Publication number: 20250131171Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for identifying excess antennas (or antenna diodes) in a IC design using computer software tools. An IC design can be changed for any number of reasons, which can change the number of antennas that are required to sufficiently protect the IC from damage during the fabrication process. Currently, a chip designer would use a ratio to determine whether a portion of the IC (e.g., a macro) has too many or too few antennas. The embodiments herein describe techniques where computer software tools identify excess antennas for the designer. The designer can then decide whether to remove these antennas. In another embodiment, the computer software tools may automatically remove some or all of the identified excess antennas, without input from the chip designer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2023Publication date: April 24, 2025Inventors: Amanda Christine VENTON, Eric Chien LAI, David WOLPERT, Michael Alexander BOWEN, Miles C.

Patent number: 11874713Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body including a first part and a second part hinged to each other, a second body, and a hinge structure hinged between an edge of the second body and the second part. The first part has a recess. When the second body is unfolded relative to the first body from a folded state to a first unfolded state, the hinge structure pushes against the first part to rotate the first part relative to the second part. When the second body is continuously unfolded relative to the first body from the first unfolded state to a second unfolded state, the edge of the second body pushes against the first part, so that the first part continues to rotate relative to the second part. When the second body is in the folded state, the hinge structure is at least partially accommodated in the recess.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2022Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Wei-Ting Chen, Tzu-Chien Lai, I-Hsuan Tsai, Chien Chiu, I-Lung Chen, Tsai-Sheng Yang
