An optical proximity correction method is provided using a modified merit function based upon yield. Known failure mechanisms related to layout geometries are used to derive yield functions based upon distance values between layout features, such as, edge features. In comparing the edge points on the predicted layout pattern with the corresponding point on the design layout pattern, a yield test is first undertaken before movement of the points on the predicted layout pattern to a position of higher yield. Where yield is acceptable, no further movement is made. Where incremental movement of points results in coming within acceptable proximity before acceptable yield is reached, the point is flagged for further consideration.

A system and method for tracking articles and controlling inventory thereof on a real time basis comprising the use of a tag assembly including a plurality of tags including both active tags and passive tags distinguishable from one another by the provision of a self contained power source in the active tags. One or more readers are disposed within a locale being monitored and are structured to communicate received data transmission from a host controller, for additional administrative processing in terms of determining the existence, location and / or movement of various articles with which the plurality of tags are directly associated. Depending on their category the tags may be activated by either entering an electric field of a predetermined first frequency or by receiving an activation signal from the reader assembly also transmitted at the first predetermined frequency. Communication between the tags and the reader occurs at a second frequency being different from the first frequency.

A touch sensor panel configured to mitigate the effect of parasitic capacitance on the ability of a capacitive touch sensor panel to reliably detect touch and proximity events. The touch sensor panel includes circuitry that can electrically drive a set of conductive shields that partially encapsulate various conductive components of the touch sensor panel. The touch sensor panel can also include circuitry that work to calibrate the touch sensor panel against variations in signal phase due to a parasitic capacitance.

A transceiver preferably embedded within a wearable security watch, PDA, or other device which achieves a variety of wireless ultrasonic and / or radio-frequency based functions, including digital identification and proximity and sensation monitoring of assets, individuals, pets, and the like. The portable or wearable device realizes these functions by periodically polling and receiving information tags within the transmitting distance of the device. The invention can help reduce the likelihood of the theft, loss, or misplacement by detecting that a tag associated with or attached to an entity has left an individual's proximity and sounding an alarm. The device can also assist individuals with sensory impairments, including persons who are deaf, diabetic, and the like, by detecting a tagged entity as it enters the space around an individual, or by detecting environmental stimuli, such as excessive heat in an individual's proximity or vital sign changes, and sounding an alarm.

Provided is a method of fabricating a photo mask. The method includes preparing a model group including optical proximity correction (OPC) models and generating a preliminary mask layout using an integrated circuit (IC) layout. A contour image may be produced from the preliminary mask layout through a simulation using an optical model. Subsequently, the preliminary mask layout may be compared with the contour image and the comparison result may be analyzed to produce analysis data for providing criteria used in selecting an OPC model. An OPC model suitable for the preliminary mask layout may be selected from the model group based on the analysis data. An OPC process may be performed on the preliminary mask layout using the selected OPC model to generate a mask layout.

A circuit for detecting a touch or proximity event on a touch input device is provided. The circuit is able to mitigate the effects that parasitic capacitance has on a self-capacitance touch sensor panel by injecting a signal into the sensing circuitry. The signal is adjusted until it calibrates the circuitry for the effects that parasitic capacitance imparts on the detection of touch or proximity events on a touch sensor panel.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for performing device-to-device communication in a wireless communication system. The method includes generating identification information of a D2D user equipment that supports the D2D communication as identification information for D2D discovery using a hash function, the identification information for discovery includes information of a first length for indicating a division region of the beacon signals and information of a second length included in the beacon. The information of a first length and the information of a second length are smaller than identification information of the D2D user equipment. Accordingly, by performing discovery for the D2D user equipment through the identification information having shorter length than prior art, and performing discovery in a range where the discovery is available through the region in which the beacon signals are allocated, advantages of performing the D2D discovery effectively are provided.
