Patent number: 12680385Abstract: A torque-adaptive impact tool suitable for a PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact) bit is provided, which includes a PDC bit, a rotary-driving power device, and a torque-adaptive impact tool above the PDC bit. The torque-adaptive impact tool is located between the PDC bit and the rotary-driving power device, includes an outer housing, an upper end cover, a main shaft, an elastic element, an upper impact body, and a lower impact body. In a case of a normal operation of the bit, the tool does not impact the bit, but rotates along with the rotary-driving power device for drilling. In a case that a rock-breaking torque required by the bit exceeds a driving torque, the tool impact the bit.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2023Date of Patent: July 14, 2026Assignee: Southwest Petroleum UniversityInventors: Shiwei Niu, Yingxin Yang, Gao Li, Kuilin Huang, Chunliang Zhang, Haitao Ren, Lian Chen

Patent number: 12629761Abstract: An annular structure for an electronic flame off (EFO) wand of a wire bonder is positioned beneath a capillary of the wire bonder. The annular structure provides uniform heat to a bond wire extending from the capillary to form a free air ball (FAB). Because heat is uniformly applied to the bond wire, the FAB is uniformly formed and is centered with respect to the capillary. The FAB is then bonded to a bond pad of a substrate. Because the FAB was uniformly formed and is centered on the capillary, the FAB will also be centered on the bond pad.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2023Date of Patent: May 19, 2026Assignee: Sandisk Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jingyun Chen, Lian Chen, Guangqiang Li, Pengchen Ai, Yuanheng Zhang, Huijie Zhu, Wenbin Qu, Yonglong Liu, Xiaoting Guo, Guiyang Jiang

Patent number: 12635080Abstract: A wire bonder has a rotatable capillary for forming a stitch bond on a bonding surface of a connection point. When the stitch bond is formed, a bond head of the wire bonder causes the capillary to rotate in a XY plane. Rotation of the capillary causes at least a portion of the stitch bond to contact one or more side walls of the connection point. As a result, an entire surface area of the stitch bond contacts one or more surfaces of the connection point.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2024Date of Patent: May 19, 2026Assignee: Sandisk Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jingyun Chen, Fen Yu, Guangqiang Li, Pengchen Ai, Fuqiang Xiao, Shujun Zheng, Yuan Ming, Sizhe Yue, Lian Chen

Patent number: 12114435Abstract: A method of soldering one or more components to a substrate includes providing a substrate and applying an amount of solder material to the top planar surface of the substrate. One or more electrical components are mounted to the solder material in a predetermined position and orientation. A carrier is provided having one or more magnets embedded therein. The substrate is positioned above the carrier such that each of the one or more magnets is positioned directly below a corresponding electrical component. A carrier cover is positioned above the substrate and the electrical components. The solder material is heated to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined amount of time during which each of the magnets exerts a magnetic force on a corresponding electrical component to maintain its orientation relative to the substrate. The magnets reduce the occurrence of tombstoning of the electrical components during heating of the solder material.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2022Date of Patent: October 8, 2024Assignee: SANDISK TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Virgil Zhu, Vincent Jiang, Paul Qu, Shixing Zhu, Yuanheng Zhang, Enoch He, Yonglong Liu, Lian Chen, Guangqiang Li, Jingyun Chen

Patent number: 12055591Abstract: In a battery management controller, analog-to-digital conversion circuitry converts analog signals, indicative of a battery voltage, a battery current, and a battery temperature, to digital signals. A memory stores a remaining-capacity lookup table that includes multiple groups of data. Each group of data includes a voltage, a current, a temperature, and a parameter associated with a remaining capacity corresponding to the voltage, the current and the temperature. A processor searches the lookup table for a current parameter value and an end-of-discharge parameter value based on the digital signals, and determines a full available charge capacity of the battery based on the current parameter value and the end-of-discharge parameter value. The processor also counts the number of charges flowing through the battery based on a battery current. The processor further determines an available state of charge of the battery according to the full available charge capacity and the number of charges.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2021Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: O2Micro Inc.Inventors: Chih-Chung Chou, Guoxing Li, Hua-Yi Wang, Fu-Jen Hsieh, Lian Chen

Patent number: 11917542Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for adjusting a time period to delay entering a power save mode (leak guard) for wireless communications. In one aspect, a wireless communication device may adjust a time period to delay entering a power save mode. The time period is associated with the wireless communication device remaining awake to prevent an access point from transmitting to the wireless communication device while the wireless communication device is in the power save mode. The wireless communication device also may provide, to the AP, an indication that the wireless communication device is entering a power save mode, and the wireless communication device may enter the power save mode. Entering the power save mode is at least the adjusted time period after providing the indication to the AP.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sandip Homchaudhuri, Steve Saed, Srikant Kuppa, Guido Robert Frederiks, Lian Chen, Deepak Shahaji Nagawade, Vishwanath Tantry
