Patent number: 7694361Abstract: A playpen includes a top frame including four corner connectors, and four foldable articulations mounted between the corner connectors respectively. Each of the foldable articulations includes a mounting seat disposed between any two of the corner connectors, two main rods each having a first end pivotally connected with the mounting seat and a second end pivotally connected with the respective corner connector, and two auxiliary rods each having a first end pivotally connected with the mounting seat and a second end pivotally connected with the respective corner connector. Thus, each of the main rods, the respective auxiliary rods, the mounting seat of each of the foldable articulations and the respective corner connector form a substantially parallelogram or trapezium linkage to reinforce the structural strength of the top frame.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2009Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Inventor: Owen Chen

Publication number: 20090320205Abstract: A foldable bottom frame for a playpen includes a support bracket, a pivot connection unit including two opposite pivot bases pivotally mounted on two opposite ends of the support bracket respectively and two connecting rods each mounted on a respective one of the pivot bases, and a control unit including a locking member rotatably mounted on the support bracket and rotatable to abut the pivot bases to releasably lock the two pivot bases of the pivot connection unit onto the support bracket. Thus, the user only needs to rotate and pull the control handle upward so as to unlock and fold the bottom bracket, so that the bottom bracket is unlocked and folded easily and rapidly, thereby facilitating the user unlocking and folding the bottom bracket.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2008Publication date: December 31, 2009Inventor: Owen Chen

Patent number: 7552487Abstract: A bottom bracket of a playpen includes a support seat, and a rotation seat. The support seat includes two covers, a slide, a locking rod, a drive rod, an elastic member, a pull handle, and a pull strap. The rotation seat includes two pivot members and a limit plate. Thus, the user only needs to pull the pull strap upward so to fold the bottom bracket, so that the bottom bracket is folded easily and rapidly, thereby facilitating the user folding the bottom bracket. In addition, each of the two pivot members is locked by the locking rod exactly when the bottom bracket is expanded, thereby preventing the pivot members from being pivoted unintentionally, so that the bottom bracket is positioned rigidly and stably without detachment.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2005Date of Patent: June 30, 2009Inventor: Owen Chen

Patent number: 7459386Abstract: A method for forming solder bumps (or solder balls after reflow) of improved height and reliability is provided. In one embodiment, a semiconductor substrate having at least one contact pad and an upper passivation layer having at least one opening formed therein exposing a portion of the contact pad is provided. A layer of under bump metal (UBM) is formed above the passivation layer and the contact pad. A first patterned and etched photoresist layer is provided above the UBM layer, the first patterned and etched photoresist layer defining at least one first opening therein. A second patterned and etched photoresist layer is provided above the first patterned and etched photoresist layer, the second patterned and etched photoresist layer defining at least one second opening therein, the second opening being wider than the first opening. A solder material is filled in the at least one first opening and substantially filled in the at least one second opening.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2004Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Li-Hsin Tseng, Gil Huang, Huei-Mei Yu, Chia-Jen Cheng, Ken Sun, Chien-Tung Yu, Blenny Chang, Chih Yang Chan, Jian-Wen Luo, Owen Chen

Publication number: 20080235867Abstract: A sliding device for a playpen includes a support unit, a clamping unit juxtaposed to the support unit, a guide unit mounted on the support unit and the clamping unit, and a lifting unit movably mounted on the guide unit. The lifting unit is mounted on a support bar to move the support bar. Thus, the support bar can be moved downward so that a user's hands can extend into the playpen easily and conveniently to facilitate the user holding and taking care of the baby. In addition, the support bar is movable to a height equal to that of the user's bed so that the user can take care of the baby easily and conveniently.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2007Publication date: October 2, 2008Inventor: Owen Chen

Patent number: 7380311Abstract: A foldable articulation for a playpen includes a mounting seat, two pivot rods pivotally mounted on two opposite ends of the mounting seat, and a folding device mounted on the mounting seat and releasably rested on each of the two pivot rods. Thus, the articulation is operated to fold the playpen when not in use, thereby saving the space of storage. In addition, a user only needs to press the press member of the folding device to fold the articulation, so that the user's one hand will not be inserted into the inside of the mounting seat, thereby preventing the user's one hand from being clamped so as to protect the user's safety.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2005Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Inventor: Owen Chen

Patent number: 7378724Abstract: A method for providing a cavity structure on a semiconductor device is provided. The method of forming the cavity structure, which may be particularly useful in packaging an image sensor, includes forming a spacer layer over a substrate. The spacer layer may be formed from a photo-sensitive material which may be patterned using photolithography techniques to form cavity walls surrounding dies on the wafer. A packaging layer, such as a substantially transparent layer, may be placed directly upon the cavity walls prior to curing. In another embodiment, the cavity walls are cured, an adhesive is applied to a surface of the cavity walls, and the packaging layer placed upon the adhesive. Thereafter, the wafer may be diced and the individual dies may be packaged for use.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2005Date of Patent: May 27, 2008Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Hsiu-Mei Yu, Gil Huang, Chien-Tung Yu, Owen Chen
