Abstract:
A hinge assembly includes a rotatable shaft, a rotatable stand, a fixed stand, a cam and a cam follower. The rotatable stand and the cam follower are non-rotatably connected to the rotatable shaft. The fixed stand and the cam are rotatably connected to the rotatable shaft. The cam is fixed to the fixed stand and contacted with the cam follower. The cam forms a limiting step, the cam follower forms a limiting surface on a periphery to abut against the limiting step. One of the cam and cam follower forms a positioning protrusion, the other one of the cam and cam follower defines a positioning groove to engage with the positioning protrusion.
Abstract:
An exemplary sliding mechanism (100) used for a sliding-type portable electronic device, includes a sliding member (10), a sliding member (20), and a sliding module (30). The main housing defines a curved sliding groove (203) therein. The sliding module includes two movable arms (301, 302), an elastic member (50) positioned between the two movable arms, and two sliding pegs (402, 404). The sliding pegs are partially received in the sliding groove of the main housing. A first end of each movable arm is rotatably attached to the sliding member, and a second end opposite to the first end of each movable arm is fixed to one of the sliding pegs. Two ends of the elastic member are correspondingly fixed to the two movable arms for driving the movable arms to move towards each other.
Abstract:
A system and method for distribution of digital works in a tree-like structure of devices. A hierarchical right may include a first usage right governing a use for the digital work and a first delegation right governing distribution of the digital work to child nodes of the tree-like structure. A second usage right and/or a second delegation right may be generated based on the hierarchical right, the second usage right governing a use for the digital work and the second delegation right governing distribution of the digital work to child nodes of a first child node of the tree-like structure. The second usage right and/or the second delegation right may be assigned to a version of the digital work, and the second usage right and/or the second delegation right and the version of the digital work may be forwarded to the first child node.
Abstract:
A slide mechanism includes a rear cover, a front cover, and two elastic members. The front cover is slidably attached to the rear cover. The elastic members are connected between the rear cover and the front cover. Each elastic member includes two spring coils and an arched elastic arm connecting the spring coils. The arched elastic arm provides an elastic force to make the front cover slide relative to the rear cover. A slide-type terminal device using the slide mechanism is also provided.
Abstract:
A hinge assembly includes a first rotating module and a second rotating module. The first rotating module includes a frame and a pivot mechanism positioned on the frame. The second rotating module includes a supporting body, a shaft, a rotating washer, a stationary washer, a resilient ring, and a nut. A first end of the shaft is fixed on the frame, and the supporting body, the rotating washer, the stationary washer, the resilient ring, and the nut are orderly sleeved on a second end, opposite to that of the first end, of the shaft. The nut fixes the supporting body, the rotating washer, the stationary washer, and the resilient rings to the shaft. The rotating washer and the stationary washer forms at least one protrusion and at least depression for receiving the at least one protrusion respectively. The pivotal shaft is configured to drive the stationary washer to rotate.

Abstract:
The invention provides a method of fabricating a semiconductor device that enhances the amount of stress that is transmitted to the channel region for carrier mobility enhancement. In one embodiment an amorphous region is formed at or near the gate dielectric interface prior to source/drain anneal. In a second embodiment the gate material is amorphous as deposited and processing temperatures are kept below the gate material crystallization temperature until stress enhancement processing has been completed. The amorphous gate material deforms during high temperature anneal and converts from an amorphous to a polycrystalline phase allowing more stress to be transmitted into the channel region. This enhances carrier mobility and improves transistor drive current.
Abstract:
An embedded memory device and method of forming MOS transistors having reduced masking requirements and defects using a single drain sided halo implant in the NMOS FLASH or EEPROM memory regions is discussed. The memory device comprises a memory region and a logic region. Logic transistors within the logic region have halos implanted at an angle underlying the channel from both drain and source region sides. Asymmetric memory cell transistors within the memory region receive a selective halo implant only from the drain side of the channel and not from the source side to form a larger halo on the drain side and leave a higher dopant concentration more deeply into the source side. One method of asymmetrically forming memory cell transistors comprises masking over the memory region; halo implanting a first conductivity dopant in NMOS regions of the logic region in first and second implant directions; masking over the logic region; halo implanting the first conductivity dopant in NMOS regions of the memory region in the second implant direction only, thereby reducing the number of masks required; masking over the memory region; halo implanting a second conductivity dopant in PMOS regions of the logic region in the first and second implant directions.
Abstract:
An exemplary adjustable hinge assembly (10) includes a fixing member (12), a deformable member (14), an adjustable member (18), and a rotary member (20). The deformable member is sleeved or partially sleeved on the fixing member. The deformable member and the fixing member are rotatably connected to the rotary member. The deformable member resists the fixing member and the rotary member. The adjustable member engages with the fixing member. The adjustable member is adjusted to change the maximum static frictional force between the deformable member and the rotary member.
Abstract:
An exemplary sliding mechanism (10) includes a main plate (11), a slide plate (12) slidably connected to the main plate (11), and a linkage module positioned between the main plate (11) and the slide plate (12). The linkage module includes an elastic member (15) and a guiding shaft (17). The elastic member (15) is sleeved on the guiding shaft (17). Two ends of the guiding shaft (17) is rotatably connected to the main plate (11) and the slide plate (12) respectively. The elastic member (15) is configured for driving the slide plate (12) and enabling the slide plate (12) to slide along the main plate (11) after the slide plate (12) is manually moved to a predetermined position with respect to the main plate (11).
