Abstract: Method to form low-contact-resistance contacts to source/drain features are provided. A method of the present disclosure includes receiving a workpiece including an opening that exposes a surface of an n-type source/drain feature and a surface of a p-type source/drain feature, selectively depositing a first silicide layer on the surface of the p-type source/drain feature while the surface of the n-type source/drain feature is substantially free of the first silicide layer, depositing a metal layer on the first silicide layer and the surface of the n-type source/drain feature, and depositing a second silicide layer over the metal layer. The selectively depositing includes passivating the surface of the surface of the n-type source/drain features with a self-assembly layer, selectively depositing the first silicide layer on the surface of the p-type source/drain feature, and removing the self-assembly layer.

Abstract: A media processing device includes: a housing; a cover rotatable between open and closed positions; a main logic board (MLB) supporting a controller, and having a slot extending into the MLB from an open end at a perimeter of the MLB, the slot traversing the MLB from an upper surface to a lower surface; a receiver affixed to the MLB on a first side of the slot, and an emitter affixed to the MLB on a second side of the slot, to emit radiation detectable by the receiver; and a tab movably coupled to the housing, to obstruct the slot and prevent detection of the radiation by the receiver when the cover is in a first one of the open and closed positions, and to clear the slot and permit detection of the radiation by the receiver when the cover is in the other of the open and closed positions.

Abstract: A control method for the location and the orientation of a surgical robot end, and a control method for a surgical robot. The control method for the location and the orientation of a surgical robot end comprises establishing a remote center point, and dragging a surgical robot, causing an end to move above the remote center point, the remote center point being a virtual fixed point about which an end of a surgical instrument rotates when turning past a target location; connecting a surgical instrument to an instrument base of the surgical robot; controlling the surgical instrument to pass the remote center point; obtaining an expected Cartesian speed of an end of the surgical instrument, calculating a target speed for each axis of the surgical robot, and controlling movement of each axis of the surgical robot according to the target speeds.

The surgical robot comprises a first robot arm, a second robot arm connected to the end of the first robot arm and used for mounting and controlling the motion posture of a surgical instrument, and a controller that controls the motion of the axes of the first robot arm and the second robot arm, wherein the end of the first robot arm is provided with a linear guide portion for the second robot arm to move linearly; and the first robot arm is connected to the end of the linear guide portion that is close to the second robot arm and used for mounting an end of the surgical instrument.

Abstract: A master manipulator includes a first master manipulator module, a second master manipulator module, and a third master manipulator module which are perpendicular to each other, an output end of the third master manipulator module is connected to an input end of the second master manipulator module; an output end of the second master manipulator module is connected to an input end of the first master manipulator module; the first master manipulator module can be connected to a main controller. The minimally invasive surgery robot master manipulator is simple and compact in structure, and can realize a high-precision surgical operation; moreover, the master manipulator modules are located above a transverse third master arm, thereby reducing the size of each master manipulator in a vertical direction, and effectively avoiding interference between the master manipulator and other components in the vertical direction.

Abstract: An interface apparatus is capable of connecting with a plurality of external devices and an electronic device. The electronic device generates control signals and a selecting signal. The interface apparatus comprises a plurality of interface ports, an interface, a selection unit, and a switch. The interface ports connect with the external devices respectively. The interface controls the switch to establish a connection between the selection unit and the interface in response to the first control signal for transmitting the selecting signal to the selection unit. The selection unit selects the interface port corresponding to the selecting signal to connect with the switch. The interface further transmits information from the external device corresponding to the selected interface port to the electronic device through the switch and the interface in that order in response to the second control signal.

Abstract: An electronic device with two driving structures is capable of switching between a standby state and a working state. The electronic device includes a power supply, a processor and a driving circuit. The power supply is capable of outputting a first driving voltage or a second driving voltage. The processor detects whether the power supply outputs a first driving voltage and whether the electronic device receives a power-on instruction for powering on the electronic device. The processor outputs different controlling signals to control the driving circuit to output different voltages. The processor works in different states of different driving structures based on the received voltage outputted by the driving circuit.

Abstract: A bobble head doll shaker includes a base and housing and a supporting platform that is hingedly mounted to the housing. A motor drives an agitator that lifts and releases the supporting platform, thereby imparting an oscillating motion to a bobble head doll supported on the platform. The agitator includes engagement portions that lift the supporting platform. The motor has variable speed and agitator elements having different profiles that may be interchanged to achieve a greater variability of the oscillating motion. Moreover, with the hinge attachment, the bobble head doll's position and corresponding movement may be varied by changing its location on the supporting platform. A riser element may also be placed under the doll to increase the instability of the doll and provide for further varying the bobble head doll motion.
