arm mounting member opposing to the blade holder, whereby engagement of the convex and concave portions admits rotation of a tip side of the wiper blade toward the windshield at or beyond a predetermined angle to be regulated with respect to the wiper arm. By such a structure, since contact between the wiper arm and the wiper blade is prevented, it is suppressed that a coating of the wiper arm or blade holder is peeled off to bring early its rusty, and that damages of both members make their wiping performance easily deteriorate.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2008Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: MITSUBA CorporationInventors: Masaru Fujiwara, Ken Machida, Tsuneo Sugiyama
