  • Publication number: 20110043637
    Abstract: An image pickup device includes a main body, an image pickup assembly, and a cover. The image pickup assembly is located in the main body and has an image pickup section and an infrared emitter section. The image pickup section has a lens, a light filter, and a light sensing element. The light filter is located between the lens and the light sensing element to allow visible light and infrared light of a predetermined wavelength to pass therethrough and reach at the light sensing element. The cover is located on the main body to cover the image pickup assembly, and has an image pickup window positioned corresponding to the image pickup section and an emission window positioned corresponding to the infrared emitter section. With these arrangements, the image pickup device can be used to pick up images of an object in a fully dark environment.

  • Patent number: 7881303
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a node comprises a packet scheduler configured to schedule packets to be transmitted on a link and an interface circuit coupled to the packet scheduler and configured to transmit the packets on the link. The interface circuit is configured to generate error detection data covering the packets, wherein the error detection data is transmitted between packets on the link. The interface circuit is configured to cover up to N packets with one transmission of error detection data, where N is an integer >=2. The number of packets covered with one transmission of error detection data is determined by the interface circuit dependent on an availability of packets to transmit. In another embodiment, the interface circuit is configured to dynamically vary a frequency of transmission of the error detection data on the link based on an amount of bandwidth being consumed on the link.

  • Publication number: 20080304245
    Abstract: A method for discharging an electronic device on a substrate is provided. A metal pin mounted on a wire bonder is used to touch with a specific finger disposed on the substrate which is in electrical connection with the electronic device. As a result, the electric charge previously stored in the electronic device will be conducted to the wire bonder through the specific finger and metal pin thereby discharging the stored charge. Another method for discharging an electronic device on a substrate is also provided. A metal wire protruding out from the capillary of a wire bonder is heated to form a metal ball at the capillary. The capillary is moved to bring the metal ball into contact with the specific finger. As a result, the electric charge previously stored in the electronic device will thus can be discharged to the wire bonder. The present invention further provides a semiconductor package.
