Abstract: A static random access memory (SRAM) has a plurality of SRAM cells, a first switch unit, a second switch unit, and a capacitor. During read/write operations of the SRAM cells, the first switch unit and the second switch unit are turned on so that two power terminals of the SRAM cells respectively electrically connect to VDD and VSS and that the capacitor electrically connects between VDD and VSS. When the SRAM cells are not accessed, the first switch unit and the second switch unit are turned off and the capacitor keeps a voltage gap between the two power terminals of the SRAM cells greater than a predetermined value.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating an interleaved stereo image includes a 3D graphics engine, an interleaved data merger and a register. The 3D graphics engine generates a shrunken left-eye image and a shrunken right-eye image of a stereo image based on video source data, the vertical sizes of the shrunken left-eye image and the shrunken right-eye image are shrunk compared with the vertical size of the video source data. The interleaved data merger stores the shrunken left-eye image and the shrunken right-eye image into two consecutive memory segments, and scans the memory segments while displaying the stereo image. A register controls a line number of a display region, so that the rows of the left-eye image shrunk and the right-eye image shrunk arrive at the display region in line-interleaved order. The invention also discloses a method for generating an interleaved stereo image.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a display, which includes an on-screen buffer, two overlay buffers and a stereo window controller. The on-screen buffer stores screen image data that includes image data of an overlay region. The two overlay buffers are of a double-buffered architecture, and one overlay buffer stores the left image data and the right image data of a current frame, and another overlay buffer stores the left image data and the right image data of a next frame. The stereo window controller controls swap operations and overlay operations, wherein the swap operations determine which one of the two overlay buffers stores the left image data and the right image data of the current frame, and the overlay operations alternatively output the left image data and the right image data of the current frame while the overlay region is being scanned.

Abstract: A hole-drilling device for a cigar is disclosed. The device comprises a rotating shaft having a screw threaded top portion and a holding section, a tubular cutter having a ring blade at the edge of the top portion and a bottom portion which is threaded, a shaft cover having a cutter opening at the top portion and a plurality of screw threads at the internal wall of the cover, and a screw nut which is screwed to the screw threaded top portion of the rotating shaft. The turning of the rotating shaft cause the ring blade to protrude via the cutter opening of the shaft cover to cut a hole on a cigar.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a method is provided for testing dynamic random access memory under wafer-level-burn-in that substantially can overcome the disadvantage of requiring at a manufacturing period and which even further increases with the increase of the memory capacity being expanded. In the embodiment, first of all, there are pluralities of word lines that are arranged in parallel. Generally word line driver means respectively driving the word lines and concludes word line test means for receiving a test signal, and further for producing an output signal. The layout of input bit-line to bit-line can be cross-arranged. Thus, the main feature of the present invention is mentioned that voltage for bit-line can be divided as even-numbered voltage and odd-numbered voltage for cross toggling. Especially, all of the tests can be carried out in the fabrication period of a semiconductor factory.

Abstract: A circuit is provided for use on a wafer formed with a plurality of dice on each of which a memory device, such as a DRAM (dynamic random access memory) device to perform a burn-in operation on the memory device so as to test the reliability thereof. By this circuit, a plurality of pads are formed in the scribe lines that are used as reference marks in the cutting apart of the dice. These pads are used to transfer an externally generated burn-in enable signal and a DC bias voltage to each memory device. Since the pads for burn-in wiring are formed in the scribe lines, they will not take additional space on the dice where each memory device is formed. The burn-in operation is more convenient, quick, and cost-effective to implement.
