  • Publication number: 20240162333
    Abstract: Semiconductor devices and methods of manufacturing are presented in which inner spacers for nanostructures are manufactured. In embodiments a dielectric material is deposited for the inner spacer and then treated.

  • Patent number: 11985427
    Abstract: A display device includes a display module and a camera module. The camera module includes a first housing, a second housing and a camera unit. The first housing is movably disposed on the display module. The second housing is separably connected to the first housing. The camera unit is disposed on the second housing. The second housing is able to move with the first housing in relative to the display module, such that the camera unit is exposed from the display module or hidden in the display module. When the second housing is separated from the first housing, the second housing is able to rotate in relative to the first housing, so as to adjust an orientation of the camera unit.

  • Patent number: 11975243
    Abstract: The present disclosure is relates to a TPU ball structure and a manufacturing method thereof. The TPU ball structure includes a ball bladder layer, a yarn layer and a surface layer. The ball bladder layer is made of TPU material. The yarn layer is made of TPU material, and the yarn layer is disposed to cover the ball bladder layer. The surface layer is made of TPU material, and the surface layer is disposed to cover the yarn layer. The above layers of the TPU ball structure are made of TPU material to satisfy a requirement for environmental protection, and are recyclable. There is no need to use adhesive to adhere the above layers of the TPU ball structure. Therefore, the peeling strength between the layers of the TPU ball structure can be increased so that the whole peeling strength of the TPU ball structure can be increased.

  • Patent number: 11944412
    Abstract: A blood pressure detection device manufactured by a semiconductor process includes a substrate, a microelectromechanical element, a gas-pressure-sensing element, a driving-chip element, an encapsulation layer and a valve layer. The substrate includes inlet apertures. The microelectromechanical element and the gas-pressure-sensing element are stacked and integrally formed on the substrate. The encapsulation layer is encapsulated and positioned on the substrate. A flowing-channel space is formed above the microelectromechanical element and the gas-pressure-sensing element. The encapsulation layer includes an outlet aperture in communication with an airbag. The driving-chip element controls the microelectromechanical element, the gas-pressure-sensing element and valve units to transport gas.

  • Publication number: 20230090558
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a system for pre-wetting a filter includes a filter, a piping system, a first gas, a second gas, a first buffer tank, and a second buffer tank. The first gas drives the solvent to clean the filter. The two buffer tanks store the solvent discharged from the filter. The second gas selectively drives the solvent in the first buffer tank to return to the filter and then to be discharged into the second buffer tank. Alternatively, the second gas selectively drives the solvent in the second buffer tank to return to the filter and then to be discharged into the first buffer tank.

  • Patent number: 10023257
    Abstract: A waterproof end cap for covering and closing an end hole of a bicycle head tube includes a threaded locking base, a locking member, and a sealing cover. The threaded locking base is engaged in the end hole. The locking member has large- and small-diameter portions. The end of the large-diameter portion that faces away from the small-diameter portion has an outwardly extending annular plate. The small-diameter portion is externally threaded, extends into the end hole, and threadedly connects with the threaded hole of the threaded locking to base such that the annular plate is pulled to cover the end hole. The sealing cover is larger than the annular plate in diameter and has opposite first and second sides. The first side is free of water-holding spaces. The second side covers the annular plate detachably through elastic engagement. Water can neither accumulate on nor leak through the sealing cover.
