Abstract:
A pad layout of a printed circuit board includes a first and a second pad symmetrically arranged on the PCB for cooperatively receiving either a first surface mounted component (SMC) or a second surface mounted component (SMC). Each of the SMCs includes a first footprint and a second footprint. The first pad has a polygonal shape corresponding to a minimum sized shape that accommodates both a shape of the first footprint of the first SMC and a shape of the first footprint of the second SMC. The second pad has a polygonal shape corresponding to a minimum sized shape that accommodates both a shape of the second footprint of the first SMC and a shape of the second footprint of the second SMC.
Abstract:
The present invention includes a substrate with a glass plate, a plurality of oxide wires on the glass plate and a plurality of flip chip bumps on the oxide wires and an integrated circuit chip with a plurality of bump pads. The substrate and the integrated circuit chip are hot pressed with a predetermined bonding pressure and temperature to bond the bump pads to the flip chip bumps respectively by eutectic bonding.
Abstract:
A foldable frame assembly includes a base frame having a wheel-carrying end for mounting a wheel unit, a handgrip end, and an intermediate portion connected to a prop member so as to lift the base frame to a standing position. A tabletop has a front tabletop end pivoted to the intermediate portion for suspending a machine above the ground surface so as to enable a rear tabletop end to turn from a working position to a folded position. A bracing member has an anchoring end pivotally mounted on the wheel-carrying end, and a slidable end coupled with the rear tabletop end such that when the rear tabletop end is turned from the working position to the folded position, the slidable end is turned to be close to the intermediate portion. A rear locking unit is disposed to guard against movement of the slidable end.
Abstract:
The method for preparing a deep trench uses a dry etching process to form a trench in a silicon substrate, and an etching mixture is then coated on the surface of the silicon substrate and inside the deep trench. A portion of etching mixture is removed from the surface of the silicon substrate and the trench above a predetermined depth from the surface of the substrate, and an etching process is then performed using the etching mixture remaining inside the trench to etch the silicon substrate below the predetermined depth so as to form the deep trench. The etching mixture comprises a conveying solution and an etchant, and the viscosity of the conveying solution is higher than that of the etchant. The conveying solution is spin-on-glass or a photoresist, and the etchant is tetramethylammonium hydroxide, ammonium, or hydrofluoric acid. The volume ratio of the conveying solution and the etchant is preferably between 50:1 and 20:1.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a processor and a memory. The memory has a supplemental information module stored therein. The processor is in communication with the memory, and the processor is adapted to receive a given work of multimedia content and implement the supplemental information module to generate a supplemental information record, which includes supplemental information related to the given work of content. The processor is also adapted to generate an enhanced work of content by embedding the supplemental information record into a bit stream comprising the given work of content.
Abstract:
A semiconductor package includes a die attached to a substrate. Multitudes of conductive structures are conductively connected the die and the substrate. One molding compound encapsulates the die, and thermal interface material is on the molding compound. Next, a heat sink is on the thermal interface material. The mold compound material performs a coefficient of thermal expansion smaller than the heat sink so as to prevent the die or substrate from the damages of internal stresses.
Abstract:
An embedded type connector comprises a connector main body and at least one embedded socket stage. The connector main body is of hollow shape and has a bottom wall, a left wall, a right wall and a rear wall on inner sides thereof. The left wall and the right wall have two vertically extended insertion grooves and two projecting rails, respectively. The bottom wall has a plurality of terminal holes. The embedded socket stage comprises an insertion plate and a socket mounted on the plate and having a plurality of terminal holes. The insertion plate has dents on both sides thereof with separation same as the rails, The embedded socket stage is inserted into the main body with the dent fitted with the projecting rail and slides downward. In this way, the at least one embedded socket stage can be stacked within the main body.
Abstract:
A controlling method for an electronic cigarette with multiple output modes and an electronic cigarette are disclosed. The controlling method comprises receiving a first operation signal for switching between output modes when the electronic cigarette is in a standby state. An output mode is in a memory, the output mode corresponding to the first operation signal and displacing a previous output mode. When the electronic cigarette receives a smoking signal, outputs are controlled according to the output mode stored in the memory.
Abstract:
A projection lens configured to form an image from an image source which is disposed at an object side is provided. The projection lens includes a lens group and an aspheric mirror. The lens group has a first optical axis, and an intermediate image is formed by the lens group from the image source. The aspheric mirror has a second optical axis and an aspheric surface. The lens group is disposed between the object side and the aspheric mirror. The aspheric surface faces the lens group and reflects the intermediate image to form the image at an image side. The first optical axis is not coaxial with the second optical axis, and an offset of the image relative to the first optical axis is larger than or equal to 100%.
