  • Publication number: 20240158309
    Abstract: The invention provides a material surface treatment equipment, which is applied to a material substrate. The material surface treatment equipment includes a surface treatment device and at least one waveguide device. The surface treatment device is used to carry the material substrate to perform a surface treatment process. Each waveguide device is used for introducing electromagnetic waves to the material substrate to assist in performing the surface treatment process. Through the introduction of electromagnetic waves, the surface treatment process of the material substrate is easy to perform and can achieve the strengthening effect.

  • Patent number: 11966628
    Abstract: A memory device, includes a memory array for storing a plurality of vector data each of which has an MSB vector and a LSB vector. The memory array includes a plurality of memory units each of which has a first bit and a second bit. The first bit is used to store the MSB vector of each vector data, the second bit is used to store the LSB vector of each vector data. A bit line corresponding to each vector data executes one time of bit-line-setup, and reads the MSB vector and the LSB vector of each vector data according to the bit line. The threshold voltage distribution of each memory unit is divided into N states, where N is a positive integer and N is less than 2 to the power of 2, and the effective bit number stored by each memory unit is less than 2.

  • Patent number: 11956788
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device may transmit an expiration indication to a receiving device as part of a scheduling message for a transport block. The expiration indication may provide information related to an expiration time for the transport block. If the expiration time is reached prior to successful reception by a receiving device, the receiving device may assume that the transport block has expired and may refrain from transmitting a retransmission grant, or may empty a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARM) buffer associated with the transport block. If the transmitting device fails to successfully receive an indication from the receiving device of a successful reception of the transport block prior to the expiration period, the transmitting device may also assume that the transport block has expired.

  • Publication number: 20230166315
    Abstract: A hemming path planning method and a hemming system are provided. The hemming path planning method includes the following steps. An initial contour data of a target is scanned to obtain. A first segment of the hemming path is planned according to the initial contour data. The first segment corresponds to a first bending angle. A second segment of the hemming path is planned according to the initial contour data and an expected springback amount related to the first bending angle. The second segment corresponds to a second bending angle. The first segment and the second segment are combined to obtain a continuous hemming path.

  • Publication number: 20140048994
    Abstract: A non-contact substrate chuck applies to sucking a substrate and comprises a first plate-like element, a second plate-like element paralleled the first plate-like element and a sucking element, wherein through holes of the first plate-like element and the second plate-like element jointly form a channel where the sucking element is accommodated. The chuck lets gas flow through a gas inlet of the sucking element toward the substrate to form a gap between an active surface of the substrate and a first surface of the first plate-like element. At least one side of the substrate is positioned by positioning protrusions of the first plate-like element. A least possible number of supporting points are used and arranged around the sides of the substrate without touching the substrate surface to prevent the substrate surface from being damaged. The present invention also discloses a vertical-type substrate supporting apparatus using the abovementioned chuck.
