Patent number: 11966381Abstract: Embodiments maintain a data pool that includes heterogeneous data sets, and receiving a first data batch of a data set from a data source into the data pool. Embodiments determine a current state of the data set based on a data set state diagram including a plurality of data set states, and identify a condition of the first data batch. Embodiments further set a data batch state for the first data batch, based on a data batch state diagram, and update the data batch state of a prior data batch received before the first data batch, based on the condition of the first data batch. Embodiments additionally transition the data set state diagram, based on the condition of the first data batch, to an updated data set state. Embodiments maintain a data state repository storing the data set state for each of the plurality of heterogeneous data sets.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Liangzhao Zeng, Ting Yu Cliff Leung, Yat On Lau, Jimmy Hong, Chuang Yao, Yen-Ting Liu, Ting-Kuan Wu

Patent number: 11953839Abstract: In a method of cleaning a lithography system, during idle mode, a stream of air is directed, through a first opening, into a chamber of a wafer table of an EUV lithography system. One or more particles is extracted by the directed stream of air from surfaces of one or more wafer chucks in the chamber of the wafer table. The stream of air and the extracted one or more particle are drawn, through a second opening, out of the chamber of the wafer table.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY, LTD.Inventors: Shih-Yu Tu, Shao-Hua Wang, Yen-Hao Liu, Chueh-Chi Kuo, Li-Jui Chen, Heng-Hsin Liu

Patent number: 11948949Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a device having a semiconductor substrate including a frontside and a backside. On the frontside of the semiconductor substrate are a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region. A gate electrode is arranged on the frontside of the semiconductor substrate and includes a horizontal portion, a first vertical portion, and a second vertical portion. The horizontal portion is arranged over the frontside of the semiconductor substrate and between the first and second source/drain regions. The first vertical portion extends from the frontside towards the backside of the semiconductor substrate and contacts the horizontal portion of the gate electrode structure. The second vertical portion extends from the frontside towards the backside of the semiconductor substrate, contacts the horizontal portion of the gate electrode structure, and is separated from the first vertical portion by a channel region of the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Chun-Yuan Chen, Ching-Chun Wang, Hsiao-Hui Tseng, Jen-Cheng Liu, Jhy-Jyi Sze, Shyh-Fann Ting, Wei Chuang Wu, Yen-Ting Chiang, Chia Ching Liao, Yen-Yu Chen

Publication number: 20240106104Abstract: An electronic device includes a device body and an antenna module disposed in the device body and including a conductive structure and a coaxial cable including a core wire, a shielding layer wrapping the core wire, and an outer jacket wrapping the shielding layer. The conductive structure includes a structure body and a slot formed on the structure body and penetrating the structure body in a thickness direction of the structure body. A section of the shielding layer extends from the outer jacket and is connected to the structure body. A physical portion of the structure body and the section of the shielding layer are respectively located on two opposite sides of the slot in a width direction of the slot. A section of the core wire extends from the section of the shielding layer and overlaps the slot and the physical portion in the thickness direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Hung-Yu Yeh, Shih-Chia Liu, Yen-Hao Yu, Li-Chun Lee, Chih-Heng Lin, Jui-Hung Lai

Patent number: 10921070Abstract: The present disclosure describes a connector assembly for a liquid manifold within a server rack. The connector assembly includes a pipe configured to connect to the liquid manifold. The pipe has a flexible portion configured to accommodate at least one of lateral or vertical manipulation of the pipe while the pipe remains connected to the liquid manifold. The connector assembly further includes a first connector and a second connector configured to form a liquid-tight connection when coupled together. One of the first connector and the second connector is connected to a distal end of the pipe. The other of the first connector and the second connector is configured to connect to a component within the server rack, for supplying coolant from the liquid manifold to the component.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2019Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: QUANTA COMPUTER INC.Inventors: Chao-Jung Chen, Chih-Hsiang Lee, Chih-Ming Chen, Yen-Yu Liu
