| 20110278178 | Continuous, Semicontinuous and Batch Methods for Treating Liquids and Manufacturing Certain Constituents (e.g., Nanoparticles) in Liquids, Apparatuses and Nanoparticles and Nanoparticle/Liquid Solution(s) and Colloids Resulting Therefrom - This invention relates generally to novel methods and novel devices for the continuous manufacture of nanoparticles, microparticles and nanoparticle/liquid solution(s) (e.g., colloids). The nanoparticles (and/or micron-sized particles) comprise a variety of possible compositions, sizes and shapes. The particles (e.g., nanoparticles) are caused to be present (e.g., created and/or the liquid is predisposed to their presence (e.g., conditioned)) in a liquid (e.g., water) by, for example, preferably utilizing at least one adjustable plasma (e.g., created by at least one AC and/or DC power source), which plasma communicates with at least a portion of a surface of the liquid. At least one subsequent and/or substantially simultaneous adjustable electrochemical processing technique is also preferred. Multiple adjustable plasmas and/or adjustable electrochemical processing techniques are preferred. Processing enhancers can be utilized alone or with a plasma. Semicontinuous and batch processes can also be utilized. The continuous processes cause at least one liquid to flow into, through and out of at least one trough member, such liquid being processed, conditioned and/or effected in said trough member(s). Results include constituents formed in the liquid including ions, micron-sized particles and/or nanoparticles (e.g., metallic-based nanoparticles) of novel size, shape, composition, concentration, zeta potential and certain other novel properties present in a liquid. | 11-17-2011 |

| 20100211922 | Method of Performing Statistical Timing Abstraction for Hierarchical Timing Analysis of VLSI circuits - A method for performing a hierarchical statistical timing analysis of an integrated circuit (IC) chip design by abstracting one or more macros of the design. The method includes performing a statistical static timing analysis of at least one macro; performing a statistical abstraction of the macro to obtain a statistical abstract model of the macro timing characteristics; applying the statistical abstract model as the timing model for each occurrence of the macro leading to a simplified IC chip design; and performing a hierarchical statistical timing analysis of the simplified chip design. The method achieves a context aware statistical abstraction, where a generated statistical abstract model is instantiated for each macro of the chip during statistical static timing analysis at the chip level, providing a compressed and pruned statistical timing abstraction and reducing the model-size during the statistical abstraction. | 08-19-2010 |

| 20110167395 | Timing Point Selection For A Static Timing Analysis In The Presence Of Interconnect Electrical Elements - A method and a system for selecting timing points in an electrical interconnect network to be used in electrical simulations for a static timing analysis for improved accuracy. The present method includes discovering choke points in an electrical model of the interconnect for which all the paths from drivers to receivers must pass through on certain types of nets. The method then uses the choke point electrical nodes, where they exist, as an output timing point of the logic gate driving the net. The method solves the problem of inaccuracies due to resistances between different driver pins on the same interconnect net, though it can also be applied to solving analogous inaccuracies due to resistances between different receiver pins associated with the same receiver timing point. It further also applies to interconnect with other two-port parasitic elements, to cases where only a subset of receiver pins on the net require accurate timing, and to cases where a set of electrical nodes, rather than a single node, partition all paths from drivers to receivers on a net. | 07-07-2011 |
