  • Patent number: 6047435
    Abstract: A cleaning apparatus includes a handle for a cleaning cloth to be attached thereto, and a flat bag-like cleaning cloth having an insertion space therein. The handle is provided at a front end portion of a handle body with a head portion. The head portion is inserted into the insertion space, thereby attaching the cleaning cloth to the head portion. The cleaning cloth includes a joined portion formed by joining non-woven fabrics together and having a flat bag-like configuration defining an insertion space in the internal area of the cleaning cloth and a non-joined portion being provided at an external area of the joined portion.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5824570
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit capabling of reducing a chip area by facilitating optimization of a chip layout and a method for designing the same has been provided. For given gate level connection description, use cell information designating gates which should be designed by employing the cell patterns prepared in advance is generated. When the gate level connection description is developed into the transistor level, hybrid connection description including mixedly transistor level and gate level is then generated by employing the cell patterns relative to the gates which being designated by the use cell information and by developing gates which being not designated by the use cell information into transistor level. A layout is then designed based on the hybrid connection description including mixedly the transistor level and the gate level.

  • Patent number: 5675501
    Abstract: A method of designing a semiconductor integrated circuit apparatus vice comprises: a placement step of generating row information indicating a transistor row in which transistors required for the configuration of a transistor row to be designed are placed so that wiring length is as short as possible on the basis of net connection information of transistors, size information of various transistors constituting the net, and ideal module size information which provides constraint relating to sizes in X-direction and sizes in Y-direction perpendicular to the X-direction of the transistor row in which the various transistors are arranged in the X-direction; a row size determination step of generating, on the basis of the row information, row size information indicating sizes in the X-direction and the Y-direction of the transistor row that the row information indicates; and a parallel arrangement step of carrying out parallel arrangement of transistors constituting the transistor row so that the transistor row th
