  • Publication number: 20240130050
    Abstract: An embedded circuit board, made without gas bubbles or significant internal gaps according to a manufacturing method which is provided, includes an inner layer assembly, an embedded element, and first and second insulating elements. The inner layer assembly comprises a first main portion with opposing first and second surfaces and a first groove not extending to the second surface is positioned at the first surface. A first opening penetrates the second surface, and the first opening and the first groove are connected. The first groove carries electronic elements for embedment. The first insulating element covers the first surface and a surface of the embedded element away from the second surface. The second insulating element covers the second surface and extends into the first opening to be in contact with the embedded element.

  • Patent number: 11923041
    Abstract: A device includes a memory array, bit line pairs, word lines, a modulation circuit and a control signal generator. The memory array has bit cells arranged in rows and columns. Each bit line pair is connected to a respective column of bit cells. Each word line is connected to a respective row of bit cells. The modulation circuit is coupled with at least one bit line pair. The control signal generator is coupled with the modulation circuit. The control signal generator includes a tracking wiring with a tracking length positively correlated with a depth distance of the word lines. The control signal generator is configured to produce a control signal, switching to a first voltage level for a first time duration in reference with the tracking length, for controlling the modulation circuit. A method of controlling aforesaid device is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6883406
    Abstract: A shank retaining base for a screwdriver comprises a handle, a shank body, and a base mount wherein the handle has a receiving cavity disposed the center thereof for the base mount to be adapted therein, and the base mount has a polygonal sleeve hole and a round pivot hole disposed at both ends thereof for the shank body, a polygonal rod with tool heads of different sizes disposed at both ends thereof, to be sleeve joined therein. The base mount also includes a journal section with a roller bead embedded at the upper section and a flexible means covering the outer side thereof disposed at the middle section thereof. Via a circular guide facet and equidistant retaining ribs with oblique guide edges disposed at one side of the journal section thereof, the base mount is straightly guided and smoothly pushed with pressure to the receiving cavity therein, preventing the bottom side of the handle from getting cracked or broken up in assembly.

  • Publication number: 20050082189
    Abstract: A tool receiving box includes a toolbox for a tool with shanks of different sizes to be held therein. The toolbox is made up of a pivotally closed/opened movable lid attached to one side of a receiving box. The toolbox having a plurality of insertion grooves/holes of various sizes preset at large plane surfaces of the receiving box and the movable lid thereon respectively serves as an inserting seat for the shanks stored at the receiving box therein to be vertically located thereby and neatly displayed thereon in repairing work. Thus, the shank required can be easily selected and assembled onto a tool head for use without repeatedly opening/closing the movable lid of the toolbox, facilitating a fast and easy replacement of the shanks thereof, and refraining the toolbox from getting tarnished by oil or dirt in the replacement thereof. Besides, the movable lid is correspondingly closed onto the receiving box thereof, economically saving the space occupied by the toolbox in practical use.
