  • Patent number: 10446511
    Abstract: A fan-out structure and its manufacturing method are presented, relating to semiconductor techniques. The fan-out structure includes a welding pad; a welding pad extension member contacting the welding pad; and a fan-out line contacting the welding pad extension member, with an elicitation direction of the fan-out line perpendicular to an extension direction of the welding pad. This fan-out structure allows the fan-out line to be horizontally or vertically elicited from the welding pad, and thus remedies the drawbacks associated with an aslant-elicited fan-out line in conventional fan-out structures.

  • Patent number: 10444715
    Abstract: Techniques are described for controlling attributes and/or settings related to operation of devices via a wireless network. An access device can determine a status of a configurable attribute/setting related to operation of a device (e.g., a home automation network device that can control a home appliance) connected to the network. The computing device can execute an application that can generate and display a graphical interface including an interactive area or an interactive element to control the device. The interactive element or the graphical interface can indicate a current value for the setting/attribute. The interactive area or element can be adjustable to adjust the setting/attribute. An adjusted value of the setting/attribute can be communicated to the network which can cause operation of the device to be controlled based on the adjusted value. The computing device can modify the graphical interface to indicate the adjusted value of the setting/attribute.

  • Patent number: 10446341
    Abstract: A keypad includes a base, an actuator, a first and second elastic member and a pivotal mechanism. The base has a through hole. The actuator is located in through hole to be moved between initial position and pressed position. The first elastic member is connected between the base and the actuator. The pivotal mechanism is pivotably and linearly movably disposed on the actuator to be moved between withdrawn position and protruding position. The second elastic member is connected between the actuator and the pivotal mechanism. The base has stop block and recess and the pivotal mechanism has tooth. While the actuator is moved to the pressed position, the tooth is stopped by the stop block so that the pivotal mechanism is pivoted and then linearly moved to the withdrawn position, and then enters into the recess, enabling the pivotal mechanism to the protruding position and press a switch.

  • Publication number: 20190310006
    Abstract: A water pocket with an open top side is filled with water, mounted in a regular position on a supporting frame, and tilts to supply the water stored in the water pocket to an ice making tray, thereby easily supplying a required amount of water to the ice making tray. A refrigerator includes an ice making tray provided to linearly move with rotation when ice of the ice making tray is separated, or includes a holding preventing member which prevents the ice from being caught by a lower ice making tray, thereby improving a forward-and-backward width of an ice maker. It is possible to easily withdraw ice stored in an ice bucket by pushing an ice discharge button in a state in which the ice bucket is not separated.

  • Publication number: 20190312347
    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a dielectric cover layer and a conductive layer on the dielectric cover layer. The conductive layer may define an opening. A dielectric spacer may be mounted to the cover layer within the opening. A substrate may be mounted to the spacer. Vertical conductive structures may extend from the conductive layer to the substrate and may laterally surround the spacer. A phased antenna array may be formed on the substrate and aligned with the opening. The cover layer may have a dielectric constant and thickness that are selected to form a quarter wave impedance transformer for the array at a wavelength of operation of the array. The spacer and the conductive structures may exhibit a cavity resonance at the wavelength. The array and the conductive structures may radiate radio-frequency signals at millimeter wave frequencies through the dielectric cover layer.
