  • Publication number: 20150056088
    Abstract: An inner-rotor fan includes a hub, a retaining tube, and a magnetic ring. The retaining tube is disposed in the hub, and the magnetic ring is disposed on the retaining tube. The retaining tube and the hub are formed as a single piece, and thus the stability of the fan is increased. Moreover, the magnetic flux in an inner hole of the magnetic ring is about 0 Wb, and thus an iron ring within the magnetic ring may be excluded.

  • Patent number: 8964453
    Abstract: Roughly described, the cell layout in an SRAM array is re-arranged such that the gate electrodes for transistors for which flexibility to use one channel length is desired, are formed along a different track from those for transistors for which flexibility to use a different channel length is desired. Not only does such a re-arrangement permit optimization of device ratios, but also in certain implementations can also reduce, rather than increase, cell area. Specific example layouts are described. The invention also involves layout files, macrocells, lithographic masks and integrated circuit devices incorporating these principles, as well as fabrication methods.

  • Publication number: 20150044008
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a wafer transfer robot having a robot blade that can be used to handle substrates that are patterned on both sides without causing warpage of the substrates. In some embodiments, the wafer transfer robot has a robot blade coupled to a transfer arm that varies a position of the robot blade. The robot blade has a wafer reception area that receives a substrate. Two or more spatially distinct contact points are located at positions along a perimeter of the wafer reception area that provide support to opposing edges of the substrate. The two or more contact points are separated by a cavity in the robot blade. The cavity mitigates contact between a backside of the substrate and the robot blade, while providing support to opposing sides of the substrate to prevent warpage of the substrate.

    Abstract: A control circuit of light emitting diodes is used for driving at least one series of light emitting diodes. The control circuit includes a current setting pin, a driving current generator, a regulator circuit, and an adjuster. A reference current flows through the current setting pin. The driving current generator is used for generating a driving current flowing through the series of light emitting diodes according to the reference current. The adjuster generates an adjustment voltage according to the reference current. Then, the regulator circuit generates a supply voltage to drive the series of light emitting diodes, and regulates a voltage of a first terminal of the series of light emitting diodes at a target voltage according to the adjustment voltage. The target voltage is increased with decrease of the driving current when the driving current is less than a first predetermined current.

  • Patent number: 8942099
    Abstract: A method to realize IP flow mobility (IFOM) between 3GPP access and non-3GPP access over GTP based interfaces is proposed. A user equipment is connected to a PDN-GW via a 3GPP access network and a non-3GPP access network. The UE transmits an IFOM triggering message to the PDN-GW, which selects IP flows to be moved based on EPS bearer ID and IP flow description. The PDN-GW sends an Update Bearer Request to a WAG or ePDG, and updates its mapping table if the Update Bearer Request is successful. The UE also updates its mapping table upon receiving an IFOM acknowledgement from the WAG or ePDG. The PDN-GW initiates a 3GPP bearer modification procedure to move the selected IP flows.
