Publication number: 20240088246Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards a control gate layout to improve an etch process window for word lines. In some embodiments, an integrated chip comprises a memory array, an erase gate, a word line, and a control gate. The memory array comprises a plurality of cells in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. The erase gate and the word line are elongated in parallel along a row of the memory array. The control gate is elongated along the row and is between and borders the erase gate and the word line. Further, the control gate has a pad region protruding towards the erase gate and the word line. Because the pad region protrudes towards the erase gate and the word line, a width of the pad region is spread between word-line and erase-gate sides of the control gate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Yu-Ling Hsu, Ping-Cheng Li, Hung-Ling Shih, Po-Wei Liu, Wen-Tuo Huang, Yong-Shiuan Tsair, Chia-Sheng Lin, Shih Kuang Yang

Patent number: 11901686Abstract: A junction box includes a box body and a conductive bar. A guide plate extends from a lead insertion opening, with a laterally extended connection portion at its extended end to connect the box body. First and second support plates and edges of the guiding plate form passages accessible to a lead insert space defined by the guiding plate, the connecting portion, the second support plate and the box body. The conductive bar has a bent conductive arm that moves into the inside of the lead insert space by an elastic force, therefore locked in said space, after it passes the passages.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Inventor: Hung Sheng Hsu

Publication number: 20230206446Abstract: An image processing apparatus for evaluating cardiac images and a ventricular status identification method are provided. In the method, a region of interest (ROI) is determined from multiple target images, a variation in grayscale values of multiple pixels in the ROIs of each target image is determined, and one or more representative images are obtained according to the variation in the grayscale values. The target image is related to the pixels within an endocardial contour of a left ventricle. A boundary of the ROI is approximately located at two sides of a bottom of the endocardial contour. The ROI corresponds to a mitral valve. The variation in the grayscale values is related to a motion of the mitral valve. The representative image is for evaluating a status of the left ventricle.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Applicant: Acer IncorporatedInventors: Hung-Sheng Hsu, Chien-Hung Li, Yi-Jin Huang
