  • Patent number: 12200418
    Abstract: A microphone assembly including an acoustic transducer that generates an electrical signal responsive to acoustic activity, and an integrated circuit electrically coupled to the acoustic transducer and that receives the electrical signal from the acoustic transducer and generate an output signal representative of the acoustic activity. The microphone assembly also includes a substrate comprising a first surface on which the integrated circuit is mounted, a guard ring mounted on the substrate and elevated relative to the first surface of the substrate, and a can mounted to the guard ring, wherein the can, the guard ring, and the substrate form a housing in which the transducer and integrated circuit are disposed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10192018
    Abstract: An improved approach is described to implement trim data representation for an electronic design. Instead of maintaining a gap shape object for every gap in the layout, existing objects adjacent to the gap location are configured to include attributes of the gap shape. The properties of the gap shape can then be derived from the adjacent objects.
