  • Publication number: 20070033561
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that speeds up timing analysis by reusing delays computed for isomorphic subcircuit. During operation, the system receives a circuit block to be analyzed, wherein the circuit block is in the form of a netlist. The system then subdivides the circuit block into a set of subcircuits. The subcircuits are then partitioned into equivalence classes, which contain subcircuits which are topologically isomorphic to each other. Next, the system performs a timing analysis by tracing paths through a timing graph for the circuit block. During this timing analysis, whenever a delay is required for a subcircuit, the system determines if a corresponding delay has been already computed for the equivalence class associated with the subcircuit. If so, the system reuses the delay. If not, the system computes the delay for the subcircuit, and then associates the computed delay with the equivalence class so that the computed delay can be reused for isomorphic subcircuits.

  • Publication number: 20070029906
    Abstract: An organic light emitting device an a method of obtaining illumination from such a device is provided. The device has a plurality of regions, each region having an organic emissive layer adapted to emit a different spectrum of light. The regions in combination emit light suitable for illumination purposes. The area of each region may be selected such that the device is more efficient than an otherwise equivalent device having regions of equal size. The regions may have an aspect ratio of at least about four. All parts of any given region may be driven at the same current.

  • Publication number: 20060240279
    Abstract: An organic light emitting diode (OLED) architecture in which efficient operation is achieved without requiring a blocking layer by locating the recombination zone close to the hole transport side of the emissive layer. Aryl-based hosts and Ir-based dopants with suitable concentrations result in an efficient phosphorescent OLED structure. Previously, blocking layer utilization in phosphorescent OLED architectures was considered essential to avoid exciton and hole leakage from the emissive layer, and thus keep the recombination zone inside the emissive layer to provide high device efficiency and a pure emission spectrum.

  • Patent number: 7058291
    Abstract: A system and method for reducing the cost of producing a brushless DC motor (58) is presented. The brushless DC motor (58) provides higher power density and efficiency with an increased tool run time. The brushless DC motor (58) includes a rotor assembly (72) that has an unmagnetized permanent magnet (74) affixed to a shaft. The permanent magnet (74) remains unmagnetized until the motor is partially assembled. A plurality of coils (94) for producing a magnetic field are wound about the rotor assembly (72). The coils (94) include end turns that enclose the rotor assembly (72) such that the rotor assembly (72) is not removable. Since the windings (94) are wound with the rotor assembly (72) already enclosed, the windings (94) do not require large end coils to allow subsequent insertion of the rotor (72). Minimizing the end coils reduces the length of wire required per turn, thereby reducing the resistance of the winding (94).
