  • Publication number: 20240090230
    Abstract: A memory array and an operation method of the memory array are provided. The memory array includes first and second ferroelectric memory devices formed along a gate electrode, a channel layer and a ferroelectric layer between the gate electrode and the channel layer. The ferroelectric memory devices include: a common source/drain electrode and two respective source/drain electrodes, separately in contact with a side of the channel layer opposite to the ferroelectric layer, wherein the common source/drain electrode is disposed between the respective source/drain electrodes; and first and second auxiliary gates, capacitively coupled to the channel layer, wherein the first auxiliary gate is located between the common source/drain electrode and one of the respective source/drain electrodes, and the second auxiliary gate is located between the common source/drain electrode and the other respective source/drain electrode.

  • Publication number: 20160048117
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a sensing module and a processing module. The processing module stores a reference value and a control value. The sensing module is configured to sense a rotation of an electronic device to receive a rotation signal when the electronic device rotates. The processing module is configured to transform the rotation signal to a current value after reading the rotation signal. The processing module is configured to reset the control value to the current value upon determining that the current value is not equal to the reference value. The processing module is configured to control the electronic device to rotate according to the control value. A method of rotating the electronic device is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20160041751
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display of stacked interfaces includes a touch panel, a display unit, a determination unit, and a processing unit. The touch panel has a detection unit for detecting a present touch on the touch panel and generating a signal of touch. The display unit can display two stacked interfaces, an upper interface and a lower interface. The determination unit is configured to determine whether a present touch is applied to the upper interface or to the lower interface. When the present touch is on the upper interface, the determination unit transmits the signal of touch from the upper interface to the lower interface. The processing unit is configured to control the upper interface or the lower interface to respond accordingly to the signal of touch.

  • Publication number: 20150029231
    Abstract: A method for displaying a virtual momentum or inertia of an object includes detecting a slide operation applied to the object and obtaining information of the slide operation. An initial speed, a first slide direction, and a sliding distance of the object are calculated according to the obtained information after a user ceases applying a slide operation to the object. A slide path of the object is determined according to the calculated initial speed, the calculated first slide direction, and the calculated sliding distance. The object is controlled to continue sliding, subject to an apparent friction and apparent collisions with edges of a display screen, along the determined slide path after the user ceases to apply an actual sliding operation.
