  • Publication number: 20240383168
    Abstract: A round bar cutting device includes a tool rest that is penetrated by a perforation for a round bar to pass through in axial direction. A virtual axis is defined to pass through the radial center of the perforation in the extension direction of the perforation. Four planer tools protrude from the tool rest. The planer tools are spaced apart around the axis as the center. A first edge is formed on one side of the planer tools towards the axis respectively, so as to cut a square bar which moves towards the perforation among the planer tools and rotates round the axis to form the round bar. The cutting device can fully cut the entire section of the square bar in the axial direction into the round bar, and the material utilization efficiency of the square bar is increased.

  • Publication number: 20240342944
    Abstract: A workpiece guiding device having a base, a supporting component and a limiting component, wherein the base is formed with a loading surface to load the workpiece. The loading surface is formed with a first long slot facing downward. A supporting component is movably configured on the loading surface. The bottom of the supporting component is formed with a second long slot facing upward. The first and second long slots are opposite each other in the vertical direction, forming a long first space. The limiting component is removably configured in the first space. The radial periphery of the limiting component enters the long slots. One side of the supporting component is defined as a supporting side, which is used to receive the lateral pressing by the workpiece. The workpiece guiding device enhances the convenience in adjusting the position of the supporting component at a regularly used tooling angle.

  • Publication number: 20240274675
    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to semiconductor devices, and more particularly to field-effect transistors (FETs). A substrate includes fin-like protruding portions in which source/drain regions are formed on the fin-like protruding portions of the substrate. The source/drain regions are laterally adjacent and electrically coupled to the nanostructure channels. A dielectric material is partially filling spaces between the fin-like protruding portions and partially are coupled to the source/drain regions. A barrier layer is on the dielectric material and covers portions of the source/drain regions. A source/drain contact is formed in the barrier layer and is partially in contact with the source/drain regions. The barrier layer and the dielectric material that formed below the MD contact in spaces between the source/drain regions result in a reduction of parasitic capacitance of the metal contacts such as gate-drain capacitance (Cgd).

  • Publication number: 20240009884
    Abstract: A mortise and tenon joint tooling guide includes a base seat, two templates, an adjusting plate and a clamping structure. The base seat has a platform and an opening through the platform. Each of the templates can be arranged on the platform at intervals in a movable form. Each of the templates is formed with a guiding edge on one side. The guiding edges face each other and are used to guide the machining tool going through the opening to process a workpiece to form a mortise or tenon. The adjusting plate is configured on the base seat, capable of moving back and forth, and is used to abut against the workpiece, and to correct the distance between the template and the surface. The clamping structure is configured on the base seat, and is used to clamp the workpiece, so as to relatively position the platform and the workpiece.

  • Publication number: 20240009742
    Abstract: A drilling guide with easily configured mounting holes for handles and insertion rods thereof includes a base, an abutting bar, two hole site structures and two insertion rods. The abutting bar slides back and forth in the second direction on the back side of the base. The hole site structures can oppositely slide in the first direction on the base, and penetrate a channel respectively, so that the drilling tool is aligned with an object on the back side of the base through the channels to process two mounting holes. The insertion rods are removably disposed in the channels. The diameter of the insertion rod changes in axial direction. The insertion rod is axially located in the channel, and the insertion rod protrudes from the bolt, and axially enters the nail hole of the handle, so as to set the distance of the mounting holes to fit the handle.

  • Patent number: 11606075
    Abstract: Tunable, broadband directional coupler circuits employing one or more additional, switchable coupling circuits for controlling frequency response, and related methods. In exemplary aspects, the directional coupler includes one or more additional coupling circuits that each include an additional coupling line located adjacent to the primary coupling line and that can be selectively activated to change a frequency response of the directional coupler. When an additional coupling circuit is activated, its additional coupling line has the effect of extending the length of the primary coupling line through mutual inductance, thus changing the coupling frequency response of the directional coupler. The additional coupling circuit includes one or more switch(es) to allow for the selective coupling of its additional coupling line to the coupling and/or isolation ports of the directional coupler to selectively change and control the frequency response of the primary coupling line.
