Patent number: 11156669Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2020Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: CHROMA ATE INC.Inventors: Shuo-Chieh Chang, Che-Wei Wu, Ta-Cheng Lin, Ming-Ying Tsou

Patent number: 7603641Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2005Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Assignee: Mentor Graphics CorporationInventor: Ta-Cheng Lin

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.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2000Date of Patent: January 29, 2002Inventor: Ta Cheng Lin
