An image sensor includes a plurality of pixels, a plurality of sense circuits, and a count circuit. Each sense circuit is configured to read out electrical signals from at least one pixel associated with the sense circuit in order to generate data representing whether or not photons have been received by the sense circuit. The count circuit is in communication with a sense circuit selected from the plurality of sense circuits. The count circuit is configured to provide integration results for the pixels associated with the sense circuits based on the data received from the sense circuits.

A hinge unit includes a coupler plate formed with first and second coupler holes; first and second axles extending rotatably through the coupler holes in the coupler plate and formed with first and second engaging grooves corresponding to each other; a driving slide block disposed between the first and second axles, having first and second contact surfaces formed with first and second engagement ribs in engagement with the first and the second engaging grooves such that the slide block is movable along axes of the axles; and a positioning plate formed with first and second position holes permitting extension of the first and second axles, thereby restricting a movable range of the slide block between the coupler plate and the positioning plate. Movement of the slide block along the axes of the axles results in simultaneous rotation of the axles in directions opposite to each other.

A housing (1) for a passively cooled computer (2), which is to be accommodated in the housing, the housing (1) including:a housing cover (3) and a housing floor (4), whereby at least the housing cover (3) includes a passive cooling member (3a), andan insulator member (5) arranged between the housing cover (3) and the housing floor (4) to prevent a thermal flow between the housing cover (3) and the housing floor (4).

During a standstill, a prescribed rotation speed N3, which is lower than a prescribed rotation speed N2 used during a travel at a low vehicle speed, is set as a minimum rotation speed Nemin (S410), and when a demand for an idle operation has been made (S490), the minimum rotation speed Nemin is set as a target rotation speed Ne* and the value 0 is set as a target torque Te* (S500), whereby an engine is controlled. As a result of this, it is possible to improve the fuel consumption of a vehicle when the engine is operated at idle at standstill compared to a case where the engine is operated at idle at the minimum rotation speed Nemin for which the prescribed rotation speed N2 is set regardless of whether or not the vehicle is at a standstill.

A foot assembly is adapted to be removably attached to the elbow of a sled-type leg of a piece of furniture that is adapted to be supported upon a surface. The furniture-foot assembly includes a body defining a hollow interior adapted to removably receive the elbow of the leg and a bottom exterior portion. A glide is adapted to be removably mounted to the bottom exterior portion of the body and supported upon the surface for gliding movement of the furniture-foot assembly relative to the surface.

Wiper lever (10) with a driven wiper arm (12) and a wiper blade (16) linked to it for cleaning windows, particularly those of motor vehicles, which is provided with a band-like, long-stretched-out, elastic supporting element (30), which features, on its lower band surface facing the window, a long-stretched-out, rubber elastic wiper strip (24) that can be applied to it, on whose upper band surface (29), particularly in the longitudinal middle area of the supporting element (30), a coupling part (32) is situated and wind deflector strip partial sections (52) extending to the ends of the supporting element are arranged on both sides of the coupling part (32). An especially harmonic transition between the wiper blade (16) and the wiper arm (12) is achieved in the area of the joint (46, 47) connecting these two wiper lever parts if the wiper lever (10) is provided with a cap (60) to cover the connection area between the wiper blade (16) and the wiper arm (12).

The present invention provides a linear motor, wherein, a coil is fastened on a mass block that is suspended inside a housing, a first magnet and a second magnet that have opposite magnetic poles are symmetrically disposed at an upper side and at a lower side relative to the coil in the middle and positioned parallel to the centric plane of the coil, by arranging an upper magnetic steel and a lower magnetic steel at an upper side and at a lower side relative to the mass block in the middle and parallel to the mass block. In the linear motor of the present invention, the design route that utilizes coil motion to drive mass block motion is different from the traditional route that utilizes magnet motion to drive mass block motion. When the coil moves to either of the two lateral sides of the housing, both the first magnet and the second magnet simultaneously generate forces along a vertical direction of the housing, and as the first magnet and the second magnet having opposite magnetic poles are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the coil, the electromagnetic forces generated by the two magnets are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, thus being counterbalanced with each other in the vertical direction, so as to ensure that the coil only moves back and forth in a horizontal direction, without generating vibration in a vertical direction, therefore, no noise related to vertical vibration is caused.

In a method of forming an asymmetric recess, an asymmetric recessed gate structure filling the asymmetric recess, a method of forming the asymmetric recessed gate structure, a semiconductor device having the asymmetric recessed gate structure and a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device, a semiconductor substrate is etched to form a first sub-recess having a first central axis. A second sub-recess is formed under the first sub-recess. The second sub-recess is in communication with the first sub-recess. The second sub-recess has a second central axis substantially parallel with the first central axis. The second central axis is spaced apart from the first central axis.
