  • Publication number: 20240079497
    Abstract: Provided are a transistor structure and a method of forming the same. The transistor structure includes a gate electrode; a gate dielectric layer, disposed on the gate electrode; an active layer, disposed on the gate dielectric layer; a pair of source/drain (S/D) features, disposed on the active layer; and an isolation structure, laterally surrounding the pair of S/D features, wherein the isolation structure at least comprises a blocking layer and an upper dielectric layer on the blocking layer.

  • Patent number: 9876437
    Abstract: An interleaved transformer or a transformer and integrated set of inductors formed via a magnetic structure comprising a set of E cores and an I core inserted between the set of E cores is provided in order to address issues that occur when a structured transformer is coupled together with inductor flux. Actual inductance exhibited by the transformers is controlled by a preselected precise gap between the I core and each of the E cores. The advantage of such a structured transformer cancels out the magnetic flux in certain legs of the magnetic structure requiring less magnetic material and thus, less core losses while improving the overall efficiency of a power supply.

  • Patent number: 8484791
    Abstract: The present invention consists of a pad that is curved to fit the inside surface of a toilet. The pad is large enough to cover the entire inside surface of the toilet. The lower portion of the pad is submerged into the trapped water at the bottom of the toilet. A part of the trapped water sucks up to the pad through the fibers of the pad materials. The wet pad stays on the surface of the toilet bowl. The leaning agent stored in the cleaning pad works with the stain on the bowl surface to clean the surface.

  • Patent number: 8082655
    Abstract: A method includes forming a winding structure from a single sheet of electrically conductive material, where the winding structure includes a winding base and multiple winding extensions extending from the winding base as a continuous piece of the electrically conductive material. The multiple winding extensions include a base portion that extends from the winding base along a first face of a fully assembled magnetic core, a wrapping portion that extends from the base portion along a second face of the fully assembled magnetic core, and a connection portion that extends from the wrapping portion along a third face of the fully assembled magnetic core, the connection portion comprising an electrical connection surface. The base portion, the wrapping portion, and the connection portion of each winding extend from the winding base such that the integrated windin structure is shaped for placement over the full assembled magnetic core in a single motion.

  • Publication number: 20110209340
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for combining multiple windings on a magnetic core. An integrated winding structure has a winding base and multiple winding extensions. The multiple winding extensions and the winding base are formed from a single sheet of electrically conductive material. Each of the multiple winding extensions has a base portion that extends from the winding base, a wrapping portion that extends from the base portion, and a connection portion that extends from the wrapping portion. The connection portions and the winding base each have electrical connection surfaces. Each of the multiple winding extensions forms one or more windings on the magnetic core.

  • Patent number: 4921080
    Abstract: A hydraulic shock absorber for a vehicle comprising a hydraulic cylinder with a piston which divides the cylinder into an upper compartment and a lower compartment, a damping chamber, and a return chamber. A control valve is provided in the path from the damping chamber to the upper compartment. A shock sensor is provided to detect the shock to which the vehicle is subject. When the shock exceeds a predetermined level, the shock sensor will give a signal to the control valve to close it, thus ensuring the shock to be absorbed by a spring in the damping chamber.
