  • Patent number: 11996470
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor fin. The semiconductor device includes first spacers over the semiconductor fin. The semiconductor device includes second spacers over the semiconductor fin. The second spacers vertically extend farther from the semiconductor fin than the first spacers. The semiconductor device includes a metal gate over the semiconductor fin, the metal gate is sandwiched by the first spacers. The metal gate includes a glue layer that contains tantalum nitride.

  • Publication number: 20240088027
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes an inductor that includes a first set of conductors in at least a first metal layer, and a guard ring enclosing the inductor. The guard ring includes a first conductor extending in a first direction, a second conductor extending in a second direction, and a first set of staggered conductors coupled to a first end of the first conductor and a first end of the second conductor. The first set of staggered conductors includes a second set of conductors in a second metal layer, a third set of conductors in a third metal layer and a first set of vias coupling the second set of conductors with the third set of conductors. The third metal layer is above the second metal layer. All metal lines in the second metal layer that are part of the guard ring extend in the first direction.

  • Patent number: 8344914
    Abstract: Provided is an intelligent multi-axial intuitive joystick suitable for use by both left-handers and right-handers and applicable to machine tools, measuring equipment, cars, and so on, which require moving instructions. The joystick features at most four-axis output control, multiple output modes to select from, a dead-band setting function, axial angle shift detection, origin calibration, feedback from axial force application, Z- and C-axis intuitive operation, working status display, and system surveillance.

  • Patent number: 7665855
    Abstract: A rotating window includes a circular base member, a transparent window, and a magneto-conductive element, which are assembled into an electric motor device. By this rotating window, area of transparent region of the transparent window is increased, an outer diameter of a central shaft hole is decreased, and a support bracket is designed as an I-shape or a half I-shape, thereby largely decreasing barriers to the transparent window, allowing a user to conveniently see through scenery or objects at one side of the transparent window without a dead angle. In case that the rotating window is hit by objects and rotates eccentrically, an air gap of the motor disappears, and an entire frame of the rotating window will be absorbed magnetically to the magneto-conductive element, thereby improving safety to people and objects.
