    摘要: A type, size, and location of a crystal defect of an epitaxial layer of a semiconductor wafer containing silicon carbide are detected from a PL image by crystal defect inspection equipment. Detected crystal defects include a triangular polymorph stacking fault generated in the epitaxial layer during epitaxial growth and high-density BPDs extending from the stacking fault and present bundled between the stacking fault and a perfect crystal. Next, a chip region free of the triangular polymorph stacking fault and free of the high-density BPD in a specified area that is in the termination region and is located closer to a chip center than is a specified position is identified as a conforming product. A semiconductor chip set as a conforming product may contain high-density BPDs outside the specified area.

    摘要: A digital-analog converter includes a digital-analog converter circuit connected to a first mirror current circuit that receives an additional current obtained by adding a current from a voltage-current converter circuit for generating a current according to a received voltage signal to a shift current from a shift current source and a second mirror current circuit that receives the shift current. The digital-analog converter circuit includes current switching circuits. Each current switching circuit includes a first mirror current source that provides a mirror current from one of the first and the second mirror current circuit, a second mirror current source that provides a mirror current from the other, and a switch circuit that determines whether the first and the second mirror current source of each current switching circuit contribute to a value of an analog signal at an D/A output in response to a decoded signal value.

    摘要: A coupling has a housing and a returning unit and a turbo fan coaxially disposed within the housing. The housing has a first shell and a second shell coaxially connected to the first shell. The first shell has multiple driving ribs therein. Each driving rib has a guiding plate, a driving plate connected to the guiding plate, and an included angle defined between the driving plate and the guiding plate of the driving rib. The second shell has multiple divergent ribs therein. Fluid introduced into the housing is guided to the multiple driving ribs of the first shell via the divergent ribs of the second shell. The fluid pushes the driving plate of each driving rib and facilitates the housing to spin and drive a driven device. Therefore, the coupling of the present invention can save energy consumption for driving a driven device.

    摘要: A mobile imaging unit includes a 360-degree camera disposed on a golf cart, a motorized-zoom-lens-equipped camera on a motorized camera platform, a microphone, a GPS receiver, and a direction detector of a lens. The mobile imaging unit determines an imaging target area of the motorized-zoom-lens-equipped camera by using a current position and golf course map information, drives the motorized camera platform, and stores video data captured in a magnified state, with the video data being accompanied by time information and area identification information. A digest creating device selects, as video data to be subjected to image analysis and extraction of a highlight scene, either video data from the 360-degree camera or video data from the motorized-zoom-lens-equipped camera in accordance with the area identification information accompanying the stored video data.
