  • Patent number: 5502649
    Abstract: An apparatus for determining power supply wirings of a semiconductor device includes a unit for executing a logic simulation based on both data concerning each of logic circuit blocks constituting the semiconductor device and data concerning signals for testing operations of the device, and thereby generating a respective output signal data for the logic circuit blocks, a unit for computing a respective operational frequency of the logic circuit blocks based on the generated output signal data, and a unit for computing a respective wiring width of each power supply line for supplying each of the logic circuit blocks with powers. The respective wiring width of each power supply line is determined based on the computed respective operational frequency of the logic circuit blocks and a plurality of wiring widths of respective power supply lines optimumly selected for each of a plurality of operational frequencies in advance.

  • Patent number: 4298795
    Abstract: Simplified method and apparatus for connecting a liquid chromatograph, particularly of a high-performance type, directly to a mass spectrometer without using any complicated devices conventionally available, for the purpose of continuous and stable mass spectrometric measurement of a liquid sample, either liquid or solution, more commonly an effluent supplied directly from a column of the liquid chromatograph or an aliquot portion thereof extracted through a simple and ordinary splitter, or any other liquid samples prepared for the mass spectrometric analysis. Such a liquid sample is first sprayed into finely divided particles by a nebulizing means mainly consisting of a double-tubing capillary so that the sample is easily vaporized, and finally introduced into an ionizing portion of the mass spectrometer in continuous and stable manner.
