Abstract:
Systems, including method and apparatus, for processing workpieces driven automatically along a linear path to a plurality of positions disposed substantially along the linear path. In some embodiments, a workpiece may be processed at one or more of the positions using two or more processing stations, such as a first processing station that cuts the workpiece into segments and a second processing station that performs another processing operation on the workpiece.
Abstract:
A system for processing material includes a computer connected to a saw. A pusher is used to convey material along a processing path. The computer is programmed to control optimal processing of material to satisfy a cut list.
Abstract:
In this method for hierarchical extraction of interconnect parasitic data for integrated circuits, a representation of coupled interconnects and polygon data copied from an upper level to a lower level is simplified so that the coupled interconnects and the polygon data are considered to be ground wires. This method also features instance-specific management of hardmac data from copied hardmac views to create SPEF files using both chip level and macro level back-annotation in a hierarchical representation.
Abstract:
Gauge system, including methods and apparatus, for positioning workpieces to be processed. In some embodiments, the gauge system may have a plurality of stops for positioning the end of a workpiece at distinct distances from a processing station. In some embodiments, the plurality of stops may be arrayed along a rail assembly having an adjustable length.

Abstract:
A system for managing projects enables manipulation and downloading of one or more cut lists to a controller. The controller then interfaces with a saw machine to optimize processing of material in a manufacturing operation.
Abstract:
A method of processing material involves cutting pieces of material pursuant to a cut list and managing remaining salvage and defect pieces. A computer may be connected to a saw machine, and programmed to optimize cutting of stock to satisfy a cut list. An operator may input a cut list into the computer along with other parameters such as minimum salvage and defect lengths. A printer may be configured to automatically print labels for application to cut pieces.
Abstract:
System, including apparatus and method, for processing a material involves automatically measuring the length of a work piece and calculating an optimal plan for cutting the work piece to fulfill cut list requirements.
