  • Publication number: 20240141916
    Abstract: A ceiling fan and a structure thereof are provided. The structure includes a blade holder, a plurality of blades, and a plurality of positioning elements. The blade holder includes a holder body and a plurality of support platforms. The holder body has a plurality of first matching structures spaced apart from each other. Each of the support platforms includes a first positioning structure. Each of the blades has a second matching structure and a second positioning structure. The second matching structures can be guided by the first matching structures, so that each of the blades is disposed at an installation position on one of the support platforms along an oblique track. When each of the blades is located at the installation position, the first positioning structures and the second positioning structures abut against each other.

  • Publication number: 20240113113
    Abstract: Methods of cutting gate structures, and structures formed, are described. In an embodiment, a structure includes first and second gate structures over an active area, and a gate cut-fill structure. The first and second gate structures extend parallel. The active area includes a source/drain region disposed laterally between the first and second gate structures. The gate cut-fill structure has first and second primary portions and an intermediate portion. The first and second primary portions abut the first and second gate structures, respectively. The intermediate portion extends laterally between the first and second primary portions. First and second widths of the first and second primary portions along longitudinal midlines of the first and second gate structures, respectively, are each greater than a third width of the intermediate portion midway between the first and second gate structures and parallel to the longitudinal midline of the first gate structure.

  • Patent number: 11462049
    Abstract: A fingerprint identification apparatus, including a light path adjustment element, an optical filter layer, and an image sensor, is provided. The light path adjustment element is disposed on a transmission path of an image beam from a fingerprint of a user. The optical filter layer is disposed on a transmission path of the image beam from the light path adjustment element. The optical filter layer has openings. An inclined image beam in the image beam is obliquely incident to the light path adjustment element. The light path adjustment element adjusts a light path of the inclined image beam to be transmitted to the openings along a normal direction. The image sensor is disposed on a transmission path of the image beam from the optical filter layer. The image sensor has pixels. Positions of the pixels respectively correspond to positions of the openings.
