Abstract:
An interposer element in a multidimensional integrated circuit with stacked elements has one or more conductors, especially power supply lines, coupled through decoupling networks defining low impedance shunts for high frequency signals to ground. The interposer has successive tiers including silicon, metal and dielectric deposition layers. The decoupling network for a conductor has at least one and preferably two reactive transmission lines. A transmission line has an inductor in series with the conductor and parallel capacitances at the inductor terminals. The inductors are formed by traces in spaced metal deposition layers forming coil windings and through vias connecting between layers to permit conductor crossovers. The capacitances are formed by MOScaps in the interposer layers. An embodiment has serially coupled coils with capacitances at the input, output and junction between the coils, wherein the coils are magnetically coupled to form a transformer.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating a compound semiconductor epitaxial structure includes the following steps. Firstly, a first compound epitaxial layer is formed on a substrate. Then, a continuous epitaxial deposition process is performed to form a second compound epitaxial layer on the first compound epitaxial layer, so that the second compound epitaxial layer has a linearly-decreased concentration gradient of metal. Afterwards, a semiconductor material layer is formed on the second compound epitaxial layer.
Abstract:
A snap hook has a body, a sliding latch, a resilient element, a swivel and a connector. The body has a shaft and a hook. The shaft is tubular and has an upper end and a lower end. The hook is connected to and extends from the upper end of the shaft. A guide slot is defined longitudinally the shaft and communicates with the lower end of the shaft. Accordingly, no sharp edges are formed near the sliding latch so a person opening the snap hook will not be injured. In addition, assembling the snap hook is easy.

Abstract:
Sacrificial electrodes with fractal-shaped are formed on a SAW (surface acoustic wave) device. The sacrificial electrodes discharge electro-static charge in the SAW device for protecting the IDT (inter-digital transducer) from electrostatic break. Moreover, the sacrificial electrodes can control the path and the discharging degree of the electro-static discharge to avoid losing the electrostatic discharge protection due to the sacrificial electrodes are broken.

Abstract:
A proximal posterior tibial plateau locking compression plate is revealed. This locking compression plate mainly includes a fixing plate and a pressing head having at least one threaded fixing hole and bent forward from the fixing plate. At least one lateral threaded fixing hole is arranged along the two sides the fixing plate and a plurality of lower threaded fixing holes is disposed on the fixing plate, extending downward. The threaded fixing hole on the pressing head, each lateral threaded fixing hole and each lower threaded fixing hole are mounted with a threaded fastener. Thereby the fractured bone fragments on the rear side of the proximal tibia, including those avulsed by the posterior cruciate ligament, are reduced anatomically and fixated rigidly. This locking compression plate not only allows the surgical staff to treat the fractured bone conveniently but also enables the patient to regain their pre-injury activities smoothly.
