Abstract: A thin film transistor includes a gate electrode embedded in an insulating layer that overlies a substrate, a gate dielectric overlying the gate electrode, an active layer comprising a compound semiconductor material and overlying the gate dielectric, and a source electrode and drain electrode contacting end portions of the active layer. The gate dielectric may have thicker portions over interfaces with the insulating layer to suppress hydrogen diffusion therethrough. Additionally or alternatively, a passivation capping dielectric including a dielectric metal oxide material may be interposed between the active layer and a dielectric layer overlying the active layer to suppress hydrogen diffusion therethrough.

A working fluid is filled in the airtight chamber. A first wick structure layer and a holding-down member are provided between the first and the second plate member and received in the airtight chamber. The holding-down member is located above the first wick structure layer, such that the first wick structure layer is held down by the holding-down member to be closely and flatly attached to the second plate member without warping.

Abstract: A control system and a control method for a forklift are provided. The control system includes a lifting mechanism, a driving device, a sensing device and a control device. The driving device drives the lifting mechanism. The sensing device senses a displacement amount of the lifting mechanism. The control device obtains a displacement speed of the lifting mechanism according to the displacement amount, and judges whether the lifting mechanism is overloaded or not according to the displacement speed. When the control device judges that overloading occurs, the control device controls the driving device to stop driving the lifting mechanism so as to improve the use safety of the forklift.

Abstract: A system and method provisions IPv4 and IPv6 Internet service and load balancer service. An Internet service and load balancer service provisioning module provisions or activates IPv4 or IPv6 Internet service and load balancer service of a VPC environment. A service chain provisioning management unit manages a lifecycle of activating or terminating of the Internet service and load balancer service, and records orders and provisioning processes of a plurality of service nodes. A network resource enablement and setting unit communicates with the service nodes to activate and set each of the service nodes. A network resource management and allocating unit establishes IP resource pools based on different usages of an IPv4 subnet and an IPv6 subnet, and selects the IP resource pools based on usages to obtain a usable IP address. An IPv4 and IPv6 subnets IP resource pools management module manages the IP resource pools.

Abstract: A graphite cast iron nitrided piston ring has a main body including matrix and a nitrided layer. The matrix is made of graphite cast iron, and the nitrided layer is formed by subjecting a surface of the matrix to contact a cylinder to a gas nitriding process. With the nitrided layer formed at the surface of the matrix made of graphite cast iron, the piston ring has sufficient hardness and good abrasion resistance.
