Abstract: An improved scribe etch process for semiconductor laser chip manufacturing is provided. A method to etch a scribe line on a semiconductor wafer generally includes: applying a mask layer to a surface of the wafer; photolithographically opening a window in the mask layer along the scribe line; etching a trench in the wafer using a chemical etchant that operates on the wafer through the window opening, wherein the chemical etchant selectively etches through crystal planes of the wafer to generate a V-groove profile associated with the trench; and cleaving the wafer along the etched trench associated with the scribe line through application of a force to one or more regions of the wafer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for abstracting multiple network attached storage (“NAS”) locations, providing a single global namespace and a single mount point that is protocol and location-independent. As a result, rather than identifying each NAS and file server by location, access is provided through a single transparent mechanism. In order to maintain transparency, the present invention provides a way to reconcile the different naming practices for different file server protocols.

Abstract: A sunshade device for a stroller includes two connecting mechanisms, a first support bracket, and a second support bracket. Each of the two connecting mechanisms includes a support member, a first pivot member, and a second pivot member. Thus, the first pivot member and the second pivot member are spaced from each other and are mounted on different sides of the support member, so that when the sunshade device is folded, the first support bracket is spaced from the second support bracket with a determined distance, thereby preventing a user's finger from being clamped and hurt by the first support bracket and the second support bracket so as to protect the user's safety.

Abstract: The present invention “Double locks for the chassis of game-bed” includes two locks on the center of the chassis of game-bed. The edges of double locks are connected to the vertical stands of game-bed via several pillars. When the bars inside the second cylinders stretch out, the chassis is locked. So, the game-bed cannot be folded if kids carelessly try to fold it; and thus the kids are safe. When users pull the handle of double locks, the bar will be forced to contract. Then, user may fold the game-bed for storage, thereby save space. The present invention promotes safety for the game-bed, is easy to use, and is a highly practical device.

Abstract: The present invention “safety device for baby's game-bed” includes a safety device installed between the stand and the joint of the game-bed. The safety device consists of a pressure-board and the elastic components installed inside the stands. When the pressure-board is not pressed, the projecting blocking-object of the elastic component forces the stand and the joint to lock together. When user presses the pressure-board, the stand bends against the joint. The safety device of present invention is designed to prevent babies from folding the game-beds carelessly, thereby prevents accidents from happening and upgrades safety for babies.

Abstract: A ratchet wheel device for a baby walker provided on the bottom surface of a chassis of the baby walker, it is comprised of a wheel rim, two transmitting gears, a transmitting member and a cover. The wheel rim is provided therein with a receiving chamber. The two transmitting gears are mounted on both sides of the receiving chamber and can fitly move therein and can be stopped by two stop portions in the receiving chamber. The transmitting member is provided in the receiving chamber and fixed on the chassis of the baby walker. A plurality of engaging teeth are provided thereon to engage with the transmitting gears. When the wheel rim is rotated to a specified direction, the two transmitting gears will not interact with the stop portions. While when it is rotated in the contrary direction, the two transmitting gears will be engaged by the transmitting member to be stopped by the stop portions and to limit rotation of the wheel rim.

Abstract: A fixing device for wheel seats of a baby stroller engaged and fixed each with/on one of the wheel seats, it has a fixing rod secured on the bottom of a foot. The fixing rod has one of its ends protruded down and out from a pipe mouth of the foot, the end is provided at least with a transverse slot. More than one push buttons are provided respectively in the transverse slots of the fixing rod and are displaceable transversely in the transverse slots. An elastic member is received in receiving holes on the push buttons. When the two push buttons are transversely pushed in the transverse slots, they are endued with elastic restoring function. When the foot with the fixing device thereon is extended in the axle hole of the wheel seat, the push buttons are appropriately pushed outwardly by the elastic member to have the bottom of the wheel seat limited by the push buttons from dropping. Assembling and dismantling of the wheel seats are very convenient.

Abstract: A fixing device for the armrest of a baby stroller including a fixing seat secured with one end thereof to the armrest and provided therein with a receiving space; an engaging device placed in the receiving space and comprised of an engaging unit and a push button.
