Patent number: 11953877Abstract: Manufacturing of a shoe or a portion of a shoe is enhanced by executing various shoe-manufacturing processes in an automated fashion. For example, information describing a shoe part may be determined, such as an identification, an orientation, a color, a surface topography, an alignment, a size, etc. Based on the information describing the shoe part, automated shoe-manufacturing apparatuses may be instructed to apply various shoe-manufacturing processes to the shoe part, such as a pickup and placement of the shoe part with a pickup tool.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: NILE, Inc.Inventors: Dragan Jurkovic, Patrick Conall Regan, Chih-Chi Chang, Chang-chu Liao, Ming-Feng Jean, Kuo-Hung Lee, Yen-Hsi Liu, Hung-Yu Wu

Patent number: 11950016Abstract: The present invention provides a control method of a receiver. The control method includes the steps of: when the receiver enters a sleep/standby mode, continually detecting an auxiliary signal from an auxiliary channel to generate a detection result; and if the detection result indicates that the auxiliary signal has a preamble or a specific pattern, generating a wake-up control signal to wake up the receiver before successfully receiving the auxiliary signal having a wake-up command.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: MEDIATEK INC.Inventors: Chun-Chia Chen, Chih-Hung Pan, Chia-Chi Liu, Shun-Fang Liu, Meng-Kun Li, Chao-An Chen

Patent number: 11941298Abstract: A host system initiates an abort of a command that has been placed into a submission queue (SQ) of the host system. The host system identifies at least one of a first outcome and a second outcome. When the first outcome indicates that the command is not completed and the second outcome indicates that the SQ entry has been fetched from the SQ, the host system sends an abort request to a storage device, and issues a cleanup request to direct the host controller to reclaim host hardware resources allocated to the command. The host system adds a completion queue (CQ) entry to a CQ and sets an overall command status (OCS) value of the CQ entry based on at least one of the first outcome and the second outcome.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: MediaTek Inc.Inventors: Chih-Chieh Chou, Chia-Chun Wang, Liang-Yen Wang, Chin Chin Cheng, Szu-Chi Liu

Patent number: 11916077Abstract: The present disclosure describes an apparatus with a local interconnect structure. The apparatus can include a first transistor, a second transistor, a first interconnect structure, a second interconnect structure, and a third interconnect structure. The local interconnect structure can be coupled to gate terminals of the first and second transistors and routed at a same interconnect level as reference metal lines coupled to ground and a power supply voltage. The first interconnect structure can be coupled to a source/drain terminal of the first transistor and routed above the local interconnect structure. The second interconnect structure can be coupled to a source/drain terminal of the second transistor and routed above the local interconnect structure. The third interconnect structure can be routed above the local interconnect structure and at a same interconnect level as the first and second interconnect structures.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chih-Liang Chen, Cheng-Chi Chuang, Chih-Ming Lai, Chia-Tien Wu, Charles Chew-Yuen Young, Hui-Ting Yang, Jiann-Tyng Tzeng, Ru-Gun Liu, Wei-Cheng Lin, Lei-Chun Chou, Wei-An Lai

Patent number: 10639512Abstract: A resistance regulating device for a wheel of a training device is disclosed. The resistance regulating device comprises a rotary mechanism pivotally connected with a stationary mechanism and a motor with other components to rotate the rotary mechanism and hence a distance between magnets of the rotary mechanism and the wheel is changed. In addition, an optical detection device may be used to detect and define a minimum resistance and a maximum resistance and hence to adjust a resistance in a stepless manner. An emergency brake mechanism may be further employed.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Dyaco International Inc.Inventors: Feng-Ren Huang, Chih Chi Liu, Brian Murray, Peter Gillespie

Patent number: 8735176Abstract: The present invention relates to a metal oxide nano-composite magnetic material, fabrication method, and method for linkage, enrichment, and isolation of phosphorylated species. The metal oxide nano-composite magnetic material comprises the magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle, a silica layer immobilized onto the magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle and a metal oxide layer coated onto the silica layer. The magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles can be used for absorbing microwave radiation to accelerate the enrichment and linkage for phosphorylated species onto the metal oxide nano-composite magnetic material. Furthermore, the magnetic property of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles leads to isolation of the metal oxide nano-composite magnetic material-target species conjugates by simply employing an external magnetic field.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2008Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: National Chiao Tung UniversityInventors: Yu-Chie Chen, Cheng-Tai Chen, Wei-Yu Chen, Chun-Yuen Lo, Hong-Yi Lin, Chih-Chi Liu
