  • Patent number: 11242752
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a liquid taking device and a liquid taking method. The liquid taking device comprises a liquid taking bottle, a heavy ball and liquid taking ropes. The liquid taking bottle has a first mouth and a bottom opposite to the first mouth. The heavy ball is arranged in the liquid taking bottle. The liquid taking device can be controlled to reach different depths under the ground by the action of two liquid ropes. When the first mouth of the bottle is placed facing downward, the heavy ball blocks the first mouth of the bottle under its own gravity to prevent liquid leakage; when the first mouth of the bottle is turned upwards under the action of the liquid taking rope, the heavy ball falls onto the bottom of the bottle, such that an external liquid can flow into the liquid taking device, which has a good practical utility.

  • Patent number: 11171203
    Abstract: A variety of high electron mobility transistor structures are provided having charge compensation regions that can extend below the gate electrode through the barrier layer and at least partially through the III-V semiconductor layer. The charge compensation regions include a p-type semiconductor or oxide. In some aspects, the charge compensation regions extend vertically through said barrier layer into said channel layer, wherein said charge-compensation regions are doped with p-type dopants and are placed aside the 2DEG channel and do not overlap vertically with the 2DEG channel. In some aspects, at least a portion of the charge compensation regions extend from below the gate electrode to make Ohmic contact with the source electrode. In some aspects, by extending the charge compensation regions from below the gate electrode and closer to the source and drain electrodes, the HEFTs can demonstrate avalanche characteristics.
