Abstract: In a semiconductor integrated circuit chip including an interconnect layer in which there is a limitation on the lengths of interconnects or areas occupied by the interconnects, empty spaces between power supply interconnect segments having the same potential located in parallel to a priority interconnect direction, are shifted relative to each other within the limits of the lengths and areas of power supply interconnects. As a result, a local increase in resistance is dispersed, whereby an influence on a voltage drop is reduced.

Abstract: It is intended to provide a resin foam which can be preferably used for medical use, and a flexible silicone type resin foam having a water-absorbing property. The resin foam which has a low toxicity and excellent physical properties for medical use such as moisture permeability, skin compatibility and low irritation can be obtained by using a resin which has a siloxane unit and an oxyalkylene unit in its molecular structure and does not contain a unit derived from an isocyanate group. Further, the flexible silicone type resin foam having a water-absorbing property can be obtained by allowing it to have a specific resin composition and a foam structure.

Abstract: In a semiconductor integrated circuit, since resistance component is included in a power-supply wiring, a power-supply voltage supplied to a cell on a clock path is dropped to cause a clock skew. To avoid this problem, a cell-placement prohibiting area is set centering on a cell 10 on the clock path, and no cell for performing a logical operation is placed in this cell-placement prohibiting area. Also, a cell-placement prohibiting area may be set for each of cell groups formed of a plurality of cells closely placed together. Furthermore, a capacitive cell may be placed in the cell-placement prohibiting area.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method to remove delay fluctuations generated on a plurality of networks. A reception apparatus 22 receives ATM cells transmitted through a network 4-1 and a network 4-2, converting the cells into a transport stream. At that time, the reception apparatus 22 expresses a PCR packet's timing of arrival at the reception apparatus 22 by a count value obtained as a result of counting the number of clock pulses (clock pulses Nr) synchronous with a network clock signal of the network 4-2. The reception apparatus 22 also computes a new PCR value W on the basis of the count value and the phase-difference information used as synchronization information. The reception apparatus 22 then computes a new PCR value X on the basis of an original PCR value E recorded from the beginning on the encoding side and the PCR value W, newly recording the PCR value X.

Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor integrated circuit in which timing error is not likely to occur even if there is manufacturing variability. Logic cells 16 and 17, which are included in first and second clock circuits 11 and 12, respectively, are formed by transistors of a unified size. Even if there is manufacturing variability, delay time t1 of the first clock circuit 11 and delay time t2 of the second clock circuit 12 are increased or decreased by the same amount of time. Because of this, timing error is not likely to occur in a second flip-flop 15. A logic cell included in each clock cell may be formed by a transistor having a uniform rectangular-shaped diffusion region.
