  • Publication number: 20170002869
    Abstract: A drive shaft assembly comprising a first shaft and a second shaft is disclosed. The second shaft is axially translatable from an engaged configuration with the first shaft at one limit of its travel to a disengaged configuration from the first shaft at the opposite limit of its travel. Engagement of the first and second shafts is via cooperating helical splines provided thereon. The helical splines give rise to a disengaging axial force on the second shaft in a fault condition in which a driving torque is applied from one of the first and second shafts to the helical splines in a rotational direction tending to unscrew the helical splines. Consequently when the second shaft is in the engaged configuration the disengaging axial force translates the second shaft to the disengaged configuration.

  • Publication number: 20160224498
    Abstract: A method for effectively transmitting data, in which a switch is connected between a plurality host and storage, comprises steps of the following. First, the hosts recognize the storages via the switch, and revise a data transmission path within an original command, meanwhile transforming it into a specific command. Later, the switch receives the specific command, alternatively revises the data transmission path or not, and transforms the specific command into a standard command. The standard command is then transmitted to the storage. After receiving it, the storage is able to search for a corresponding host based on the data transmission path such that data is simply transmitted between the storage and its corresponding host. By employing the proposed method, the present invention is beneficial to reducing system complexity and raising data transmission efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20160043188
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to deceasing off-state leakage current within a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). The MOSFET includes source and drain regions. The source and drain regions are separated by a channel region. A gate is arranged over the channel region. The gate has a first gate region adjacent to the source region and a second gate region adjacent to the drain region. The first gate region is selectively doped adjacent the source region. The second gate region is undoped or lightly-doped. The undoped or lightly-doped second gate region reduces the electric field between the gate and the drain region, and hence reduces a gate induced drain leakage (GIDL) current between the gate and drain region. The undoped or lightly-doped region of the gate can reduce the GIDL current within the MOSFET by about three orders of magnitude. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
