Abstract: A cart includes a main body, wheels, first drawers, at least one collecting bin and at least one driving unit. The wheels are disposed on the bottom of the main body. The first drawers are contained in a front space of the main body and are configured to be pulled out of the main body via a front surface thereof. The collecting bin is contained in a rear space of the main body. The collecting bin has an opening and an accommodation space communicated with the opening. The opening is located in the rear space such that the accommodation space is not exposed to the outside of the main body. The driving unit is coupled to the collecting bin and configured to receive an external triggering to turn the collecting bin out of the main body via a rear surface thereof, to expose the opening and the accommodation space.

Abstract: A dimming system is composed of a dimmer having switchable power modes and at least one lighting device. When the dimmer is in a non-dimming bypass mode, an input power is directly transmitted to the at least one lighting device with the dimmer being bypassed so that the circuit in the dimmer consumes no power. When the dimmer is in a dimming mode, an output selector of the dimmer outputs a dimming output power having a dimming command therein to each one of the at least one lighting device for each lighting device to decode the dimming command embedded in the dimming output power and perform a dimming operation according to the dimming command. As the dimming operation lasts briefly, the power consumed by the dimmer is extremely small. Accordingly, no heat dissipation issue arises and the present invention is applicable to all sorts of high power lighting devices.

Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes providing a substrate including a fin at a surface of the substrate, and forming a fin field-effect transistor (FinFET), which further includes forming a gate stack on the fin; forming a thin spacer on a sidewall of the gate stack; and epitaxially growing a epitaxy region starting from the fin. After the step of epitaxially growing the epitaxy region, a main spacer is formed on an outer edge of the thin spacer. After the step of forming the main spacer, a deep source/drain implantation is performed to form a deep source/drain region for the FinFET.
