  • Patent number: 11156669
    Abstract: Herein disclosed is a device for testing batteries as subjects and a method thereof. The battery testing device comprises a power supply module and a short-circuit sensing module. The power supply module is configured to provide a first testing voltage or a first testing current. The short-circuit sensing module, coupled with the power supply module, is configured to integrate the first testing voltage or current during a first testing period, thereby calculating a first output energy provided by the power supply module. The short-circuit sensing module also determines whether the first output energy exceeds a predetermined energy range; when the range is exceeded, the same module generates an error signal. Wherein the short-circuit sensing module generates an error count by calculating during a second testing period the number of times the short-circuit sensing module generates the error signal.

  • Patent number: 7603641
    Abstract: A PG wire routing optimization tool for more efficiently routing PG wires in a layout design of an integrated circuit. The PG wire routing optimization tool analyzes a routing of the wires of a power and ground network for unacceptable IR-drops or electromigration problems. If one or more problems are discovered, the PG wire routing optimization tool determines design constraints for the wires that will correct the identified problems. It then initiates a floor planning tool to implement these corrective design constraints in the floor plan design. The PG wire routing optimization tool may alternately or additionally determine design constraints that will minimize the area of the wiring but will avoid creating new IR-drop or electromigration problems. It will then initiate a floor planning tool to implement these optimizing design constraints in the floor plan design.

  • Publication number: 20030207531
    Abstract: A method for forming polysilicon connected deep trench DRAM cell. The method at least includes the following steps. First of all, a substrate is provided. Then, a buried plate drives in the substrate. Then, a capacitor dielectric layer is formed to fill into a lower portion of the deep trench. Next, a dielectric collar layer is formed on a sidewall of the deep trench about the capacitor dielectric layer. Then, a selective growth polysilicon layer is formed to fill into the deep trench of the opening. Then, the shallow trench isolation structure is formed in sidewall of the deep trench. Next, a metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor is formed on the substrate. Next, a spacer is formed on sidewall of the metal-oxide semiconductor transistor. Finally, a polysilicon layer is formed on the metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor.

  • Patent number: 6341401
    Abstract: A sponge mop assembly includes a handle and a frame is pivotally connected to the handle. A sponge is movably connected to the frame and located between two squeezing members on the frame. A lever is pivotally connected to the handle and a link device is connected between the lever and the sponge. A sphere is connected to the handle and rotatably obtained in a neck on the frame so that the handle is positioned at angle relative to the frame. Each squeezing member has an extension extending in a direction away from the sponge so that when the squeezing members are rotated to squeeze the sponge, the extensions squeeze the lower portion of the sponge to remove water in the sponge.
