  • Patent number: 11937574
    Abstract: An interactive device for animals is provided that includes a main body, a driving module and a first rotating member. The main body includes an accommodating groove, an opening, and a communicating channel. The driving module is disposed on the main body. The first rotating member is rotatably disposed in the main body and separates the communicating channel and the accommodating groove. When the driving module drives the first rotating member to rotate in a first rotating direction, the first rotating member drives at least one object disposed in the accommodating groove to enter the communicating channel and leave the main body through the opening.

  • Publication number: 20240072155
    Abstract: A method includes forming a transistor, which includes forming a dummy gate stack over a semiconductor region, and forming an Inter-Layer Dielectric (ILD). The dummy gate stack is in the ILD, and the ILD covers a source/drain region in the semiconductor region. The method further includes removing the dummy gate stack to form a trench in the first ILD, forming a low-k gate spacer in the trench, forming a replacement gate dielectric extending into the trench, forming a metal layer to fill the trench, and performing a planarization to remove excess portions of the replacement gate dielectric and the metal layer to form a gate dielectric and a metal gate, respectively. A source region and a drain region are then formed on opposite sides of the metal gate.

  • Publication number: 20230112794
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an monoclonal antibody, which can bind to HyIL-6 with the binding constant 2.86×10?10 and significantly inhibit IL-6/IL-6R/gp130 complex formation. In addition, the monoclonal antibody of the present invention effectively inhibits HyIL-6-stimulated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3) activation and related vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induction. Data from hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) demonstrate that the antibody of the present invention mainly binds to site IIIa of IL-6 and blocks the final step in the interaction between gp130 and IL-6/IL-6R complex. Additionally, data from ELISA binding assays and kinetics assays indicate that the antibody of the present invention interacts simultaneously with IL-6 and IL-6R, while it does not interact with IL-6R alone.

  • Publication number: 20150301432
    Abstract: A camera device includes two independent housings and a connecting component. Each of the housing includes an encircled portion and an engaging portion. The encircled portion is disposed on an edge of the each housing, and an opening is formed on an encircled area of the encircled portion. The engaging portion is disposed on an outer surface of the encircled portion. The two encircled portions contact against each other to connect the two openings. The connecting component is movably disposed on the first encircled portion and the second encircled portion to assemble the first housing with the second housing. A second engaging portion of the connecting component is disposed on a side of the connecting component to engage with the first engaging portion. A second contacting portion of the connecting component is disposed on the other side of the connecting component to contact against the first contacting portion.

  • Patent number: 8576333
    Abstract: A photographic device includes a body, and at least an optical assembly and multiple auxiliary light sources surrounding the optical assembly are disposed in the body. A front cover is disposed on a front end of the body, and a protecting mirror is disposed on the front cover. Light emitted by the auxiliary light sources passes through the protecting mirror and illuminates a photographic area. A light-blocking film is disposed on the protecting mirror corresponding to the optical assembly, so as to prevent the light emitted by the auxiliary light sources from entering the optical assembly after reflected by the protecting mirror.
