Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method for memory cell placement. The method can include placing a memory cell region in a layout area and placing a well pick-up region and a first power supply routing region along a first side of the memory cell region. The method also includes placing a second power supply routing region and a bitline jumper routing region along a second side of the memory cell region, where the second side is on an opposite side to that of the first side. The method further includes placing a device region along the second side of the memory cell region, where the bitline jumper routing region is between the second power supply routing region and the device region.

Abstract: A network apparatus and a method of switching a data network for a network apparatus are provided. The network apparatus includes a plurality of User Identity Modules (UIMs), a transceiver module, and a switching unit. The UIMs are used to provide a plurality of network service plans, wherein the network apparatus operates in a first network service plan corresponding to a first UIM of the UIMs. The transceiver module is arranged to receive a plurality of network packets corresponding to the network service plans. The switching unit is arranged to obtain a plurality of corresponding network connection information from the network packets, performing an information-matching operation upon the plurality of corresponding network connection information to generate a matching result by referring to a profile database, and determining if the network apparatus is required to be switched to operate in a second network service plan according to the matching result.

Abstract: A network gateway includes a first port being coupled to an external network connection; a web server module being coupled to the first port for serving web pages to a remote user through the external network connection; a digital living network alliance (DLNA) controller being coupled to the web server module; and a second port being coupled to the digital living network alliance (DLNA) controller and a digital living network alliance (DLNA) compatible internal network; wherein the digital living network alliance (DLNA) controller is for controlling a digital living network alliance (DLNA) compatible peripheral device being coupled to the network gateway utilizing the second port according to commands received from the remote user.

Abstract: A circuit apparatus built in a computer peripheral device for detecting physiological signal is disclosed, which has a signal detecting circuit to detect an optical signal from the environmental light source and sends the detected optical signal to a physiological signal processing circuit for performing digital process to obtain a physiological signal. Then, the physiological signal is sent to a computer via an input/output microprocessor circuit for showing the user's physiological state.

Abstract: A mouse capable of detecting physiological signal and detecting environmental luminance is disclosed, which has a shell and a base. A recess is defined in the shell to hold a user's finger. A photo sensor is provided between the wall of the recess and the finger for detecting the environmental photo signal that penetrates through the finger. The photo sensor sends the detected photo signal to a computer via an input/output interface, so that the computer can determine and display the user's physiological state.
