  • APPARATUS AND METHOD TO MONITOR DIE EDGE DEFECTS
    Publication number: 20140168879
    Abstract: Described is an apparatus comprising: an input pad; an output pad; a wire, coupled to the input pad and the output pad, the wire positioned at a periphery of a semiconductor die, the wire extending substantially along a perimeter of the semiconductor die; and one or more diodes, coupled at various sections of the wire, and positioned along the perimeter of the semiconductor die and surrounding the semiconductor die.

  • PIEZORESISTIVE TRANSDUCER WITH LOW THERMAL NOISE
    Publication number: 20140137653
    Abstract: In a MEMS PRT having a diaphragm that is located offset from the center of the die, thermally-induced thermal noise in the output of a Wheatstone bridge circuit is reduced by locating the Wheatstone bridge circuit away from the largest area of the die and supporting pedestal.

  • LIQUID SUPPLYING AND COLLECTING APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20130300808
    Abstract: An ink supplying and collecting apparatus includes a case, ink cartridges detachably attached to the case, and a collecting container detachably attached to the case. The ink cartridges supply ink to a recording head of a printer via ink supply tubes. The collecting container collects ink drained from the recording head via an ink drain tube. The case is located outside of and is separate from the printer. Thus, the sizes and shapes of the ink cartridges and the collecting container can be freely designed.

  • SEMICONDUCTOR SENSING DEVICE TO MINIMIZE THERMAL NOISE
    Publication number: 20130192378
    Abstract: An MEMS pressure sensor is designed to reduce or eliminate thermal noise, such as temperature offset voltage output. The pressure sensor includes a pressure sensing element having a diaphragm, and a cavity formed as part of the pressure sensing element, where the cavity receives a fluid such that the diaphragm at least partially deflects. The pressure sensing element also includes a plurality of piezoresistors, which are operable to generate a signal based on the amount of deflection in the diaphragm. At least one trench is integrally formed as part of the pressure sensing element, and an adhesive connects the pressure sensing element to the at least one substrate such that at least a portion of the adhesive is attached to the trench and redistributes thermally induced stresses on the pressure sensing element such that the thermally induced noise is substantially eliminated.

  • Video storage and distribution
    Patent number: 8479242
    Abstract: Receiving and sending videos over a network such as the Internet. In one implementation, users upload videos to a web site in a variety of formats. The videos are transcoded and other users can view the videos by indicating their desire to do so on the site. In one embodiment, a video is streamed to the watching user using Flash and the user watches the video via a Flash player, for example, a flash player in his browser.
