  • Patent number: 8972636
    Abstract: A memory interface chip is disclosed and includes a data output unit and a control module, wherein the data output module receives data from an external source. The data output unit can be selectively connected to different memory structures. The data output unit includes a first output channel and a second output channel, wherein the channels respectively generate a first output signal and a second output signal based on the data received. The control module selectively closes off the first output channel or the second output channel based on the memory architecture of the memory connected to the data output unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7742266
    Abstract: An ESD/EOS protection circuit includes a first protection circuit and a second protection circuit. The first protection circuit is coupled between an I/O pad and a power pad and includes a first P-type transistor. The P-type transistor includes a control node, a floating gate, a first connection node, and a second connection node, wherein the first connection node of the first P-type transistor is coupled to the power pad and the second connection node of the first P-type transistor is coupled to the I/O pad. The second protection circuit is coupled between the I/O pad and a ground pad.

  • Patent number: 5287221
    Abstract: A reflector includes a rotor disk rotatably mounted on a bike spoke having two semi-circular blades respectively formed on two surfaces of the rotor disk for driving a rotation of the rotor disk when subjected to a wind force when driving a bike, and having a retroreflective surface and a light-absorptive surface respectively formed on two opposite surfaces of the rotor disk for producing a flashing operation when rotating the disk, thereby providing a dynamic flashing reflector on a bike or the like for traffic warning or interesting purpose.

  • Patent number: 5196961
    Abstract: A road sign includes: a rotor disk rotatably mounted on a frame having a retroreflective sheet formed on a first surface of the rotor disk capable of reflecting any incident light projecting onto the retroreflective sheet for forming a bright surface of said disk, and a light-absorptive surface formed on a second surface of the rotor disk opposite to the first surface capable of absorbing incoming lights projecting onto the light-absorptive surface for forming a dark surface of the disk, whereby upon a blowing of wind on the rotor disk, the disk will be rotated to subsequently orient the first bright surface frontwardly and then orient the second dark surface frontwardly, thereby causing a flashing operation for serving as an effective road sign.
