Patent number: 11940738Abstract: A photolithography system utilizes tin droplets to generate extreme ultraviolet radiation for photolithography. The photolithography system irradiates the droplets with a laser. The droplets become energized and emit extreme ultraviolet radiation. A collector reflects the extreme ultraviolet radiation toward a photolithography target. The photolithography system reduces splashback of the tin droplets onto the receiver by generating a net electric charge within the droplets using a charge electrode and decelerating the droplets by applying an electric field with a counter electrode.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Po-Ming Shih, Chi-Hung Liao

Publication number: 20030189361Abstract: A wheelchair has two sides each provided with a side support frame, an armrest, and an armrest adjusting device. The side support frame has a front portion provided with a support rack, and a rear portion provided with a positioning bar pivotally connected with a rotation shaft, so that the side support frame may be pivoted about the rotation shaft. The rotation shaft is rotatably mounted in the support shaft of the wheelchair, so that the side support frame and the rotation shaft may be rotated about the support shaft. Thus, the side support frame may be rotated about the support shaft through a fixed angle, so that the side support frame may be rotated and moved to a rear portion of the backrest of the wheelchair, thereby facilitating the user entering and leaving the wheelchair.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2002Publication date: October 9, 2003Inventors: Zen-Jye Chen, Wen-Huei Chung, Yen-Sheng Yang, Shsu-Tung Chu, Chi-Ming Shih

Patent number: 6328739Abstract: An enhanced spine fixation apparatus for fixing a number of vertebrae of a spine column is disclosed. The spine fixation apparatus comprises a plurality of pedicel screws, a plurality of coupling blocks, a plurality of first securing elements, a plurality of second securing elements, a connecting rod, and a plurality of third securing elements. Each coupling block is secured on a pedicel screw by the first securing element while the connecting rod is secured on the coupling block by the second securing element. Each first securing element is fixed by the third securing element. By virtue of the provisions of a first and a second spherical convex surfaces as well as a first and a second recesses respectively on the surfaces of the pedicel screw and the first securing element as well as the surfaces of the coupling block which are being abutted, an adjustment concerning a vertical tilt angle and a horizontal rotating angle of the coupling block relative to the pedicel screw is available.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1999Date of Patent: December 11, 2001Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chien-Lin Liu, Chi-Ming Shih, Tze-Hong Wong, Ben-Hwa Jang, Wei-Tai Jao, Chih-Ming Wu, Chen-Dao Shaio, Audy Choeo
