  • Publication number: 20190334239
    Abstract: The present invention is a multi-frequency antenna device comprising a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer disposed on a first surface of an insulating substrate, wherein the second electrode layer is located outside periphery of the first electrode layer. A third electrode layer is disposed on a second surface of the insulating substrate, and the first surface and the second surface are separated by the insulating substrate. A conductive element penetrates the insulating substrate and is connected to the first electrode layer. A groove is disposed on a side surface and/or the second surface of the insulating substrate, and a projection of the groove on the first surface completely or partially overlaps the second electrode layer. An effective dielectric constant between the second electrode layer and the third electrode layer is changed through arrangement of the groove to adjust a resonance frequency generated by the second electrode layer.

  • Patent number: 10158022
    Abstract: A fin structure for a semiconductor device, such as a FinFET structure, has first and second semiconductor layers and an air gap between the layers. The second semiconductor layer includes a recessed portion, the air gap is located in the recessed portion, and the recessed portion has an upwardly-opening acute angle in the range from about 10° to about 55°. The air gap may prevent current leakage. A FinFET device may be manufactured by first recessing and then epitaxially re-growing a source/drain fin, with the regrowth starting over a tubular air gap.

  • Patent number: 10026443
    Abstract: An error is determined in a target track of a heat-assisted recording medium. The error triggers an error recovery procedure. The error recovery procedure involves storing data from at least part of an adjacent track that is immediately proximate the target track to another data storage location. The error recovery procedure also involves, for two or more iterations in which a laser power is incrementally changed from a lower power to a higher power, erasing at least part of the adjacent track at the laser power and attempting to recover the target track.
