  • Publication number: 20240145470
    Abstract: A method for processing an integrated circuit includes forming first and second gate all around transistors. The method forms a dipole oxide in the first gate all around transistor without forming the dipole oxide in the second gate all around transistor. This is accomplished by entirely removing an interfacial dielectric layer and a dipole-inducing layer from semiconductor nanosheets of the second gate all around transistor before redepositing the interfacial dielectric layer on the semiconductor nanosheets of the second gate all around transistor.

  • Patent number: 11523094
    Abstract: A display system for displaying a panoramic image and an operation method thereof are provided. The display system for displaying a panoramic image includes N projectors and a controller. The N projectors project N sub-images according to N image data and form a panoramic image. Each sub-image has a sub-image overlapping area, so that two adjacent sub-images of the N sub-images partially overlap, and that a first sub-image and an Nth sub-image of the N sub-images partially overlap. The controller copies a first edge image corresponding to a first edge of an original image and connects the first edge image to a second edge of the original image that is opposite to the first edge, so as to generate an extended image corresponding to the sub-image overlapping area. The controller slices an adjusted image containing the original image and the extended image to generate the N image data.

  • Patent number: 9471124
    Abstract: A portable energy management device, disposed between a power outlet and an appliance load when being used, includes a transmission module, a micro processing unit, a schedule module, and a power control circuit. The transmission module communicates with a remote control device by receiving or sending a wireless signal or a cable signal, through which schedule commands are transmitted. The micro processing unit performs analysis and identification of the appliance load, and information related to the appliance load is sent to the remote control device through the transmission module. The schedule module executed by the micro-processing unit stores and runs the schedule commands. The power control circuit is controlled by schedule commands to determine whether power should be supplied.
