Publication number: 20230103745Abstract: A Rugged portable device comprises: a base, a cover pivotally connected to the base, a first antenna unit, a second antenna unit, and a control unit. The first antenna unit and the second antenna unit are respectively disposed at an edge of the cover and an edge of the base, and the first antenna unit and the second antenna unit respectively have a near-field antenna and a far-field antenna. When the cover pivots relative to the base and is close to the base, the near-field antenna disposed at the cover and the near-field antenna disposed at the base generate a near-field communication (NFC) sensing signal and the near-field communication sensing signal is transmitted to the control unit. Therefore, the control unit sets up one of functions in the rugged portable device. For instance, the control unit switches off and/or switches on the far-field antenna or a peripheral unit (a keyboard or a camera).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2021Publication date: April 6, 2023Applicant: Winmate Inc.Inventors: KU-CHING LU, WEI-WEN YANG, HSIN-CHIN WANG, CHUN-YU HUANG

Patent number: 9707662Abstract: A polishing pad having a detection window and a method of manufacturing the polishing pad are provided. A dummy detection window is pre-disposed in a mold. A polishing layer precursor is filled into the mold, and then a solidifying process is performed to form a polishing layer, wherein the polishing layer and the dummy detection window are separable completely. The polishing layer and the dummy detection window are separated from each other so as to form a detection opening in the polishing layer. The detection opening can alternatively be formed in a mold having a protrusion structure to replace the dummy detection window. A detection window precursor is filled into the detection opening, and then a solidifying process is performed to form a detection window.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2013Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: IV TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Kun-Che Pai, Shiuan-Tzung Li, Chao-Chin Wang, Wei-Wen Yang
