Abstract: An electronic camera assembly includes a camera chip cube bonded to camera bondpads of an interposer; at least one light-emitting diode (LED) bonded to LED bondpads of the interposer at the same height as the camera bondpads; and a housing extending from the interposer and LEDs to the height of the camera chip cube, with light guides extending from the LEDs through the housing to a top of the housing. In embodiments, the electronic camera assembly includes a cable coupled to the interposer. In typical embodiments the camera chip cube has footprint dimensions of less than three and a half millimeters square.

Abstract: A semiconductor device, including a substrate, a first source/drain region, a second source/drain region, and a gate structure, is provided. The substrate has an extra body portion and a fin protruding from a top surface of the substrate, wherein the fin spans the extra body portion. The first source/drain region and the second source/drain region are in the fin. The gate structure spans the fin, is located above the extra body portion, and is located between the first source/drain region and the second source/drain region.

Abstract: The conversion device is connected, by a wired or wireless means, to an input/output port of a computing device installed with an instant messaging software. As instant messages are exchanged, the conversion device is activated by the instant messaging software to produce audio and/or visual responses in accordance with specific texts, symbols, and graphical images contained in the messages received. The conversion device could have an appealing appearance such as a doll, a puppet, or a toy figure. The conversion device can further contain at least an actuation mechanism such that, when activated, the conversion device sends a specific signal to the instant messaging software which encodes and packages the signal into a message and delivers the message to a remote computing device.

Abstract: A computing device whose components are separately housed in a main enclosure and at least a secondary enclosure is provided herein. The motherboard, power supply, adaptor card, hard disk drive, etc., are housed in the main enclosure while the peripheral storage devices of the computing device such as optical disk drives and hard disk drives are placed in at least a secondary enclosure. An appropriate signal link is maintained between the main enclosure and the secondary enclosure so that the components in the main enclosure could access the peripheral storage device in the secondary enclosure. Additionally, the secondary enclosure could be connected to another device such as a second computer or a TV so as to share the peripheral storage device in the secondary enclosure.

Abstract: An enclosure for housing various components of a computing device is provided herein, which contains at least three L-shaped corner members, at least three elongated wall members, a top cover member, and a bottom cover member. The corner members and the wall members are interleaved and joined to form a polygonal circumference for the enclosure. The top and bottom cover members are fixed to the top and bottom of the circumference respectively into a closed, polygonal-shaped enclosure so that a component of the computing device such as the motherboard, optical disk drive, hard disk drive, etc., could be housed therewithin.
