  • Patent number: 12132042
    Abstract: The ability of a grounded gate NMOS (ggNMOS) device to withstand and protect against human body model (HBM) electrostatic discharge (ESD) events is greatly increased by resistance balancing straps. The resistance balancing straps are areas of high resistance formed in the substrate between an active area that includes a MOSFET of the ggNMOS device and a bulk ring that surrounds the active area. A Vss rail is coupled to the substrate beneath the MOSFET through the bulk ring. The substrate beneath the MOSFET provides base regions for parasitic transistors that switch on for the ggNMOS device to operate. The straps inhibit low resistance pathways between the base regions and the bulk ring and prevent a large portion of the ggNMOS device from being switched off while a remaining portion of the ggNMOS device remains switched on. The strap may be divided into segments inserted at strategic locations.

  • Publication number: 20240353241
    Abstract: A platform through-beam sensor device includes a transmitter module and a receiver module. A light emitted by a light-emitting element of the transmitter module is shaped into a light pattern range by a transmitter mask. A range of the light received by a light-receiving element of the receiver module is changed to a receiving range by a receiver mask. When the present invention is used, the transmitter module and the receiver module are respectively installed on two ends of a mechanical apparatus that move relative to each other. After determining a safety range of the relative movement of the two ends, a state that the light-receiving element falls into the light pattern range and the light-emitting element falls into the receiving range is set to be within the safety range. Upon exceeding the safety range, a flying platform is controlled to stop, thereby improving the safety of the flying platform.
