A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a transistor layer with an M*1.sup.st layer that overlays the transistor layer with one or more first conductors that extend in a first direction. Forming an M*2nd layer that overlays the M*1st layer with one or more second conductors which extend in a second direction. Forming a first pin in the M*2nd layer representing an output pin of a cell region. Forming a long axis of the first pin substantially along a selected one of the one or more second conductors. Forming a majority of the total number of pins in the M*1st layer, the forming including: forming second, third, fourth and fifth pins in the M*1st layer representing corresponding input pins of the circuit; and forming long axes of the second to fifth pins substantially along corresponding ones of the one or more first conductors.

Techniques for automatically modulating a physical configuration of a reconfigurable building structure. A reconfigurable building structure may be constructed of physical elements that are movable with respect to one another to facilitate actuating the reconfigurable building structure between a plurality of different physical configurations. The physical configuration of a reconfigurable building structure may be adjusted to accommodate for physical dimensions of an item that is going to be moved into the reconfigurable building structure. For example, a spacing between two shelves may be expanded in response to an order being placed for a large item. In this way, when the item is delivered to a physical address associated with the reconfigurable building structure, various physical characteristics of the reconfigurable building structure may have already been modulated to accept the item.

A system and method for implementing and generating a network-on-chip (NoC) topology based on area and timing assessment. A topology of the NoC is defined, approximations of area and timing of the topology without optimization are performed; and an exact, complete register transfer level (RTL) description of the topology is generated if the approximated area and timing satisfy constraints.

A simulation method and system of verifying an operation of a semiconductor memory device of a memory module at a design level. The simulation method includes setting a configuration and an arrangement of a registered clock driver (RCD) and a configuration and an arrangement of first semiconductor memory devices to fourth semiconductor memory devices, on a printed circuit board (PCB) through a graphic user interface (GUI). When a RCD test execution command is applied through the GUI, executing a test program to apply control signals to control signal terminals of the PCB based on a command truth table, to compare the applied control signals and control signals output through first driver output terminals of the RCD, and to create an RCD test result. When the RCD operates normally, performing a test on the memory module.

Semiconductor integrated circuit devices are provided which have standard cells with ultra-short standard cell heights. For example, a device comprises an integrated circuit comprising a standard cell which comprises a first cell boundary and a second cell boundary. The standard cell comprises an n-track cell height defined by a distance between the first cell boundary and the second cell boundary, wherein n is four or less.

The present subject matter relates to systems and methods for designing a construction component for a building in which a biomimetic topology optimization algorithm is applied to a building design to define a structure of one or more construction component of the building. Such construction components can be fabricated using an additive manufacturing method.

A system automatically generates apparel collection imagery from user-provided imagery. The user-provided imagery includes images of people wearing one or more garments. The system uses segmenting analysis to analyze the user-provided image to identify locations of the garment. From the locations of the garments, the system can determine which garments from an apparel collection can be used to replace those in the user-provided imagery. The system uses pose estimation on the user-provided imagery and modifies a preview image of a replacement garment from the collection. This modified replacement garment image is used to replace the garment in the user-provided imagery.

A cloud design composition negotiation system includes a cloud design composition server including a database storing design composition data. A partial change program can access variable data in a variable data section. A processing unit executes partial change in the design composition data. An execution end operating unit is linked with the database and is operable by clicking a style selection program and an area selection program to present a style selection icon and an area selection icon on a screen, thereby obtaining one of the design composition data. Icons of a composition of the one of the design composition data are shown on the screen. The partial change program presents a partial change icon on the screen. Clicking the partial change icon enables an execution end user to access the variable data section to thereby proceed with partial change in the icons of the composition.

A system and a method are described for laying out components in a vehicle workspace. The method may comprise: receiving, as input, a plurality of components for a vehicle workspace; determining an optimization of a routing of a plurality of connections, each of which connect to at least one of the plurality of components; and providing an output indicative of the routing within the vehicle workspace.

A motor selection device is equipped with a speed calculation unit that calculates an average speed from a speed waveform of a motor that drives a predetermined driven object, the speed waveform being obtained when the driven object is made to perform a prescribed operation, a current calculation unit that calculates a root mean square current from a current waveform of the motor that drives the driven object, the current waveform being obtained when the driven object is made to perform the prescribed operation, a storage unit that stores a motor characteristic corresponding to a speed of a target motor serving as an object to be selected, and a determination unit that determines whether or not the prescribed operation by the target motor is possible, using the motor characteristic corresponding to the average speed, and the root mean square current.
