  • Publication number: 20240087896
    Abstract: Methods of forming line-end extensions and devices having line-end extensions are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes forming a patterned photoresist on a first region of a hard mask layer. A line-end extension region is formed in the hard mask layer. The line-end extension region extends laterally outward from an end of the first region of the hard mask layer. The line-end extension region may be formed by changing a physical property of the hard mask layer at the line-end extension region.

  • Patent number: 11226707
    Abstract: A touch screen panel is provided, which includes a plurality of first electrodes, a plurality of first etched lines, a plurality of second electrodes, and a plurality of second etched lines. The first electrodes are formed along a first direction and separated by the first etched lines. The second electrodes are formed along a second direction and separated by the second etched lines. A largest width of the first and second etched lines is C, and each of a plurality of overlapping regions formed by projecting the first and second etched lines in a third direction have an area less than or equal to C squared. The first, second, and third directions are perpendicular to each other.

  • Publication number: 20190060680
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an emergency escape apparatus for high-rise evacuation. The emergency escape apparatus for high-rise evacuation comprises a main conveying track, perpendicularly set up on an outer wall of a building, with a S-shaped circular track formed by a main guide rail section and a plurality of turning and joining sections; a plurality of branch conveying tracks, each being an inclined track and arranged, corresponding to each of the turning and joining sections, at an external connection passage on each floor of the building; and a plurality of conveying carriers, respectively slidably arranged on the branch conveying tracks and close to the external connection passages. Thereby, even in the event of a fire or other disaster, even a person in a building of an ultra-high floor can be moved quickly to the safe area by means of the emergency escape device of the present invention.

  • Patent number: 10037110
    Abstract: A touch panel includes a first transparent conductive wire and a second transparent conductive wire. The first transparent conductive wire is of a first conductive layer and the second transparent conductive wire is of a second conductive layer. The first transparent conductive wire includes a first conductive portion parallel to a first axis and a second conductive portion parallel to a second axis, wherein the first transparent conductive portion and the second transparent conductive portion commonly have a first overlapping area. The second transparent conductive wire includes a third conductive portion parallel to the first axis and a fourth conductive portion parallel to the second axis, wherein the third transparent conductive portion and the fourth transparent conductive portion commonly have a second overlapping area. The projection centroid of the first overlapping area is not in the same position as the projection centroid of the second overlapping area.
