Patent number: 7888899Abstract: A substrate splitting apparatus and a method for splitting a substrate using the substrate splitting apparatus are provided. The substrate splitting apparatus includes a servo motor, a transmission device, a substrate breaking bar, and a stage. One end of the transmission is directly or indirectly coupled to the servo motor while the other end is coupled with the breaking bar. The stage has a load-lock surface and the load-lock surface faces the breaking bar. The servo motor drives the transmission device to move the breaking bar toward the load-lock surface. A substrate with a pre-crack on the bottom is disposed on the load-lock surface. The servo motor drives the substrate breaking bar to move towards or away from the pre-crack. The method of splitting includes the following steps: forming a pre-crack on the substrate; controlling the servo motor to drive the breaking bar to move towards the substrate; and controlling the breaking bar to press the substrate at the pre-crack.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2008Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Au Optronics CorporationInventors: Li-Ya Yeh, Chih-Wei Chu, Shu-Chih Wang, Wen-Chang Hsieh

Patent number: 6014299Abstract: A device and method for protecting a CPU from being damaged by overrating voltage or overrating current. The means for protecting the CPU is to detect the working voltage and working current provided to the CPU, to compare the working voltage and working current with the voltage and current settings, and to determine whether overrating voltage or/and overrating current is generated. If overrating voltage or/and overrating current occurs, a control signal is sent to the soft switch of an ATX power supply, a first switch, or a second switch in the device in order to cut the supplying route of the power supply. Therefore, the CPU is not broken down due to overrating voltage or/and overrating current. Detection means for detecting the breakdown of a switch-type stabilizing controller of the power supply to the CPU are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1999Date of Patent: January 11, 2000Assignee: Micro-Star Int'l Co., Ltd.Inventor: Wen-Chang Hsieh
