  • Patent number: 12046127
    Abstract: A video doorbell and an automatic setting method thereof are provided. The video doorbell includes a bridge rectifying unit, a switch unit, and a processing unit. The bridge rectifying unit is configured to output a DC voltage when receiving an AC power from a transformer. During a chime type detection mode, the switch unit is configured to switch a path of the AC power for generating a short-circuit current to trigger a chime. After the short-circuit current is kept for a detection time, the short-circuit current is terminated. During the chime type detection mode, when the short-circuit current is terminated, the processing unit detects a rising time of the DC voltage rising from a first level to a second level, and determine whether the chime is an analog chime or a digital chime according to the rising time.

  • Patent number: 12038693
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a photo mask for lithography, circuit pattern data are acquired. A pattern density, which is a total pattern area per predetermined area, is calculated from the circuit pattern data. Dummy pattern data for areas having pattern density less than a threshold density are generated. Mask drawing data is generated from the circuit pattern data and the dummy pattern data. By using an electron beam from an electron beam lithography apparatus, patterns are drawn according to the mask drawing data on a resist layer formed on a mask blank substrate. The drawn resist layer is developed using a developing solution. Dummy patterns included in the dummy pattern data are not printed as a photo mask pattern when the resist layer is exposed with the electron beam and is developed.

  • Patent number: 11630147
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a low-thermal resistance pressing device for a socket, which mainly comprises a housing, an inner collar, a heat conductive pressing block, a bearing collar and a locking member. The locking member on the housing is used to lock the socket. The inner collar is threadedly engaged with the housing. The bearing collar is located between the inner collar and the heat conductive pressing block. In the case of rotating the inner collar in the housing, the bearing collar drives the heat conductive pressing block to move axially so as to exert an axial force to a device to be tested. Because the heat conductive pressing block protrudes from the upper and lower surfaces of the housing, one end thereof can be in contact with a temperature control module, and the other end thereof can be in contact with the device to be tested.
