  • Publication number: 20250131959
    Abstract: A memory circuit includes a substrate with a front side and a back side opposite the front side. An interconnect structure is situated on or over the substrate and has first and second metal layers and a via electrically connecting the first and second metal layers. A word line driver circuit is configured to output a word line enable signal to a word line of a memory array. The word line driver circuit has an inverter circuit configured to receive a word line signal, and an enable transistor electrically connected to an output of the inverter circuit by a metal line that includes the first metal layer, the second metal layer, and the via.

  • Patent number: 9258872
    Abstract: A streetlamp fault detection apparatus and a streetlamp fault detection method thereof are provided. The streetlamp fault detection apparatus is coupled to a streetlamp loop, and stores an impedance condition table defining a reference impedance range and a non-reference impedance range. The streetlamp fault detection apparatus measures a total impedance value of the streetlamp loop in a measurement period, determines that the streetlamp loop is in a normal operating state if the total impedance value stably falls within the reference impedance range in the measurement period, and determines that the streetlamp loop is in a fault state if the total impedance value falls into the non-reference impedance range in the measurement period.

  • Patent number: 9124137
    Abstract: An energy management method is provided. The energy management method comprises the steps of retrieving load information from at least one load and retrieving energy-supplying information from an energy supply system having a grid power source, a renewable energy generation module and an energy storage module to instantly calculate first and second energy thresholds. When an energy production of the renewable energy generation module is smaller than the second energy threshold, the grid power source or the energy storage module is controlled to supply energy to the load. When the energy production is between the first and the second energy thresholds, the renewable energy generation module is controlled to supply energy to the load. When the energy production is larger than the first energy threshold, the renewable energy generation module is controlled to supply energy to the load and charge the energy storage module.
