  • Publication number: 20250061261
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for arranging electrical components within a semiconductor device, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The method includes (a) providing a first layout including a plurality of cells placed therein; (b) generating a second layout by performing a first set of calculations on the first layout such that cell congestions in the first layout is eliminated from the second layout; (c) generating a third layout by performing a second set of calculations on the second layout such that the total wire length of the third layout is less than that of the second layout; and (d) iterating the operations (b) and (c) until a target layout conforming a convergence criterion.

  • Publication number: 20250054479
    Abstract: An audio device is disclosed, comprising multiple microphones and an audio module. The multiple microphones generate multiple audio signals. The audio module coupled to the multiple microphones comprises a processor, a storage media and a post-processing circuit. The storage media includes instructions operable to be executed by the processor to perform operations comprising: producing multiple instantaneous relative transfer functions (IRTFs) using a known adaptive algorithm according to multiple spectral representations for multiple first sample values in current frames of the multiple audio signals; and, performing distractor suppression over the multiple spectral representations and the multiple IRTFs using an end-to-end neural network to generate a compensation mask. The post-processing circuit generates an audio output signal according to the compensation mask.

  • Patent number: 7828613
    Abstract: This invention is a cable terminal connector, primarily comprising of a U-shaped contact body at the front end of the connector, with a compressible slot located between its upper and lower faces, forming upper and lower resilient clamping faces above and below the compressible slot. When the cable terminal connector's U-shaped contact body is held in place by the cap, the resilient clamping faces on the U-shaped contact body spring back to hold the cap in place, preventing it loosening and increasing the stability of conduction, thereby making it a more effective cable terminal connector.

  • Patent number: 6672903
    Abstract: A signal-line connector includes a connecting member, a rod-shaped conductor, a plurality of grounding members and a shell. After the connecting member, the conductor and the grounding members are assembled together with and in the shell, the conductor and the grounding members are separated by separating members to prevent signal lines connected with the conductor and the grounding members from contacting with each other accidentally, and the metal material needed for the grounding members are much saved, and their resistance is reduced a lot, with the capacitance between the grounding members and the non-metal connecting member lessened mush so that the signal-line connector may have good contact and signal transmission.
