Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for operating a memory device having multiple storage modes. In one example method, a portion of a memory array is selected, wherein the portion of the memory array is programmable in a first storage mode or a second storage mode. The second storage mode has a lower storage density than the first storage mode, and the first storage mode corresponds to a first erase operation. A switch erase operation is performed to switch the portion of the memory array from the first storage mode to a switched second storage mode, wherein the switched second storage mode has the same storage density as the second storage mode and corresponds to the switch erase operation. The switch erase operation is different from the first erase operation on the memory array in the first storage mode.

Abstract: Disclosed is a dual-loop circulation cooling system for an oven of a liquid crystal manufacture process, including a water pump, a water tank, a water drawing pipe, a water returning pipe, and a first cooling pipe and a second cooling pipe. The water pump, the water tank, the water drawing pipe, and the water returning pipe are arranged outside the oven. The first cooling pipe and the second cooling pipe are two juxtaposed cooling pipes that are arranged substantially parallel inside the oven. The water pump drives coolant contained in the water tank through the water drawing pipe into the first cooling pipe and the second cooling pipe inside the oven, whereby the coolant removes heat from the oven and then returns through the water returning pipe back into the water tank. The coolant flows in the first cooling pipe and the second cooling pipe in opposite directions.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a waste-material bucket, including a bucket body, a base, and a locker. The bucket body includes a supporting portion respectively having an arch-shaped surface located at a front side of the bucket body, and a gravity of the bucket body is deviated to the front side of the bucket body. The base forms a guiding track for supporting the supporting portion. The locker is located at a rear side of the bucket body for locking the bucket body. The locker is unlocked to incline the bucket body forward along the at least one guiding track due to the own gravity of the bucket, which dumps the waste material conveniently in the bucket body without using the forklift. Additionally, damage of the waste-material bucket and safety threaten to the operator can be avoided since the waste-material bucket is not turned over by the forklift.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cutting device for liquid crystal substrate and cutting monitoring method thereof. The monitoring method includes: using a plurality of cutters to cut a liquid crystal substrate into a plurality of liquid crystal panels; inspecting respective cutting precision data of different cutting edges of a same liquid crystal panel; summarizing cutting precision data of liquid crystal panels cut by a same cutter; and monitoring cutting characteristics of cutter according to average, maximum and/or minimum of the summarized cutting precision data. Through associating cutter and cutting precision data and summarizing the cutting precision data corresponding to a same cutter, the present invention can accurately monitor the cutting characteristics of cutter in real time and can identify the corresponding cutter when abnormal situation of cutting characteristics occurs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bottom-discharging scrap bin and a dumping method thereof. The bottom-discharging scrap bin includes a bin body that has an upper end opening and a lower opening that is rotatably coupled to the bottom board by a door shaft to allow the bottom board to selectively close the lower end opening of the bin body. The lower end opening is fixable to the bottom board by a locking device. Handles are provided on the bin body for receiving forks of a fork lift to insert therein to lift the bin body. When the bin is full of scraps, the locking device is locked and the bottom board closes the lower end opening. To dump the scraps, the locking device is unlocked and the bottom board is rotated with respect to the lower end opening to be opened.

Abstract: A transferring apparatus includes a main body, at least one suction cup, and a vacuum generating device. The main body is used for supporting a liquid crystal panel. The at least one suction cup is disposed in the main body and is adhered to the liquid crystal panel. The vacuum generating device is disposed in the main body and communicates with the at least one suction cup for generating negative-pressure gas when the at least one suction cup contacts the liquid crystal panel to allow the at least one suction cup to be adhered to the liquid crystal panel. With the vacuum generating device, the suction cup is capable of being adhered to the liquid crystal panel tightly, thus, the transferring apparatus can carry and transfer the liquid crystal panel stably after the liquid crystal panel contacts the suction cups, and further avoid damage to the liquid crystal panel.
