Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080266114ELECTRIFIED CONTAINER FOR ANIMAL DETERRENCE - An electrified container for deterring an animal from accessing the contents thereof. The storage container having at least one access aperture and at least one section of electrically conductive material attached to the exterior of said storage container. Preferably, the section of electrically conductive material is configured to conduct current through an animal upon contact with the container, thus providing an electric shock to the animal.10-30-2008

20090024977LOCAL PREFERRED DIRECTION ARCHITECTURE, TOOLS, AND APPARATUS - model for use with one or more EDA tools (such as placing, routing, etc). An LPD wiring model allows at least one wiring layer to have a set of regions that each have a different preferred direction than the particular wiring layer. In addition, each region has a local preferred direction that differs from the local preferred direction of at least one other region in the set. Furthermore, at least two regions have two different polygonal shapes and no region in the set encompasses another region in the set. Some embodiments also provide a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that facilitates a visual presentation of an LPD design layout and provides tools to create and manipulate LPD regions in a design layout.01-22-2009

20090077522METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ROUTING WITH INDEPENDENT GOALS ON DIFFERENT LAYERS - Some embodiments of the invention provide a method of routing. The method selects a net with a set of routable elements in a multi-layer layout region. In some embodiments, the method identifies a route for the net based on different congestion goals on different layers. In other embodiments, the method identifies a route for the net based on different congestion goals between different layer pairs. In some embodiments, the method identifies a route for the net based on both the different congestion goals on different layers and between different layer pairs.03-19-2009
20100050143METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ROUTING - Disclosed is a method, system, and computer program product for routing, modeling routes, and measuring congestion. In some embodiments, Gcells are implemented with reduced number of nodes to facilitate route modeling and congestion measurement. Some embodiments are particularly suitable for direct congestion and routing analysis of diagonal routing paths. In this way, congestion analysis can be directly performed along diagonal boundaries for diagonal routes, without requiring association with Gcell boundaries on Manhattan routing layers.02-25-2010

20100180250METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING LAYOUT REGIONS WITH LOCAL PREFERRED DIRECTIONS - Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for defining wiring directions in a design layout having several wiring layers. The method decomposes a first wiring layer into several non-overlapping regions. It assigns at least two different local preferred wiring directions to at least two of the regions. In some embodiments, the method decomposing the first wiring layer by using the vertices of items in the layout to decompose the layout. In some of these embodiments, the items include macro blocks. The method of some embodiments also identifies several power via arrays on the first wiring layer, and identifies a local preferred wiring direction based on the arrangement of the power via arrays on the first wiring layer.07-15-2010

20100137865METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THE INTRAMEDULLARY FIXATION OF A FRACTURED BONE - The system and method for intramedullary plate fixation of the preferred embodiments include a first intramedullary plate of a first geometry with a plurality of bores, a second intramedullary plate of a second geometry with a plurality of bores, a plurality of fasteners that fasten the first and second intramedullary plates to bone, and an alignment fixture held outside of the body that indicate the location of the bores of the first and second intramedullary plates and through which the fasteners are aligned with the bores of the first and second intramedullary plates, allowing the surgeon to make incisions in the patients body in known locations of the bores, and thus allowing for a minimally invasive intramedullary plate installation and fixation procedure.06-03-2010
