  • Publication number: 20240135990
    Abstract: A resistive memory apparatus including a memory cell array, at least one dummy transistor and a control circuit is provided. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory cells. Each of the memory cells includes a resistive switching element. The dummy transistor is electrically isolated from the resistive switching element. The control circuit is coupled to the memory cell array and the dummy transistor. The control circuit is configured to provide a first bit line voltage, a source line voltage and a word line voltage to the dummy transistor to drive the dummy transistor to output a saturation current. The control circuit is further configured to determine a value of a second bit line voltage for driving the memory cells according to the saturation current. In addition, an operating method and a memory cell array of the resistive memory apparatus are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9752374
    Abstract: An assembly has a liftable lid and a movable hinge module. The assembly includes an object having an opening, a lid rotatably arranged upon the opening, and a hinge module. The hinge module includes at least a shaft connected to the lid, a base, and at least a latch. The shaft is connected to the base and along with the base defines a rotating axis. The rotating axis is movably arranged between a close position and an open position. The latch fastens the lid over the opening. When the rotating axis is at close position, the lid closes upon the opening as a close state. When the rotating axis moves away from close position, the lid rotates and moves away from the opening to an open state. The rotating axis moves to open position.

  • Patent number: 9140040
    Abstract: A latch assembly with an automatic returning bolt includes a chassis, a bolt and an elastic element. The chassis has a pair of supporting boards and a guiding board located on one side of the pair of supporting boards. The guiding board is formed with a guiding slot. Each supporting board is formed with a receiving hole. The bolt has a main shaft, a lateral-guiding post and a restricting portion disposed on a periphery of the main shaft. The main shaft is slidably passed through the receiving holes of the supporting boards. The lateral-guiding post is slidably disposed in the guiding slot for limiting a stroke distance thereof. The elastic element is disposed between the restricting portion and one of the supporting boards, and constantly pushes one end of the main shaft to protrude outside the other supporting boards to lock a locking piece.
