Abstract: A method for processing an integrated circuit includes forming first and second gate all around transistors. The method forms a dipole oxide in the first gate all around transistor without forming the dipole oxide in the second gate all around transistor. This is accomplished by entirely removing an interfacial dielectric layer and a dipole-inducing layer from semiconductor nanosheets of the second gate all around transistor before redepositing the interfacial dielectric layer on the semiconductor nanosheets of the second gate all around transistor.

Abstract: A hinge assembly attaches a cover pivotally to a base of an electronic device and has a stationary leaf, a bushing and a pivoting leaf The stationary leaf is attached to the base and has a barrel and two slots.

Abstract: A pivotal-axis changing hinge has a stationary leaf, a pivoting leaf, a pintle assembly and a cam. The pivoting leaf and stationary leaf are respectively connected securely to a cover having a rear edge and a keyway and a base having an elongated gudgeon. A parabolic edge is formed at an edge near the elongated gudgeon. The pintle assembly is mounted through the keyway and pivotally through the elongated gudgeon to allow the leaves to pivot along a pivotal axis of the pintle assembly. The cam is mounted on the pintle assembly, rotates simultaneously with the pintle assembly and has a protrusion mounted slidably on the parabolic edge to move the pintle assembly and the cover perpendicularly away from the base when the cover is pivoting. Consequently, the proximal edge of the cover is kept from colliding with the base and the rotating angle of the cover is expanded.

Abstract: A transversely movable hinge has a central bracket and two tilt hinge assemblies and is mounted between a cover and a base of an electronic device to allow the cover to pivot and rotate relative to the base. Each tilt hinge assembly has a pivoting leaf with a mounting segment, a torque washer and a biasing assembly. The torque washer is rotated relative to the mounting segment and has at least one protrusion. The biasing assembly presses the torque washer so the protrusion rubs against the mounting segment to provide a larger force to hold the cover at any visual angle. Then even if the resilient force of the biasing assembly is reduced to allow the cover to be easily moved transversely relative to the base, the hinge can still provide enough holding force.

Abstract: A hinge mounted in an electrical appliance having a panel and a base has a rotating bracket, two shaft assemblies, a stationary bracket, a spacer assembly and a flat contact surface. The shaft assemblies are mounted rotatably in the rotating bracket and are attached to the panel. The stationary bracket is mounted rotatably around the rotating bracket and is attached to the base. The spacer assembly is mounted around the rotating bracket and securely on the stationary bracket. The flat contact surface is formed between the rotating bracket and the spacer assembly to provide a flat contact when the rotating bracket rotates relative to the spacer assembly. Therefore, the panel will not shake when the panel is rotated right or left relative to the base.

The central bracket has a main arm, a first arm and a second arm. An outer surface of the first arm has multiple positioning detents formed in the outer surface. The first and second tilt hinge assemblies respectively connect to the first and second arms. The first tilt hinge assembly has a resilient stationary positioning spacer mounted adjacent to the outer surface and corresponding positioning protrusion. With the resilient stationary positioning spacer, the single spacer replaces a positioning spacer and a resilient spacer. Therefore, the components of the hinge are simplified and then the manufacturing cost and the assembling complexity are decreased.

Therefore, the components of the hinge are simplified and then the manufacturing cost and the assembling complexity are decreased.

Abstract: A hinge with less abrasion has a central bracket, a first tilt hinge assembly, a second tilt hinge assembly and a rotating hinge assembly. The central bracket has a main arm, a first arm and a second arm. The main arm has annular recess formed on an inner surface of the main arm. The first arm has annular recess respectively formed on an inner surface and an outer surface of the first arm. The first and second tilt hinge assemblies connect respectively to the first and second arms. The rotating hinge assembly connects to the main arm. Because strength of a material is enhanced when the material is pressed, the annular recesses of the main and first arms enhance the strength of the main and first arms to reduce the abrasion between the central bracket and the hinge assemblies.

Abstract: A hinge assembly attaches a cover pivotally to a base of an electronic device and has a pivoting leaf and a stationary leaf. The pivoting leaf is mounted in the cover and has a shaft. The stationary leaf is mounted rotatably around the pivoting leaf, is mounted in the base to allow the cover to pivot relative to the base and has a barrel. The barrel is tightly mounted rotatably around the shaft and has a gudgeon and a slit. The gudgeon is formed coaxially through the barrel. The slit is formed longitudinally through the barrel and communicates with the gudgeon and allows the barrel to expand to fit the shaft. Having the barrel with the slit reduces the size of the hinge assembly so the hinge assembly allows electronic devices to be smaller and thinner.

The pivot shaft is mounted securely with the rotatable bracket, is mounted rotatably with the pivot bracket and has an enlarged end selectively abutting the limit to make a rotation of the rotatable bracket depend on the angle.
