  • Publication number: 20240088291
    Abstract: A transistor includes an insulating layer, a source region, a drain region, a channel layer, a ferroelectric layer, and a gate electrode. The source region and the drain region are respectively disposed on and in physical contact with two opposite sidewalls of the insulating layer. A thickness of the source region, a thickness of the drain region, and a thickness of the insulating layer are substantially the same. The channel layer is disposed on the insulating layer, the source region, and the drain region. The ferroelectric layer is disposed over the channel layer. The gate electrode is disposed on the ferroelectric layer.

  • Patent number: 8659886
    Abstract: A portable computer apparatus includes a display module, a host module, at least one shaft mechanism, and an antenna. The display module has a first pivot side and includes first and second upper-cover members and a display device contained in the first and second upper-cover members. The host module has a second pivot side and includes first and second lower-cover members and a host device contained in the first and second lower-cover members. The host device is electrically connected to the display device and the antenna. The shaft mechanism is pivotally connected to at least one of the first and second upper-cover members corresponding to the first pivot side and at least one of the first and second lower-cover members corresponding to the second pivot side. The antenna is integrally formed with the shaft mechanism or on one of the first and second pivot sides.

  • Patent number: 8060141
    Abstract: In a method for permitting change of an electronic card without powering off and a communications device employing the method, the communications device includes a control module, a card connector for receiving the electronic card, and a trigger module. The method includes: when the communications device is in an on state, triggering the trigger module to generate a trigger signal to the control module; enabling the control module to determine a card insertion mode if it is detected that a state of electrical connection of the card connector with an electronic card changes from a disconnected state to a connected state after receipt of the trigger signal; and enabling the control module for supplying power to the electronic card inserted into the card connector upon determining the card insertion mode.

  • Publication number: 20100207838
    Abstract: A structure of an antenna is disclosed. The antenna comprises a flexible antenna, a first foam material, a second foam material, a cover plate and a housing. The first foam material and the second foam material together enwrap the flexible antenna. The cover plate and the first foam material match correspondingly. The housing matches with the second foam material, and the housing is joined with the cover plate. The strength of the cover plate and the housing are enhanced respectively by the first and the second foam material to prevent bending and distortion.
