  • Publication number: 20240111849
    Abstract: A media docking device includes an input circuit, an output circuit and a processing circuit. The input circuit is electrically connected to a media source device for receiving media data. The output circuit is electrically connected to a media play device. The processing circuit is electrically connected to the input circuit and the output circuit. The processing circuit determines if a verification procedure is passed. If the verification procedure is passed, the processing circuit transfers the media data to the media play device. If the verification procedure is not passed, the processing circuit limits a transmission of the media data, such that the media data will not be completely played by the media play device.

  • Publication number: 20240114207
    Abstract: A media docking device includes an input module, an output module and a processing module. The input module is electrically connected to a media source device for receiving media data. The output module is electrically connected to a media play device. The processing module determines if an instruction is received from the media source device or a remote device. If the instruction is not received, the processing module transfers the media data to the output module to transmit to the media play device. If the instruction is received, the processing module limits a transmission of the media data according to the instruction, such that the media data will not be completely played by the media play device.

  • Patent number: 11916126
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate and a gate structure. The gate structure is disposed on the substrate, and the gate structure includes a titanium nitride barrier layer a titanium aluminide layer, and a middle layer. The titanium aluminide layer is disposed on the titanium nitride barrier layer, and the middle layer is disposed between the titanium aluminide layer and the titanium nitride barrier layer. The middle layer is directly connected with the titanium aluminide layer and the titanium nitride barrier layer, and the middle layer includes titanium and nitrogen. A concentration of nitrogen in the middle layer is gradually decreased in a vertical direction towards an interface between the middle layer and the titanium aluminide layer.

  • Patent number: 6974064
    Abstract: A nail gun includes a body which is provided with an upright slot and a horizontal slot. The upright slot is used to accommodate an explosive array while the horizontal slot is used to disposed a trigger mechanism for discharging nails by the force of the explosive array. The trigger mechanism has a link rod, an actuation rod, a nail firing tube, and a recovery spring. The link rod is triggered by the nail firing tube in motion to bring about the stretching of the recovery spring and the swiveling of the actuation rod such that a retaining hook of the actuation rod is retained in one of a series of retaining slots of the explosive array. The explosive array is forced to move upward by the retaining hook of the actuation rod at such time when the link rod is relieved of the pressure of the nail firing tube.

  • Patent number: 6932260
    Abstract: A nailer includes a gun body, a magazine, a feed plate, a washer barrel, a catch plate, and a locking ring. Thus, the washer is closely positioned between the catch flange of the feed plate and the locking ring, thereby facilitating a user combining the washer with the nail. In addition, the locking ring is tensioned only when the washer passes through the locking ring, so that the locking ring is not maintained at the tightened state constantly, thereby preventing the locking ring from producing fatigue, and thereby enhancing the lifetime of the locking ring. Further, the locking ring is used to stop washers made of plastic or metallic material, thereby enhancing the versatility of the nailer.

  • Patent number: 6918523
    Abstract: A nailer includes a nailer body and a spacer actuator design. The spacer actuator design has a container tube and a flexible propelling unit. A liftable cover is screwed into the top of a container tube. In the case of a closing state of the cover, the hollow trough cover can be connected to the open-top hollow tube of the container tube. A L-shape guide trough is mounted at one side wall of the hollow trough and a wedge groove is placed at the end of L-shape guide trough, where a vertical guide trough is provided at one side wall of the container tube's hollow tube. In the case of a closing state of the cover, the top end of the vertical guide trough will be connected to L-shape guide trough. A propelling unit includes a propelling block, a spring and a control board, of which the spring is mounted between the control board and inner wall of hollow trough to push down the propelling block flexibly. The outer face of the control board is provided with a toggle switch that protrudes from L-shape guide trough.

  • Publication number: 20030102350
    Abstract: A washer feeding device attached to a nail gun is provided. The washer feeding device comprises a hollow cylindrical washer receiving cylinder having a plurality of washers stacked therein. The washer receiving cylinder comprises the following elements. A ring-like first stop member is inwardly extended from the top edge. The inner diameter of the first stop member is smaller than the diameter of the washer by a predetermined value. A flexible second stop member is temporarily snapped to the bottom. A bias mechanism on the washer receiving cylinder serves for pressing the topmost washer downwardly; and a pneumatic delivery mechanism serves for pushing the bottommost washer into the nail gun. The washers are prevented from dropping from either end of the washer receiving cylinder in storage. Also, the washers are free to leave the washer receiving cylinder through the second stop member in operation.
