Patent number: 10635620Abstract: A functional module board for outputting an output signal to an application terminal includes a main board and a sub board. The main board includes a processor and a main board connector. The sub board includes a sub board connector, a signal converter, and a signal output terminal. The main board connector is detachably connected to the sub board connector, and the processor sends a native signal to the sub board. The sub board converts the native signal to the output signal via the signal converter after receiving the native signal, and the signal output terminal outputs the output signal to the application terminal. The functional module board of the present application can change the design of the sub board according to different application terminal requirements in the case of the same main board to save the development cost.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2018Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: ADLINK TECHNOLOGY INC.Inventors: Yu-Li Tsai, Yu-Yun Liu, Shih-Hsun Chou

Patent number: 8143590Abstract: An ion source apparatus has an ion source assembly and a neutralizer. The ion source assembly has a body, a heat-dissipating device, an anode chunk and a gas distributor. The heat-dissipating device has a thermal transfer plate and a first thermal side sheet. The thermal transfer plate has a top, a protrusion and an annular disrupting recess. The protrusion is formed at the top of the thermal transfer plate. The disrupting recess is radially formed around the protrusion. The first thermal side sheet surrounds the protrusion. The gas distributor is mounted securely in the protrusion. Because the protrusion is located between the gas distributor and the first thermal side sheet and the disrupting recess is radially formed around the protrusion, accumulated ions, molecules and deposition film particles are longitudinally disrupted and do not form a short circuit between the gas distributor and the first thermal side sheet.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2010Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Inventors: Tsai-Cheng Wang, Chin-Chung Yang, An-Ting Hsiao, Yu-Li Tsai
