  • Patent number: 7062424
    Abstract: A modeling method and a simulation method enable a circuit board to undergo modeling without deterioration of simulation precision while describing with no matrix shape. A circuit simulator analyzes power/ground noise of a circuit board with single current change source. A process regards the circuit board as an aggregate of thin doughnut boards of concentric circle shape with the current change source as the center, subsequently, approximating the aggregate of the doughnut boards to be an aggregate of rectangular boards with respective circumferences of the doughnut boards as widths and respective cut-lengths of the same as lengths, then forming respective transmission line models taking respective rectangular boards of the aggregate of the rectangular boards as the transmission line, thus connecting respective transmission line models in series to make it a simulation model of the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 5742362
    Abstract: Mask patterns and their exposure times are stored in a memory within a controller. The controller transfers the mask pattern to a memory in the liquid crystal controller. The mask pattern stored in the memory is displayed on the matrix liquid crystal display element. The controller transfers the next mask pattern to memory after the elapse of exposure time. By this exposure apparatus, a plurality of mask patterns is exposed on a photosensitive material. The exposure time of each portion of the photosensitive material is adjusted in three or more grades by exposing a plurality of mask patterns sequentially. If the photosensitive material is positive, the film thickness becomes low in a portion which has a long exposure time and high in a portion which has a short exposure time. A combination of a plurality of mask patterns enables the section of the photosensitive material to be formed into a desired shape.
