  • Patent number: 11105611
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for non-contact measurement of stress in a thin-film deposited on a substrate is disclosed. The method may include positioning a substrate on a plurality of support-elements, the substrate having a thin-film deposited thereupon. A first-polynomial may be defined for representing a surface of the substrate that is in contact with the support elements. A second-polynomial may be determined based on an optimization determination of potential-energy acting upon the substrate. A finite-order polynomial may be created by calculating a product of the first and second polynomials to represent a shape of the surface of the substrate as a model of the surface. Thereafter, stress in the substrate may be determined based on fitting the model of the surface with a measured topographical data of the surface.

  • Patent number: 9716780
    Abstract: A telephone device is disclosed. The telephone device has a base, a magnetic field generating device, an ear set, a magnetic sensor and a controller. The base has an ear set accommodating area. The magnetic field generating device situates with the base and generates a magnetic field. The ear set detachably connects with the base. The ear set has a magnetic conducted element. The magnetic sensor situates with the base for detecting the magnetic field. The magnetic field detected by the magnetic sensor is reduced due to interference of the magnetic conducted element when the ear set situates at the ear set accommodating area. The controller electronically connects with the magnetic sensor and determines whether the eat set is situated in the ear set accommodating area based on the change of the magnetic field detected by the magnetic sensor.

  • Patent number: 9239599
    Abstract: A combinational cooling pad structure with flash drive storage comprises a cooling pad and a flash drive. The cooling pad comprises at least three combinational pads with structural surfaces. At least two connecting portions are correspondingly disposed between the combinational pads. Limiting structures are correspondingly disposed on outer sides of the outer combinational pads. The combinational pads are connected by the connecting portions to form a structure which can be unfolded flatly; and are folded closely together to form a structural body surrounded by the structural surfaces; and are combined securely by the corresponding limiting structures. An inner hole for inserting the flash drive is defined and formed by inner surfaces of the surrounding combinational pads. A coupling portion is protrudingly disposed at an end of the flash drive, and an interface connector is disposed on the coupling portion. The coupling portion is then inserted into the inner hole.
