Abstract: A method and apparatus for connecting wiring patterns of an integrated circuit device. A wiring pattern of a semiconductor integrated circuit includes a first line for conducting a first potential and a second line for conducting a second potential. The method detects a portion of a distal end of the first line that overlaps a distal end of the second line and generates an avoidance pattern by eliminating the overlapping portion from the first line.

Abstract: A chromatograph system with improved automation is provided. In the chromatograph system of one embodiment, a regression line is set between retention times of predetermined peaks measured at each run in the past for a standard sample having known components. Referring to this regression line, the peak identifying condition, i.e., time window, is corrected. In another embodiment, there is provided a chromatograph apparatus having a function of estimating a limited life time of a system component. The analyzed results of the chromatograph system can thus be improved.

Abstract: Deterioration of performance of a separation column for liquid chromatograph due to changes in the functional groups during the preservation or application is prevented by filling a solution containing a component in the molecule with the same structure as that of the chemical function group of a packing material for the separation column as a filling liquid together with the packing material in the separation column, and also by washing the separation column with the same filling liquid as a washing solution after the analysis and retaining the washing solution therein, whereby the preservation stability of the separation column is improved and the separation column can be preserved at room temperature.
