Abstract: A package substrate and a method of fabrication thereof including stress buffer layers. Each stress buffer layer may be vertically spaced from and at least partially overlap with a corresponding bonding pad of the package substrate. The stress buffer pads may provide structural reinforcement to distribute tensile stress on the package substrate and inhibit warpage and crack formation in the package substrate. The stress buffer pads may additionally improve an insertion loss characteristic of the package substrate. Accordingly, semiconductor package performance, reliability and yields may be improved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for development interface and a data transmission method for development interface. The system includes a development board and a host computer. The development board is electrically connected to the host computer by a debug interface. The data format transmitted by host computer includes a header field, an address field and a data field. When performing mass data transfer, a specific command is set in the header field to lift the restriction for the length of the data field. When the development board receives the specific command, a serial data transmission mode is switched to receive all data of the data field.

Abstract: The invention provides a low phase surge protection device including a voltage converter, a low phase delay detector and an output control switch. The voltage converter receives an alternate current (AC) input voltage, and converts the AC input voltage into a direct current (DC) input voltage. The low phase delay detector receives the DC input voltage to be a power source, enables a phase detection scheme by detecting whether the AC input voltage is in a stable state, and generates an enable signal by detecting a phase of the AC input voltage after the phase detection scheme is enabled. The output control switch receives the AC input voltage, and determines whether to transmit the AC input voltage to be an output voltage according to the enable signal.

Abstract: A feminine care absorbent article (e.g., feminine care pad, sanitary napkin, incontinence article, pantiliner, etc.) that employs a color changing indicator graphic for signaling to the wearer an appropriate time to remove and/or replace the feminine care absorbent article following a liquid insult. This can be particularly useful in warm environments in which a wearer may secrete a significant amount of perspiration which may act as a carrier for microorganisms. In this manner, the wearer can wear the article without fear of a bacterial infection and/or the generation of an odor. After a time period of usage, the wearer can visually inspect the color of the color changing indicator graphic for an indication of whether it is time to remove and/or replace the feminine care absorbent article.

Abstract: A cushioning wheel member has an annular body, an axis and multiple cushioning spokes. The annular body has a through hole defined axially through the annular body. The axis is mounted axially and located centrally in the through hole of the annular body. The cushioning spokes are curved and resilient, are deformed to decentralize the axis with external force applied to the cushioning spokes and recover to centralize the axis with removal of the external force. Each cushioning spoke has two ends, and one end of the cushioning spoke is connected to an inner annular surface of the annular body and the other end is connected to the axis. The cushioning spokes are structurally simple and light and may be deformed when encountering external force or impact and therefore provide excellent press-engaging effect and cushioning effect when installed in an ink ribbon cassette and a light duty carrier.

Abstract: The invention provides an image processing method. An image is provided, and the image is divided into a first subimage, a second subimage, a third subimage, and a fourth subimage according to a decomposing method. Next, the first, second, third, and fourth subimages are processed to generate a first subframe, a second subframe, a third subframe, and a fourth subframe. Finally, the first, second, third, and fourth subframes are combined as a frame according to a composing method corresponding to the decomposing method.

Abstract: A drawing control method, a drawing control apparatus, and a drawing control system for embedded system are provided. The present invention adopts an independent drawing control apparatus to control a drawing unit to draw a frame, and move the drawn frame to an external frame buffer in advance, and therefore the number of lines that can be drawn is not restricted by the capacity of the memory of the drawing unit. Further, the present invention employs a counter to accumulate a counting number upon each time completion of drawing frame or moving frame. Whenever the counting number is accumulated, the drawing unit is controlled to perform a next stage of frame drawing or frame moving. In this concern, the present invention eliminates the time for external accessing, and thus achieving parallel processing, and instant displaying.

Abstract: A mobile-phone repairing system includes a server; a lost registration terminal for receiving a report based on a specific identification when a mobile phone is stolen or gets lost such that an IMEI of the lost mobile phone is transmitted to the server for storing thereat; a mobile-phone repairing terminal for reading an individual IEMI of a mobile phone being repaired and transmitting the individual IEMI to the server; and a comparison module disposed in the server for comparing the individual IEMI with respect to the IMEI sent by the lost registration terminal. The comparison module generates an alarm signal in case matching coincidence occurs between the individual IEMI and the IEMI.

Abstract: A customer service module used to handle a service for maintenance and repair of a wireless communication device requested by a customer is disclosed. The customer service module comprises a database storing at least a set of status information comprising a set of failure status information and a set of maintenance and repair status information and corresponding to an identification serial number of the wireless communication device. A failure information inputting interface at a service terminal is used to input the set of failure status information and a maintenance and repair status inputting interface at a maintenance and repair terminal is used to input the set of maintenance and repair status information. A status displaying interface is located at the service terminal and the maintenance and repair terminal respectively and used to display the set of failure status information or the set of maintenance and repair information according to the identification serial number.

Abstract: A dispatching method of manufacturing integrated circuit (IC) by push and pull two-way is to decide the dispatching orders of lots of wafers in each workstation. First, the priorities of lots of wafers is determined, and then the dispatching method of manufacturing IC by push and pull two-way is proceeded to run several push steps and pull steps. The push step is to dispatch wafers directly from upper process, no matter the lower units are crowded or delayed. On the other hand, the pull step is first to concern deficiencies in the lower unit, and then to dispatch wafers from the upper units. After proceeding the push steps and the pull steps, the other lots of wafers are dispatched by their original priorities. The dispatching method of manufacturing IC by push and pull two-way has the advantage of increasing the utilities of equipments.
