  • Patent number: 11968767
    Abstract: A EUV light source includes a prepulse laser source for emitting a prepulse laser beam at a prepulse wavelength, a main pulse laser source for emitting a main pulse laser beam at a main pulse wavelength, a prepulse beam guiding device for feeding the prepulse laser beam into a radiation generating chamber for irradiation of a target material with a prepulse, and a main pulse beam guiding device for feeding the main pulse laser beam into the radiation generating chamber for irradiation of the target material with a main pulse. The target material is configured to emit EUV radiation on account of the irradiation with the prepulse and the main pulse. The prepulse beam guiding device has a separation device configured to reflect disturbing radiation in a wavelength range that does not include the prepulse wavelength back into the radiation generating chamber or into at least one beam trap.

  • Patent number: 11967833
    Abstract: When selectively erasing one sub-block, a control circuit applies, in a first sub-block, a first voltage to bit lines and a source line, and applies a second voltage smaller than the first voltage to the word lines. Then, the control circuit applies a third voltage lower than the first voltage by a certain value to a drain-side select gate line and a source-side select gate line, thereby performing the erase operation in the first sub-block. The control circuit applies, in a second sub-block existing in an identical memory block to the selected sub-block, a fourth voltage substantially identical to the first voltage to the drain side select gate line and the source side select gate line, thereby not performing the erase operation in the second sub-block.

  • Patent number: 11963899
    Abstract: A formable cast (100), brace (180) or splint is provided herein which comprises a padding (101), an outer shell (103) spaced apart from the padding, and a ridge (109) disposed along the perimeter of the shell. The ridge, shell and padding define an interior space (115), with a curable polymeric material disposed in the interior space. The curable polymeric material undergoes a phase transition, upon curing, from a liquid or gel phase to a substantially rigid solid phase. The cast (100), brace (180) or splint may be readily customized to the patient by fitting the cast to the patient's body, positioning the cast in the desired orientation, and curing the curable polymeric material through exposure to actinic radiation or by other suitable means.

  • Patent number: 11968901
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a displaying substrate, a manufacturing method thereof, and a display panel, and relates to the technical field of display. The displaying substrate comprises a first supporting base (1), plurality of vibrating element modules (2), and a display module (3). The display module (3) comprises display units (31), connecting units (32) and hollowed-out units (33). Each connecting unit (32) is located between two adjacent display units (31). Each hollowed-out unit (33) is located between two adjacent display units (31) except an area where the corresponding connecting unit (32) is located. The hollowed-out units (33) are provided with cavities (40) corresponding to the vibrating element modules (2). Orthographic projections of the hollowed-out units (33) on a reference plane cover orthographic projections of the vibrating element modules (2) on the reference plane. The vibrating element modules (2) and the cavities (40) form a transducer.

  • Patent number: 11967544
    Abstract: In providing electrical wire-like connections between at least one semiconductor die arranged on a semiconductor die mounting area of a substrate and an array of electrically-conductive leads in the substrate, pressure force is applied to the electrically-conductive leads in the substrate during bonding the wire-like connections to the electrically-conductive leads. Such a pressure force is applied to the electrically-conductive leads in the substrate via a pair of mutually co-operating force transmitting surfaces. These surfaces include a first convex surface engaging a second concave surface.

  • Patent number: 11966108
    Abstract: An LCD display, comprising an active display area, a backlight to illuminate the active display area, and an LCD display stack. The LCD display stack may comprise a substrate, a liquid crystal layer over the substrate, and liquid crystal cover layer. The substrate, the liquid crystal layer, and the liquid crystal cover layer define a liquid crystal cell. The LCD display stack has an edge seal extending between the substrate and the liquid cover layer, and extends over the active display area and beyond the active display area to bend around an edge of the backlight, such that the edge seal lies beyond the active display area.

  • Patent number: 11963900
    Abstract: A therapeutic orthopedic device is described. The orthopedic device serves to restrain and limit movement of a human arm and shoulder. The device comprises a torso pillow, a padded forearm support attached to the pillow and a shoulder strap that traverses the clavicle region of the opposite shoulder. The pillow is positioned to rest against the torso of a user and the strap is positioned over the opposite shoulder. The forearm support acts as a shelf upon which the user's forearm may rest in a natural position. Flexible straps extend from the forearm support, over the user's forearm, and engage with the pillow to secure the forearm.

  • Patent number: 11963903
    Abstract: Apparatus for reducing obstructive sleep apnea, snoring and/or nasal drainage, or improving sleep quality. One apparatus includes an upper member fitting portions of the interior and exterior surfaces of a user's upper dentition, and a lower member fitting similarly adjacent a user's lower dentition. The upper and lower members include molar and pre-molar extensions so that when the user bites or clenches, the upper right and lower right extensions impinge on one another in substantially overlapping fashion, as do the upper left and lower left extensions. The upper member includes a palate extension that extends posteriorly from the upper member in the region of the upper incisors, which introduces a tongue resting spot to compensate for the lowering of the mandible and restoring the proper tongue posture while sleeping. The oral devices may be produced by additive or subtractive manufacturing methods.
