Patent number: 7012971Abstract: A channel quality assessment with short assessment time and good frequency resolution is disclosed. Some channels are grouped and their detecting results are collected as whale to determine the channel quality. The channel quality is determined by interference collision ratio, which is the ratio of the number of interference events to the sum of the number of interference events and interference-free events. Interfered channels are disabled form the group. The Channel quality of each of plurality of channels is determined from detection results of each of plurality of groups so as to have a short assessment time and meanwhile a good frequency resolution may be retained.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2001Date of Patent: March 14, 2006Assignee: Mediatek Inc.Inventors: Hung-Kun Chen, Kwang-Cheng Chen

Patent number: 6988812Abstract: A lighting apparatus. The lighting apparatus comprises a light source, a hollow hollow module, and a rectangular lens. The hollow module has a concave, a opening, and an inner reflective surface. The light source is disposed in the concave. The rectangular lens with a semi-translucent incident surface and a display surface is seated in the opening. Light rays emitted from the light source are reflected by the inner surface. Subsequently, the light rays enter the incident surface and exit the lens through the display surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2003Date of Patent: January 24, 2006Assignee: BenQ CorporationInventor: Shih-Lung Hsu

Patent number: 6987303Abstract: A method to form a SCR device in the manufacture of an integrated circuit device is achieved. The method comprises providing a SOI substrate comprising a silicon layer overlying a buried oxide layer. The silicon layer further comprises a first well of a first type and a second well of a second type. A first heavily doped region of the first type is formed in the second well to form an anode terminal. A second heavily doped region of the second type is formed in the first well to form a cathode terminal and to complete the SCR device. A gate isolation method is described. A salicide method is described. LVT-SCR methods, including a floating-well, LVT-SCR method, are described.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2003Date of Patent: January 17, 2006Assignee: Taiwan Semicondcutor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ta Lee Yu

Patent number: 6017662Abstract: A method of reducing laser mark peeling depends on what sort of layer lies over the laser mark. If a structure formed on the laser mark is a conductive layer, an adhesion layer or a passivation layer, the conductive layer, adhesion layer or passivation layer is removed from the laser mark. If a structure formed on a laser mark is a dielectric layer, the dielectric layer is left on the laser mark. The area removed from the upper layer is equal to or bigger than the area removed from the lower layer in order to avoid contacts between the conductive layers. In addition to being used for a laser mark, the method mentioned above can be also used for a wafer edge and an alignment mark.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1998Date of Patent: January 25, 2000Assignee: United Microelectronics Corp.Inventor: Tzung-Han Lee
