  • Patent number: 11966628
    Abstract: A memory device, includes a memory array for storing a plurality of vector data each of which has an MSB vector and a LSB vector. The memory array includes a plurality of memory units each of which has a first bit and a second bit. The first bit is used to store the MSB vector of each vector data, the second bit is used to store the LSB vector of each vector data. A bit line corresponding to each vector data executes one time of bit-line-setup, and reads the MSB vector and the LSB vector of each vector data according to the bit line. The threshold voltage distribution of each memory unit is divided into N states, where N is a positive integer and N is less than 2 to the power of 2, and the effective bit number stored by each memory unit is less than 2.

  • Patent number: 11923205
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: providing a wafer-bonding stack structure having a sidewall layer and an exposed first component layer; forming a photoresist layer on the first component layer; performing an edge trimming process to at least remove the sidewall layer; and removing the photoresist layer. In this way, contaminant particles generated from the blade during the edge trimming process may fall on the photoresist layer but not fall on the first component layer, so as to protect the first component layer from being contaminated.

  • Publication number: 20240071988
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure is provided. The method includes: providing a substrate and a dielectric layer on the substrate; forming a hole in the dielectric layer; forming an initial barrier material layer and a conductive layer on an upper surface of the dielectric layer and in the hole; removing part of the initial barrier material layer and part of the conductive layer to form a barrier material layer and a via element in the hole respectively and expose the upper surface of the dielectric layer. An upper surface of the barrier material layer is higher than the upper surface of the dielectric layer.

  • Patent number: 9784104
    Abstract: An engine includes a cylinder system, a driving system including a piston and a crankshaft, a power generating system and a cooling system. The power generating system is disposed on a side of the driving system and includes a generator and a counterweight. The generator includes a main body and a rotor pivotally disposed within the main body. The cooling system is disposed on an opposite side of the driving system and includes a first water pump in fluid communication with the cylinder system. An outline of the rotor is projected along the crankshaft to form a first projecting zone. Projections of the first water pump and the driving system along the crankshaft overlap the first projecting zone.

    Abstract: An engine includes an air cylinder system, a driving system including a piston and a crankshaft, a power generating system and a cooling system. The power generating system is disposed on a side of the driving system and includes a generator and a counterweight. The generator includes a main body and a rotor pivotally disposed within the main body. The cooling system is disposed on an opposite side of the driving system and includes a first water pump in fluid communication with the air cylinder system. An outline of the rotor is projected along the crankshaft to forma first projecting zone. Projections of the first water pump and the driving system along the crankshaft are located almost wholly in the first projecting zone.

  • Patent number: 8060736
    Abstract: A navigation system and method that allows switching between multi-language operating interfaces. It provides multi-language operating interfaces in the storage unit of the navigation system. During the navigation system operation, the user is prompted by Basic Input Output System (BIOS) to select a language of operating interface to display. The navigation system is then installed by executing the index file of the selected language to display the navigation system operating interface in the selected language.
