Abstract: A novel MOS transistor structure and methods of making the same are provided. The structure includes a MOS transistor formed on a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type with a plug region of first conductivity type formed in the drain extension region of second conductivity type (in the case of a high voltage MOS transistor) or in the lightly doped drain (LDD) region of second conductivity type (in the case of a low voltage MOS transistor). Such structure leads to higher on-breakdown voltage. The inventive principle applies to MOS transistors formed on bulky semiconductor substrate and MOS transistors formed in silicon-on-insulator configuration.

Abstract: A signal processing method is provided and includes the following steps. A first synchronizing signal having a synchronizing frequency and a next expected pulse with an expected rising edge is provided. A second synchronizing signal having a selected frequency being within a frequency range is produced when the synchronizing frequency of the first synchronizing signal is out of a frequency range. A third synchronizing signal having a first pulse with a first rising edge is produced when the synchronizing frequency is within the frequency range, wherein the first rising edge is produced at an expected time point. Whether the next expected pulse appears in a period from the expected time point to a certain time point is detected as a detecting result. And a first falling edge of the first pulse is produced based on the detecting result. A picture-field flicker phenomenon of an LCD is eliminated through the method.

Abstract: A nailing gun includes a swing arm having a first end pivoted to a frame, and a second end movable between a first position proximate to a flywheel to drive a hammer rod to hit a nail, and a second position distal from the flywheel. A spring plate has a spring end portion resiliently supporting the second end of the swing arm. The stop member limits the spring end portion and the second end of the swing arm from moving relative to the frame. When a safety member is subjected to an external pressure, the stop member permits the second end of the swing arm to move together with the spring end portion to the first position. The spring end portion can stably retain the second end of the swing arm at the second position in case of no external pressure.
