  • Patent number: 11929314
    Abstract: In some implementations, one or more semiconductor processing tools may form a metal cap on a metal gate. The one or more semiconductor processing tools may form one or more dielectric layers on the metal cap. The one or more semiconductor processing tools may form a recess to the metal cap within the one or more dielectric layers. The one or more semiconductor processing tools may perform a bottom-up deposition of metal material on the metal cap to form a metal plug within the recess and directly on the metal cap.

  • Publication number: 20130243204
    Abstract: A sound quality testing method and system test sound quality of a network-based communication device. The method includes connecting the network-based communication device to a test host through the Internet; sending a testing signal from the test host to the sound receiving unit for generating an audio packet signal; sending the audio packet signal from the sound receiving unit to the test host through the Internet to produce a first test result; sending a test packet signal from the test host to the network-based communication device through the Internet to enable the network-based communication device to generate a speaker signal; receiving and analyzing the speaker signal by the test host to produce a second test result; and evaluating sound quality of the network-based communication device by the test host based on the first test result and the second test result.

  • Publication number: 20130236024
    Abstract: A sound quality testing device for testing a communication apparatus has a sound generating unit and a sound receiving unit. The sound quality testing device includes a carrying unit, a first testing module, and a second testing module. The carrying unit carries the communication apparatus. The first testing module generates and sends a sound signal to the sound receiving unit. The second testing module receives a sound-generating signal generated by the sound generating unit. The sound quality testing device provides a standardized simulation testing environment having low or no noise signals, such that the communication apparatus can be tested precisely and steadily in terms of sound quality, such as volume, frequency responses, and harmonic wave distortion.

  • Publication number: 20030078036
    Abstract: A method for automatically installing software by the wireless identification is proposed for a master device and a remote wireless device. The remote wireless device is stored with at least one wireless communication protocol, driver, and application program. The remote wireless device seriatim checks for one available wireless communication protocol for the master device and the remote wireless device, and then the master device sends internal system resource and environment parameters of itself to the remote wireless device for setting control commands and parameters acceptable for the master device and the remote wireless device both. The remote wireless device sends the driver or the application program to the master device for being installed in the master device.

  • Publication number: 20030045236
    Abstract: The present invention provides a wireless peripheral with inbuilt drivers of a host computer. The host computer has a wireless transmission module capable of transmitting control information to control the peripheral. The wireless peripheral comprises a wireless transmission module, a central processing unit, a database, and a renewal unit. The wireless transmission module can communicate with the wireless transmission module of the computer. The central processing unit is a control center of the whole peripheral. The database stores one or more driver. The renewal unit can store or record new drivers in the database via the host computer. The drivers will always accompany the peripheral. A host computer is not necessary to install drivers from floppy disks or CDs in order to use peripherals, and the trouble of missing the drivers will not arise; hence operations of peripheral achieve the object of “Plug-and-Play” or “Turn-on-and-Play”.

  • Publication number: 20030046033
    Abstract: The present invention proposes an electronic detection method having system-identifying function and a device thereof. The device comprises a data record device comprising a data storage unit, an equipment-end data transmission unit, a central processing unit, and a data conversion unit and a remote-end detection device comprising a detection-end data transmission unit, a data register unit, a central processing unit, and a data display unit. A data connection line, infrared transmission modules, or wireless transmission modules can be used as transmission media between the data record device and the remote-end detection device. The method comprises the steps of: storing basic data of an electrical equipment into the data record device, using the equipment-end data transmission unit to transmit the basic data to the detection-end data transmission unit, using the data display unit to display the basic data, or transmitting the basic data to a computer for subsequent processing.
