Abstract: The present invention relates to a pad having a recessive antenna and being mounted in an electronic device, comprises a pad mounted on a base plate of the electronic device and an antenna configured inside the pad. By the aforesaid structure, the electronic devices having wireless connectivity, such as multimedia computers, notebooks, or CD/DVD players, would then have more space for other functional design as well as easier assembly of the antenna.

Abstract: A wireless mouse comprising an operating interface, a wireless communication module and a control unit is provided. The wireless communication module is for communicating with a receiver electrically coupled to a computer. When the operating interface is continuously pressed for a first particular period of time, the control unit controls the wireless mouse to enter a power-saving mode. When the operating interface is continuously pressed for a second particular period of time, the control unit recognizes the identity of the wireless mouse via the wireless communication module and the receiver.

Abstract: Systems and methods for IP multicast packet burst absorption and multithreaded replication architecture are disclosed. Replications of IP multicast packets are performed in a control plane of a network device. The network device may include a data plane for transmitting data between ingress and egress ports and a control plane including a shared transmit/receive queue infrastructure configured to queue incoming multicast packets to be replicated on a per ingress port basis and to queue transmit packets, and a multicast processing engine in communication with the shared queue infrastructure and including a circular replication buffer to facilitate multithreaded replication of multicast packets on a per egress virtual local area network (VLAN) replication basis. The shared transmit/receive queue infrastructure may dynamically allocate memory between the transmit and receive multicast queues.

Abstract: Systems and methods for committed access rate (CAR) system architecture in an IP/Ethernet network with optional dynamic packet memory reservation are disclosed. The method includes classifying each received packet into a quality of service (QoS) group using the packet header information, defining a traffic transmission rate profile such as by using a token bucket model to measure and check the traffic rate profile of the incoming packet against a corresponding service level agreement (SLA), marking the packet as in profile or out of profile, and performing packet buffer memory reservation to guarantee memory space for in profile CAR packets. Buffer memory reservation may be via static or dynamic memory reservation. Dynamic memory reservation eliminates the need for hard boundaries to restrict non-CAR packets. A push-out (e.g., head-drop) mechanism may be employed to push out non-CAR packets when the network traffic is congested.

Abstract: A method of removing thin film layers of a semiconductor component suitable for exposing a defective thin film layer for failure analysis. A focused ion beam is used instead of conventional mechanical polishing in non-selectively etching the thin film layers above a defective thin film layer in a semiconductor component. The focused ion beam has a better control over the etching thickness, so that a higher sample point success rate is obtained from a test specimen. Processing time is saved using the focused ion beam, which requires only a few minutes compared with hours needed by the conventional mechanical polishing method. The focused ion beam performs localized etching only, so that the thin film layers of other sample points in the test specimen will be unaffected. Therefore, a number of sample points can be prepared on the same test specimen at the same time.
