Abstract: A wireless device with a slot antenna includes one or more heat spreaders, a PCB with vias to allow current to flow through the PCB, various components disposed on the PCB, and a slot antenna compliment. By layering the components, e.g., heat spreaders, PCB, slot antenna compliment, etc. one or more slot antennas are formed from these components as to integrate the slot antennas into the existing structure. The formed slot antenna is a spiraled shape as to reduce the overall footprint of the slot antenna while keeping the required quarter-wavelength total effective length of an open-slot antenna. The formed slot antenna is wide enough to allow the antenna to accommodate a wide bandwidth and may include a plurality of steps to further allow for tuning of the length of the slot antenna. The wireless device can further include a housing enclosing the internal components.

Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes the steps of forming a stacked structure on a substrate, forming an insulating layer on the stacked structure, forming a passivation layer on the insulating layer, performing an etching process to form an opening through the passivation layer and the insulating layer to expose a portion of the stacked structure and an extending portion of the insulating layer, and forming a contact structure filling the opening and directly contacting the stacked structure, wherein the extending portion of the insulating layer is adjacent to a surface of the stacked structure directly contacting the contact structure.

Abstract: An umbrella with a canopy rotating function comprises a central shaft, an upper nest assembly, a lower nest assembly, a canopy unit. The upper nest assembly comprises an upper nest body, a fastener and a movable upper nest. The lower nest assembly comprises a pulley seat, a lower nest body and a movable lower nest. Thus, in an opened state, the upper nest body and the lower nest body are connected and positioned, and the canopy unit can link with the movable upper nest and the movable lower nest, so that the movable lower nest and the movable upper nest synchronously rotate relatively to the central shaft.

Abstract: An operation system for umbrellas includes a multiple-section shaft with a top cap connected to a top thereof and the top cap has a first extension which includes a flexible part formed thereto. A protrusion extends from a distal end of the flexible part. A runner is movably mounted to the shaft and the first extension. The runner has a second extension which has a positioning hole so as to receive the protrusion to stop the runner from moving downward. A hollow sleeve is movably mounted to the second extension and drives the runner to move along the shaft. The sleeve has a compressing member to compress the protrusion inward to disengage the protrusion from the positioning hole when folding the umbrella.

Abstract: A collapsing mechanism for umbrellas includes a transmission member and a movable member which is engaged with the transmission member to stop the mechanism from being stopped during the action and the umbrella does not opened suddenly to hurt people. During the collapsing action, the action can be stopped as desired and the umbrella is maintained at that status and does not open. By the mechanism, the user does not need to complete the collapsing action at one time.

Abstract: A two-stage collapsing device includes a base having a passage with first and second slots defined in an inner periphery thereof. A first locking member and a second locking member are movably received in the two slots. The first and second locking members each include a latch to be engaged with a hole of the runner. A button is connected to the base and the second locking member is fixed to the button. A U-shaped member is pivotably connected to the inside of the button and two legs of the U-shaped member can push the first locking member inward to release the runner when opening the umbrella. During the first stage of collapsing the two legs of the U-shaped member are pivoted away from the two distal ends of the first locking member, so that even if the button is pressed, the umbrella does not open.

Abstract: A method for control of humidity and auto-dispensing of pills in a pill box includes a box having multiple rooms defined therein which are shifted to be in alignment with an outlet. The method controls the humidity in each of the rooms and provides a control unit which controls a transmission unit to proceed a mechanical action to shift the rooms to be in alignment with the outlet according to a time setting signal so as to dispense at least one pill. The method includes a display unit to display time information and provides a reminder to take pills by way of audio and/or light.

Abstract: An umbrella structure according to the invention includes a cover, a shaft, a notch, a runner, main ribs and stretchers. The notch is downwardly extended to form an extension section, which is accommodated with the runner and extruded to form an integral elastic protrusion. The protrusion is devised as a fastening button with one end thereof joined with the extension section, and a projecting top portion forming a supporting plane for butting against the runner. When the umbrella is stretched, the supporting plane of the protrusion section is butted against a lower section of the runner to stretch the umbrella.

Abstract: An umbrella structure includes a cover, a shaft, a notch, a runner, main ribs and stretchers. The notch is extended downward to form a fixing portion. The fixing portion has one end disposed with a protruding loop section, and an appropriate position disposed with a fastening orifice for corresponding with the protruding button. The runner is accommodated at the fixing portion, and is capable of up-and-down sliding movements at the fixing portion. When stretching the umbrella, the protruding button at the fastening device is steadily locked at the fastening orifice at the fixing portion to smoothly stretch the umbrella. When collapsing the umbrella, the shaft is stored in the fixing portion to prevent the shaft from damages and deformations by offering the shaft with appropriate protection. Using the aforesaid structure, a drawback as being incapable of securely stretching the umbrella due to a reduced volume of the umbrella is solved.

Abstract: A flat umbrella improvement structure is comprised of a notch and a runner, both are in flat shapes. A variety of main ribs have one ends thereof symmetrically pivoted on both sides of the curved edges of the notch and have the middle portions thereof that are pivoted to the notch on the same side of the notch designed as curved surfaces and protruded in shape, in addition, a variety of stretchers that are correspondently pivoted to the main ribs have the portions thereof connecting to the runner designed as curved protruded shapes as well. As the umbrella is collapsed, the collapsed middle radial heights of the main ribs and of the stretchers are higher than the collapsed radial heights of the rest main ribs and of the corresponding stretchers. Therefore, the umbrella of the invention is able to be collapsed tightly in a flat collapsed shape with minimum umbrella size, thereby enabling said umbrella to be easily carried and stored.
