Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) structure includes a semiconductor substrate, a first gate line, a second gate line, and a first auxiliary gate portion. The semiconductor substrate comprises a semiconductor fin. The semiconductor fin extends substantially along a first direction. The first gate line and the second gate line extend substantially along a second direction different form the first direction from a top view. The first auxiliary gate portion connects the first gate line to the second gate line from the top view.

Abstract: A Christmas tree ornamental lighting system is provided having a light strand combining primary lights and secondary lights, which illuminate in unison. A first illuminating component, represents a prearranged decorative pattern object and is coupled to a primary light and is illuminated, when the primary light is in a not illuminated state, and does not illuminate, when the primary light illuminates. A temperature switching function of the primary light is used to switch between the illuminate and non-illuminate states. A second illumination component, which also represents a prearranged pattern, is coupled to a secondary light and illuminates in synchronism with a respective secondary light. The lighting system achieves an enriched visual effect by taking advantage of the illuminate and non-illuminate states of the primary and secondary lights and first and second illuminating components, and various transitions between them.

Abstract: A kick-activated wearable alarm for infants is provided that includes three temperature sensors and a main controller unit installed in a belt pack. The belt pack is directly worn around the abdominal section of an infant and operates in conjunction with an external receiver, whereby the disclosed structure offers total kicking and fever sensing performance. The belt pack is installed around the abdominal section of an infant with two of the three sensors respectively placed in an exposed state at the anterior and posterior aspects of the abdominal section and the other sensor being placed inside the clothing of the infant. Whether the infant kicks while asleep or awake, or when a fever develops that raises body temperature, the three temperature sensors are connected to a conductor interfaced to the main controller unit. The main controller unit transfers the sensed signal to an external receiver, which emits of an audible alarm.
