Abstract: A logic cell structure includes a first portion, a second portion and a third portion. The first portion, arranged to be a first layout of a first semiconductor element, is placed in a first cell row of a substrate area extending in a first direction. The second portion, arranged to be a second layout of a second semiconductor element, is placed in a second cell row of the substrate area. The third portion is arranged to be a third layout of an interconnecting path used for coupling the first semiconductor element and the second semiconductor element. The first, second and third portions are bounded by a bounding box with a height in a second direction and a width in the first direction. Respective centers of the first portion and the second portion are arranged in a third direction different from each of the first direction and the second direction.

Abstract: An audio file processing method and player are provided. The audio file processing method includes: reading at least one audio file from a Blu-ray disc via a player, compressing the at least one audio file to generate at least one compressed audio file, and storing the at least one compressed audio file in a system cache of the player. According to the above method, the usage of the system cache is reduced when playing audio files from high definition disc and the cost is reduced accordingly.

Abstract: A method for performing display management regarding a three-dimensional (3-D) video stream is provided, where the 3-D video stream includes a plurality of sub-streams respectively corresponding to two eyes of a user. The method includes: dynamically detecting whether video information corresponding to all of the sub-streams is displayable; and when it is detected that video information corresponding to a first sub-stream of the sub-streams is not displayable, temporarily utilizing video information corresponding to a second sub-stream of the sub-streams to emulate the video information corresponding to the first sub-stream. An associated video display system is also provided.
