  • Patent number: 11942420
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first gate structure extending along a first lateral direction. The semiconductor device includes a first interconnect structure, disposed above the first gate structure, that extends along a second lateral direction perpendicular to the first lateral direction. The first interconnect structure includes a first portion and a second portion electrically isolated from each other by a first dielectric structure. The semiconductor device includes a second interconnect structure, disposed between the first gate structure and the first interconnect structure, that electrically couples the first gate structure to the first portion of the first interconnect structure. The second interconnect structure includes a recessed portion that is substantially aligned with the first gate structure and the dielectric structure along a vertical direction.

  • Patent number: 8817456
    Abstract: A connection assembly comprises a bracket, a linkage element, a first elastic element, a trigger element, and a second elastic element. The first elastic element is connected with the bracket and the linkage element. One end of the trigger element is fixed on the bracket. The second elastic element is connected to the trigger element and the bracket. When the electronic apparatus is not connected to the dock, the linkage element is located at a first position of the trigger element, and the first elastic element stores a first elastic force. When the electronic apparatus is connected to the dock, the trigger element receives an external force so that the second elastic element stores a second elastic force, and the first elastic element releases the first elastic force to move the linkage element to a second position of the trigger element.

  • Publication number: 20130044427
    Abstract: A portable electronic apparatus includes a first housing, a second housing, and a fixing mechanism. The fixing mechanism is connected to the first housing. The second housing is fixed to the first housing by the fixing mechanism. The fixing mechanism has at least one contact portion which is exposed from the first housing. The fixing mechanism can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state when the contact portion is forced by an external force. When the fixing mechanism is in the locked state, the second housing is locked to the first housing by the fixing mechanism. When the fixing mechanism is in the unlocked state, the second housing is detachable from the first housing.

  • Publication number: 20070046644
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus having buttons without forming gaps therein comprises a housing having a first opening, an operation element, a supporting plate, a touch circuit board and at least one switch component. The operation element comprises a touch pad, a first fixing part and a button part. The touch pad and the button part form a flat surface. The operation element disposed in the first opening of the housing is fixed to the lower surface of the housing through the use of the first fixing part. In addition, the supporting plate used to support the button part is arranged underneath. The touch pad is covered by the touch circuit board so as to provide the control function and at least one switch component is arranged under the button part to enable the switch component being actuated when the button part is pressed downward.

  • Publication number: 20070013682
    Abstract: An electronic device with a rotary knob includes a casing, a rotary knob and a switch. Wherein, the casing has an opening, the rotary knob is pivoted on the casing and locates in the opening. In addition, the rotary knob includes a first interconnecting part used for engaging with a second interconnecting part on the switch. As the rotary knob is turned by an external force, the first interconnecting part of the rotary knob would drive the second interconnecting part to move, so that the second interconnecting part shifts from a first position to a second position, which results in switching the switch and activating corresponding function.
