  • Patent number: 11943939
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a substrate and a circuit region over the substrate. The circuit region includes at least one active region extending along a first direction, at least one gate region extending across the at least one active region and along a second direction transverse to the first direction, and at least one first input/output (IO) pattern configured to electrically couple the circuit region to external circuitry outside the circuit region. The at least one first IO pattern extends along a third direction oblique to both the first direction and the second direction.

  • Publication number: 20240088562
    Abstract: An antenna structure includes a metal mechanism element, a feeding radiation element, a first radiation element, a second radiation element, a third radiation element, a fourth radiation element, a fifth radiation element, a sixth radiation element, and a tuning circuit. A slot is formed in the metal mechanism element. The first radiation element is coupled to the feeding radiation element. The tuning circuit is coupled to the first radiation element. The second radiation element is coupled to the feeding radiation element. The third radiation element is coupled to a first grounding point on the metal mechanism element. The fourth radiation element is coupled to a second grounding point on the metal mechanism element. The fifth radiation element is coupled to a third grounding point on the metal mechanism element.

  • Publication number: 20150149044
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a system and a method for controlling a rear vision assembly (RVA) of a vehicle, the system comprising a sender, receivers, an orientation device, a controller, and a motor. At least one said receiver disposed at the RVA may receive a reference signal from the sender to generate a relative positioning signal. The orientation device, disposed at the RVA, senses the orientation thereof in the three-dimensional space. Based on the relative positioning signal, the controller determines a relative position of the RVA and the sender and compares it with a default relative position, in addition to comparing the sensed orientation with a default orientation, thus generating a driving signal that directs the motor to restore the RVA to its default configuration when the determined relative position has deviated from the default for a predefined time and the sensed orientation deviates from the default.
