  • Microfluidics planar placement and routing algorithm
    Patent number: 10360336
    Abstract: A method of developing a physical design layout of microfluidic system chip can include receiving a planarized graph of a netlist including vertices representing microfluidic components. The vertices can be expanded into components, where each component includes a first dimension and a second dimension. The components can be shifted to a position where the first and second dimension of each component do not overlap with the first dimension and the second dimension of any other component. A flow route can be determined based on the first and second dimension of each component and the position of each component, the flow route including channels connecting two or more of the components.

  • Generalized programmable counter arrays
    Patent number: 8667046
    Abstract: A Generalized Programmable Counter Array (GPCA) is a reconfigurable multi-operand adder, which can be reprogrammed to sum a plurality of operands of arbitrary size. The GPCA is configured to compress the input words down to two operands using parallel counters. Resulting operands are then summed using a standard Ripple Carry Adder to produce the final result. The GPCA consists of a linear arrangement of identical compressor slices (CSlice).
