Abstract: The present disclosure provides a semiconductor device and a method of forming the same. The semiconductor device includes a first channel members being vertically stacked, a second channel members being vertically stacked, an n-type work function layer wrapping around each of the first channel members, a first p-type work function layer over the n-type work function layer and wrapping around each of the first channel members, a second p-type work function layer wrapping around each of the second channel members, a third p-type work function layer over the second p-type work function layer and wrapping around each of the second channel members, and a gate cap layer over a top surface of the first p-type work function layer and a top surface of the third p-type work function layer such that the gate cap layer electrically couples the first p-type work function layer and the third p-type work function layer.

Abstract: A transistor includes a gate structure that has a first gate dielectric layer and a second gate dielectric layer. The first gate dielectric layer is disposed over the substrate. The first gate dielectric layer contains a first type of dielectric material that has a first dielectric constant. The second gate dielectric layer is disposed over the first gate dielectric layer. The second gate dielectric layer contains a second type of dielectric material that has a second dielectric constant. The second dielectric constant is greater than the first dielectric constant. The first dielectric constant and the second dielectric constant are each greater than a dielectric constant of silicon oxide.

Abstract: A safety protective needle cover for butterfly needle assembly is disclosed. After the covering member is pivoted toward the base, the base may be covered by an accommodating space defined by the backs of the two pivoting walls and the concave cover such that the covering member and the base are parallel with each other. The needle will not be shifted due to the shake of the patient or being hooked by dress. After the covering member is pivoted toward the vertical portion of the L-shaped needle, the vertical portion of the L-shaped needle may be covered by the concave cover to prevent nursing staff or users from being stuck.

Abstract: By disabling at least one data transmission port of a media access device when the media access device is connected to a storage medium under an encrypted state and when the media access device is capable of performing decryption corresponding to an encryption mechanism applied on the storage medium, data security of the storage medium can be secured.

Abstract: A syringe includes a needle, a barrel and a push rod inserted in the barrel. The needle includes a needle seat, a stop ring fitted on an outer wall of the needle seat, and a check groove formed on the inner wall of the needle seat. The check groove is adapted to engage with a check rib on a core post of the push rod. A resilient plug is provided in the barrel. The resilient plug has a central through hole for insertion of the core post of a push head of the push rod. The push rod has a frangible point at a front end thereof. When the push rod is pulled backward, the needle is received in the barrel completely and the rear section of the push rod can be broken.

Abstract: An improved structure safety syringe comprised of a barrel having two trapezoidal-shaped tabs, a sleeve with a guide slot and, furthermore, limit slots extending from the circumferential surface at the two ends of the guide slot and an insertion section is formed at the inside end of the limit slot, wherein utilizing the engagement of the tabs and the insertion section enables the positioning of the barrel and the sleeve, and a plunger having a protective cap at the force application end that can be broken off at an appropriate time. When the protective cap is broken off and, furthermore, inserted into the other end of the sleeve, the objective of positioning is achieved and, furthermore, ensures that the hypodermic needle is not exposed.
