  • Publication number: 20240133975
    Abstract: A computerized simulation validating method for a full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test is implemented by simulating a full-scale test system with external quantities being controlled to be conformant and validating the full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test based on a conformance check result between the internal quantities of the field testing and the internal quantities of the simulation testing. The simulation validating method for a full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test improves normalization and conformance of the full-scale distribution network ground fault test. The computerized simulation validating system, apparatus, and medium for a full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test also achieve the benefits noted above.

  • Patent number: 9412869
    Abstract: An integrated circuit contains a transistor with a stress enhancement region on the source side only. In a DeMOS transistor, forming the stress enhancement region on the source side only and not forming a stress enhancement region in the drain extension increases the resistance of the drain extension region enabling formation of a DeMOS transistor with reduced area. In a MOS transistor, by forming the stress enhancement region on the source side only and eliminating the stress enhancement region from the drain side, transistor leakage is reduced and CHC reliability improved.
