  • Publication number: 20190180931
    Abstract: Disclosed are an inductor layout and an integrated circuit device with improved isolation between inductors through shielding magnetic coupling between the inductors. first and second inductor coils are horizontally spaced apart from each other. A conductor loop is disposed in parallel above the first inductor coil and shields magnetic coupling between the first and second inductor coils in the manner that a part of magnetic flux of a first time-varying magnetic field generated by the second inductor coil is cancelled by magnetic flux of a second magnetic field generated by an induction current that flows in the conductor loop magnetically interlinked with the first time-varying magnetic field. The inductor layout can be applied to an RFIC device to reduce magnetic coupling between inductors of a power amplifier and an oscillator. Improved performance of the device and a very small RFIC can be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20190177857
    Abstract: Provided is a surface structure having freezing-delaying performance and freezing layer-separating performance. The surface structure includes a microstructural layer formed in the form of microscale irregularities and a plurality of nanopores formed in the microstructural layer. A freezing-delaying layer is formed on a surface of the microstructural layer to delay a freezing phenomenon. Also, a hygroscopic material is accommodated in the nanopores, so that when a surface of the freezing-delaying layer starts to freeze, the hygroscopic material is discharged from the nanopores to form a hygroscopic material film, and thus adhesion between the freezing-delaying layer and ice is reduced to allow the ice to be detached from the freezing-delaying layer.

  • Publication number: 20190177758
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for modifying starch to slow down the digestion rate of modified starch. The present invention utilizes two-stage GBE treatment to convert the long straight-chain starch molecules into highly branched molecules with compact structures so as to decrease the digestion rate of the starch. During the two-stage treatment, granular starch was first treated with GBE, the treated starch was gelatinized in boiling water, and the gelatinized starch was treated with GBE for a second time, leading to an enhanced effect of GBE modification. Compared with the one-staged GBE modification, the two-stage GBE modification can further increase the content of slowly digestible starch in the modified starch and thus decrease the digestion rate of starch.
