  • Patent number: 11967395
    Abstract: A buffer circuit and a multiplexer using the buffer are provided. The buffer may selectively operate at a first mode or a second mode. The buffer includes a first signal input terminal, a first signal output terminal, and a path circuit coupled between the first signal input terminal and the first signal output terminal. The path circuit has a voltage source terminal. In response to the buffer operating at the first mode, a first signal transmission path is formed in the path circuit and between the first signal input terminal and the first signal output terminal. The first signal transmission path is disconnected from the voltage source terminal.

  • Publication number: 20230237969
    Abstract: A display device is disclosed. The display device includes a display panel, a backlight module, and a processor. The display panel displays a display screen. The backlight module provides a backlight brightness to the display panel. The processor generates the display screen and determines the backlight brightness corresponding to the display screen. The processor dynamically adjusts a size and a position of several display areas on the display screen based on an instant state of the continuous image signal respectively. The processor determines several backlight areas corresponding to several display areas respectively, and the processor generates several backlight control signals corresponding to several backlight areas respectively based on the display setting and several image contents.

  • Publication number: 20230185423
    Abstract: A video conference device includes a camera, a communication circuit and a processor. The camera is configured to capture a real-time video of a first location. The communication circuit is communicatively connected to a remote server and a first electronic device located at the first location. The processor executes an online conference application, and processes the real-time video and real-time visual signals received from the remote server via the communication circuit. The processor executes the online conference application to establish or join an online video conference on the remote server. The processor obtains first authentication information from the first electronic device via the communication circuit, sends the first authentication information for identity authentication, and receives first operation authorizations granted to the first electronic device by the remote server based on the first authentication information.

  • Patent number: 9115271
    Abstract: Disclosed is a carbon nanotube powder, including a carbon nanotube averagely mixed with a dispersant, wherein the carbon nanotube and the dispersant have a weight ratio of 30:70 to 90:10. The carbon nanotube has a diameter of 10 nm to 100 nm, and a length/diameter ratio of 100:1 to 5000:1. The dispersant is an alternative copolymer, a block copolymer, or a random copolymer polymerized of a solvation segment (A) and a carbon affinity group (B). The carbon nanotube powder can be blended with a thermoplastic material to form a composite, wherein the carbon nanotube and the composite have a weight ratio of 0.5:100 to 50:100.

  • Patent number: 7621624
    Abstract: A highly-efficient ultrasonic wave ink-jet head includes a piezoelectric transducer and a Fresnel lens provided on a supporting layer. A chamber structure is fabricated on the supporting layer by lithography etching, and further bonded with an ink-storing groove to form an ink-jet head. The design provides a total reflection of ultrasonic waves generated on the opposite side of the piezoelectric transducer through the deviation of acoustic impedance of ultrasonic waves at different media. The sound energy of the ultrasonic wave can be effectively reused. Moreover, the phase of the reflected ultrasonic wave is consistent with that of the direct ultrasonic wave generated by the piezoelectric transducer. This forms a highly-efficient ultrasonic wave ink-jet head.

  • Patent number: 6695946
    Abstract: A cooling system and a semiconductor apparatus, in which the cooling system may supply a reaction chamber with a coolant (such as helium or a mixture containing helium) during a semiconductor wafer fabrication process. The cooling system may generally include a printed circuit board, a coolant flow controller having a setpoint control to set a flow of coolant by transmitting a voltage signal to the printed circuit board, and a filter for removing undesired noise from the voltage signal to stabilize the flow of coolant.
