  • Patent number: 12239242
    Abstract: A foldable bassinet includes an upper bassinet frame, a pair of leg structures opposite to each other, and a bottom board. Each leg structure has an upper tower portion and a lower ledge portion. The upper bassinet frame is disposed through the upper tower portion of each leg structure to make each leg structure pivotable relative to the upper bassinet frame between a supporting position and a folding position. The bottom board is detachably configured between the two lower ledge portions and defines a containing space cooperatively with the upper bassinet frame and the leg structures. When the bottom board is detached from the two lower ledge portions, the leg structures are rotatable from the supporting position to the folding position to be folded inwardly relative to the upper bassinet frame.

  • Patent number: 10348687
    Abstract: A service provider device includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The controller is configured to receive a device access request from the client device via a residential network, the server provider device being located external to the residential network and detect a communication type identifier associated with the device access request. The controller is configured to establish a secure communication channel between the client device and a middlebox associated with the detected communication type identifier and provide communication between the client device and the server device via the secure communication channel between the client device.

  • Publication number: 20110198569
    Abstract: A method for patterning nanostructures in a semiconductor heterostructure, which has at least a first layer and a second layer, wherein the first layer has a first surface and an opposite, second surface, the second layer has a first surface and an opposite, second surface, and the first layer is deposited over the second layer such that the second surface of the first layer is proximate to the first surface of the second layer. The method includes the steps of making indentations in a pattern on the first surface of the first layer of the semiconductor heterostructure; bonding the semiconductor heterostructure to a support substrate such that the first surface of the first layer of the semiconductor heterostructure is faced to the support substrate; etching off the second layer of the semiconductor heterostructure; and depositing a third layer over the second surface of the first layer of the semiconductor heterostructure.
