Abstract:
The present discloses a method for producing a composite copper wire including the steps of passing an aluminum wire through an electroplating device and removing an oxidized film on the surface of the aluminum wire in deoxidized water by a rotary knife; plating a copper coat onto the aluminum wire by sequentially passing through a tank containing a copper phosphate solution and a tank containing a copper sulfate solution to produce a copper plating aluminum wire; preparing a casting furnace comprising a primary furnace and a plurality of secondary furnaces extended from the primary furnace and passing the aluminum wire vertically through the secondary furnaces, such that the copper solutions are attached on the copper plating aluminum wire according to a predetermined thickness to produce a composite copper wire. The aluminum wire is plated and coated with a copper layer for reducing costs and enhancing the electric conductivity of the composite copper wire.
Abstract:
A rope light mainly includes a #-sectioned elongate core enclosed in an outer tube, and a plurality of bulb strings parallelly set in two adjacent channels defined on the elongate core. The elongate core includes two or three spaced conductors pre-embedded therein when the core is formed, and the two selected channels are provided at bottom surfaces with a plurality of radially extended and staggered implant holes for receiving alternate bulbs and holding terminals connecting adjacent bulbs in the bulb string. The #-sectioned core has structural strength and the radially positioned bulbs and holding terminals provide supporting forces to protect the rope light from damaged bulbs or short circuit. The holding terminals may be reflective members or covered with reflective sleeves to reflect light beams emitted by the bulbs and thereby increase the illuminance of the rope light.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for preventing contamination to a low pressure chemical vapor deposition chamber (LPCVD) are provided. The apparatus includes an exhaust-vent device which is connected to a vent outlet and a vacuum pump on a process chamber in parallel with and bypassing a gate valve such that the exhaust-vent remains open during a continuous pumping of the process chamber for wafer loading and unloading. The exhaust-vent device is constructed by two end conduits that have a larger diameter connected by a middle conduit that has a smaller diameter such that during vacuum evacuation, the fluid flow rate in the smaller diameter conduit is at least four times that in the large conduit to effectively prevent the deposition in the small conduit of reaction by-products. The present invention apparatus may further be enhanced by mounting heating tapes on the vacuum conduits and heating the conduits to a temperature of between about 100.degree. C. and about 180.degree. C. to further prevent the deposition of contaminating particles on the interior walls of the conduits.
Abstract:
An overvoltage protection circuit and a portable electronic device having the same are introduced. The overvoltage protection circuit provides overvoltage protection when an input voltage exceeds a rated voltage tolerable by an internal circuit unit in the portable electronic device. A reference voltage and a partial voltage are generated from the input voltage through a voltage limiting unit and voltage dividing module, respectively, and conveyed to a comparing module for comparison. Comparison of the reference voltage and the partial voltage is followed by generation of a switch signal whereby a switch unit determines whether to apply the input voltage to the internal circuit unit. The voltage dividing module sets the maximum rated voltage tolerable by the internal circuit unit and enables the overvoltage protection circuit to give overvoltage protection to the portable electronic device regardless of temperature.

Abstract:
A cable has a conductor keeper, multiple bare conductors, a dielectric tape, a plastic jacket and two copper cylinders. The conductor keeper has multiple grooves. Each bare conductor is mounted in a corresponding groove of the conductor keeper and has a first end and a second end. The first end and second end of the bare conductor protrude out of the conductor keeper respectively so as to form two spaces. The dielectric tape is wrapped around the conductor keeper. The plastic jacket is coated around the dielectric tape. Two copper cylinders are mounted in the spaces of the bare conductors respectively to make the bare conductors surround the copper cylinders and the bare conductors connect to each other in parallel. Therefore, the skin effect is minimized and the bare conductors are efficient in that power consumption and emission of carbon dioxide during copper-smelting are significantly reduced.

Abstract:
A closed-loop controlled apparatus and method for preventing contamination to a low pressure chemical vapor deposition chamber (LPCVD) are provided. The apparatus includes an exhaust vent equipped with a butterfly valve for controlling a flow rate through the vent. The exhaust vent is connected to a vacuum outlet and a vacuum pump on a process chamber in parallel with and bypassing a gate valve such that the exhaust vent can be opened for the continuous pumping of the process chamber during wafer loading and unloading steps. The exhaust vent may be constructed by two end conduits that have a larger diameter which are connected by a middle conduit that has a smaller diameter such that during vacuum evacuation, the fluid flow rate in the small diameter conduit is at least four times that in the large conduit to effectively prevent the deposition and blockage of the small conduit by reaction by-products or contaminating particles. The butterfly valve installed in the exhaust vent provides an indication of the degree of blockage of the vent and enables a process controller to shut-off the process chamber for wet cleaning when a blockage has been detected for preventing chamber contamination.
