  • Publication number: 20250067954
    Abstract: An optical member driving mechanism is provided. The optical member driving mechanism includes a first movable portion used for connecting an optical element, a fixed portion, a first driving assembly used for driving the first movable portion to rotate relative to the fixed portion, and a guiding assembly having a first intermediate element. The first movable portion is movable relative to the fixed portion. The guiding assembly is used for applying a first stabilized force to the first movable portion for making the first intermediate element be in contact with the first movable portion or the fixed portion. The first movable portion is rotatable relative to the fixed portion.

  • Patent number: 12237390
    Abstract: Methods and semiconductor structures are provided. A method according to the present disclosure includes receiving a workpiece that includes a first gate structure disposed over a first active region, a second gate structure disposed over a second active region, a first gate spacer extending along a sidewall of the first gate structure and disposed at least partially over a top surface of the first active region, a second gate spacer extending along a sidewall of the second gate structure and disposed at least partially over a top surface of the second active region, and a source/drain feature. The method also includes treating a portion of the first gate spacer and a portion of the second gate spacer with a remote radical of hydrogen or oxygen, removing the treated portions, and after the removal, depositing a metal fill material over the source/drain feature.

  • Patent number: 12204163
    Abstract: An optical system affixed to an electronic apparatus is provided, including a first optical module, a second optical module, and a third optical module. The first optical module is configured to adjust the moving direction of a first light from a first moving direction to a second moving direction, wherein the first moving direction is not parallel to the second moving direction. The second optical module is configured to receive the first light moving in the second moving direction. The first light reaches the third optical module via the first optical module and the second optical module in sequence. The third optical module includes a first photoelectric converter configured to transform the first light into a first image signal.

  • Publication number: 20140298059
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), a power integrated circuit (IC), and a central processing unit (CPU). When a standby mode of the electronic apparatus is set to a fast reboot mode, the CPU stops providing a clock signal to the DRAM and controls the power IC to continuously supplying power to the DRAM, so that the DRAM enters a self-refresh mode.
