Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods for handling verification violations are disclosed. In one aspect, a method stores a list of fix information in addition to geometric shapes for each layer during verification, such as design rule checking For each primitive operation step performed during verification, two tasks are performed. First, if the primitive operation is a dimensional checking operation (i.e., width, spacing or enclosure), then for each violation, the first task creates fix information containing violation edge pairs and adds the created fix information to the fix information list on the output layer. Second, for all operations and after the output shapes on the output layer are generated, a second task passes the fix information on input layers which overlap any output shape of the output layer to the output layer's fix information list. Finally, fix guides for the final violation results are generated and drawn based on the final fix information list.

Abstract: A compliant mechanism includes a first unit, a second unit, at least one elastic member and a driver for driving the elastic member to rotate through a predetermined angle. The first and second units collectively define a passage about which the second unit is rotatable relative to the first unit. The elastic member has a plate and first and second shafts which are coaxially connected to two opposite ends of the plate respectively and rotatably connected with the first and second units respectively. The elastic member is rotatable about a co-axis of the first and second shafts and elastically deformable when the second unit rotates relative to the first unit. The elastic member can change its resistance to the rotation of the second unit by rotating; therefore the compliant mechanism has a great safety upon receiving load and is widely applicable in many fields.
