Patent number: 8829887Abstract: A 3D-IC detector for each layer of a stacked device comprises a pulse generator to receive an initial signal and generate a pulse-in signal to a next stage detector. A latch is coupled to the pulse generator to receive an output signal from the pulse generator and generate a layer identifying signal. A counter is coupled to previous stage detector and the initial signal to perform a counting operation; and an adder coupled to the counter to add a number to a counting output from the counter and input added signal to the pulse generator.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: National Tsing Hua UniversityInventors: Ming-Pin Chen, Meng-Fan Chang, Wei-Cheng Wu

Patent number: 8089772Abstract: A mobile electronic device is provided. The mobile electronic device includes a case having a sidewall; a circuit board mounted in the case, and a side button module attached to the case sidewall. The circuit board includes a switch disposed thereon. The side button module includes a positioning member secured to the case sidewall and a button secured to the positioning member. The button includes a base and an actuating protrusion protruding from the base. The base abuts the positioning member. The actuating protrusion extends through the positioning member and is configured to trigger the switch on the circuit board when actuated. The positioning member is sandwiched between the base and the actuating protrusion.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2009Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ming-Pin Chen
