Abstract: A foldable electronic device, including a first body, a second body, an air valve movably disposed in the first body, at least one triggering member, and a hinge connecting the first body and the second body, is provided. The first body has multiple openings respectively located at two opposite surfaces. The triggering member is movably disposed in the first body and has a part exposed outside the first body. The air valve and the triggering member are mutually on moving paths of each other. The first body and the second body are rotated to be folded or unfolded relative to each other by the hinge. A part of the triggering member is suitable for bearing a force such that the triggering member drives the air valve, so that the air valve opens or closes the openings.

Abstract: A light guide module is provided, which includes a circuit board, one or more light-emitting elements, a light guide plate, a first reflective layer and a second reflective layer. The one or more light-emitting elements are disposed on the circuit board. The light guide plate is located on the circuit board, in which the light guide plate has a thick portion and a thin portion connected to the thick portion, and the thin portion is located over the one or more light-emitting elements, and a side surface of the thick portion adjacent to the thin portion is laterally adjacent to the one or more light-emitting elements. The first reflective layer covers a side surface of the thick portion away from the thin portion. The second reflective layer covers an upper surface of the thick portion and an upper surface of the thin portion.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes an apparatus with a local interconnect structure. The apparatus can include a first transistor, a second transistor, a first interconnect structure, a second interconnect structure, and a third interconnect structure. The local interconnect structure can be coupled to gate terminals of the first and second transistors and routed at a same interconnect level as reference metal lines coupled to ground and a power supply voltage. The first interconnect structure can be coupled to a source/drain terminal of the first transistor and routed above the local interconnect structure. The second interconnect structure can be coupled to a source/drain terminal of the second transistor and routed above the local interconnect structure. The third interconnect structure can be routed above the local interconnect structure and at a same interconnect level as the first and second interconnect structures.

Abstract: Described are techniques for an access management protocol including a method comprising associating a granted permission set and a constrained permission set to a user profile in an access management system. Respective granted permissions in the granted permission set authorize the user profile to perform the respective granted permissions, and respective constrained permissions in the constrained permission set preclude the user profile from performing the respective constrained permissions. The method further comprises receiving a permission-based request at the access management system and from the user profile and determining that the permission-based request is associated with a permission that is included in both the granted permission set and the constrained permission set. The method further comprises rejecting the permission-based request.

Abstract: A gas breaker includes a case with a chamber defined therein. The case includes an inlet path and an outlet path which is located corresponding to the inlet path. A board is pivotably located in the chamber and has a sealing member on the first end thereof for sealing the outlet path, and an extension extending from the second end of the board. The extension is engaged with a hook on a hook plate pivotably located in the chamber. When earthquake happens, the hook plate swings due to the earthquake so as to separate the hook and the extension. The sealing member on the first end of the board seals the outlet path to cut off the gas so that the gas cannot enter the gas line of the house.

Abstract: A socket structure stack and a socket structure thereof are provided. The socket structure stack includes at least two socket structures, and each socket structure includes a main body, a plurality of conductive elements, and a plurality of connecting elements. The main body includes an inner plate and an outer plate, wherein the inner plate has a receiving portion and an embedded portion. The conductive elements are embedded in the embedded portion, and the connecting elements are mounted on the outer plate so as to connect adjacent socket structures together. The socket structures are so configured that ICs, processors, and printed circuit boards connected to the socket structures or the socket structures themselves can be recycled. Moreover, the printed circuit boards can be easily assembled to the socket structures, and the socket structures can be stacked up and securely connected to form a 3D structure which is otherwise difficult to put together by soldering.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a virtualized peripheral hardware platform system. The virtualized peripheral hardware platform system includes a first hardware platform and a software platform, which is executed in a second hardware platform. The first hardware platform is in signal communication with the second hardware platform. The software platform not only simulates the operation of the peripheral device of the first hardware platform but also simulates input signals of virtual peripheral devices and then transmits the input signals to the first hardware platform to conduct further calculations. Furthermore, the input/output (I/O) interface of the second hardware platform can be simulated as the I/O interface of the first hardware platform, so as to decrease the number of the I/O interface which the first hardware platform needed and downsize the first hardware platform.
