  • Patent number: 7559678
    Abstract: An automatic warning light control device is applicable to an automobile and includes a controller electrically coupled to directional signal lights of the automobile. The controller is electrically coupled to a warning light system, a windshield wiper system, at least one door of the automobile, and a trunk lid. When the windshield is activated in a rain condition, or when the door or the trunk lid is not properly closed, the controller automatically activates the warning light system, wherein both directional signal lights blink simultaneously. When the directional signal lights are used for indication of direction, the directional signal lights are automatically switched from the warning mode to a direction indication mode where only the designated directional signal light blinks. Once the direction indication operation is completed, the directional signal lights automatically go back to the warning mode to blink simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 7393797
    Abstract: A method for thermal processing a semiconductor wafer is disclosed. A rapid thermal processing (RTP) chamber encompasses a heating means, a rotation means, and a cooling system for cooling walls of said RTP chamber. A semiconductor wafer is loaded into the RTP chamber just being cooling down to a first temperature by using the cooling system. When loading the semiconductor wafer, it has a temperature that is lower than the first temperature, thereby causing a tendency of particle deposition from the walls of the RTP chamber onto the semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer is pre-heated to a second temperature higher than the first temperature with the heating means, thereby eliminating the tendency of particle deposition. Upon reaching the second temperature, the rotation means is activated to start to rotate the semiconductor wafer, while the semiconductor wafer being ramped up to a third temperature.

  • Publication number: 20070048889
    Abstract: A wafer is provided, and a circuit layout including a first piezoresistive device layout and a second piezoresistive device layout is formed on the front surface of the wafer. The first piezoresistive device layout includes a plurality of first nodes and the second piezoresistive device layout includes a plurality of second nodes. Subsequently, a dielectric layer is formed on the circuit layout, and the dielectric layer is patterned to expose either the first nodes or the second nodes. Thereafter, a connection pattern is formed on the dielectric layer to electrically connect the first nodes or the second nodes.
