  • Publication number: 20170031881
    Abstract: A method for creating web programs and corresponding table interfaces according to column comments is revealed. The method features on that codes predefined are stored in the comment of each column in a table respectively and each code corresponds to a function. Then attribute data and the code of each column are obtained by metadata of a relational database. A program required for retrieving and storing data in the relational database is produced according to the attribute data and to the code. Thus a corresponding web code file is created. Finally, a table interface and a program for processing web pages of each column corresponding to the function are created by a web editing system according to the web code file. Thereby web application development is dramatically accelerated.

  • Patent number: 9514115
    Abstract: The settings related to form fields now are unable to be set dynamically according to attributes of a table. The settings related to form fields include length of form fields, validation rule of form filed (such as length of input character or whether the input character is a not null parameter, etc.), and presentation of form fields (such as check box or calendar time selection interface). The present invention uses result set metadata of a relational database to get the attributes. Thus a form interface includes form fields corresponding to the attributes. And the presentation of the form fields can be determined by the corresponding attribute parameters. Moreover, whether data format is correct is checked by a form validation program according to data user input into the form field. Thereby development workflow can be simplified and development time can be shortened for web developers and program designers.

  • Patent number: 9495506
    Abstract: Methods for verifying the layout for standard cells using finFET standard cell structures with polysilicon on cell edges. Standard cells are defined using finFET transistors. Polysilicon dummy structures are formed on the edges of the active areas of the standard cells. Where two standard cells abut a single polysilicon dummy structure is formed. In a design flow, a pre-layout netlist schematic for the standard cells is formed that does not include devices corresponding to the polysilicon dummy structures. After an automated place and route process forms a device layout using the standard cells, a post layout netlist schematic is extracted including MOS devices corresponding to the polysilicon dummy structures. A layout versus schematic comparison is then performed, but during the comparison MOS devices corresponding to the polysilicon dummy structures are filtered from the post-layout netlist and are not compared. Additional methods are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8943455
    Abstract: Methods for standard cells using finFET standard cell structures with polysilicon on OD edges. Standard cells are defined using finFET transistors and having gate structures forming a transistor at an intersection with a semiconductor fin. Polysilicon dummy structures are formed on the edges of the active areas or OD areas of the standard cells. In a design flow, a pre-layout netlist schematic for the standard cells includes a three terminal MOS device corresponding to the polysilicon dummy structure on the edges of the standard cell. After an automated place and route process forms a device layout using the standard cells, a post layout netlist is extracted. Where two standard cells abut one another, a single polysilicon dummy structure is formed on the common boundary. A layout versus schematic comparison is then performed comparing the pre-layout netlist and the post-layout netlist to verify the layout obtained. Additional methods are disclosed.
