RESISTOR TRIMMING DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A resistor trimming device comprising a resistor trimming unit is provided, which divides a single one adjustable resistor string into a plurality of adjustable resistor string groups, so that a resistance of the parallel resistor faced by a switch can be effectively reduced, and a design of the on-resistance and off-resistance of the switch can comply with a general design rule. In addition, the resistor trimming device provided further comprises a decoder. When trimming the overall resistance of an electronic device, a user can directly input a binary code or an original thermometer code used in the adjustable resistor string being not grouped, without knowing an encoding manner, and then, the decoder generates a trimming thermometer code and a group code to control a main switch and switches in the multiple adjustable resistor string groups being the grouped from the adjustable resistor string.

Cavity with silicon on insulator MEMS pressure sensing device with an extended shallow cross-shaped cavity
An improved microelectromechanical system (MEMS) pressure sensing device has an extended shallow polygon cavity on a top side of a silicon supporting substrate. A buried silicon dioxide layer is formed between the top side of the supporting substrate and a bottom side of a device layer. Piezoresistors and bond pads are formed and located on a top side of the device layer and produce measureable voltage changes responsive to a fluid pressure applied to the device layer. The purpose of the extend shallow polygon cavity is to improve the sensitivity or increase the span while keep a low pressure nonlinearity during shrinking the die size of the MEMS pressure sensing device die with corner metal bond pads having a keep-out distance to prevent a wire bonder from breaking the thin diaphragm.

Pressure based, mechanical amperage control engine for an electronic device
The pressure based control engine directs the amount of amperage that is applied to an electric device, such as a flashlight. The control engine provides a first piston body and a second piston body that conduct electricity. A piston divider constructed from a quantum tunneling material separates the first piston body and the second piston body. Compression of the piston divider by the first piston body and the second piston causes the piston divider to conduct electricity. As the pressure increases, the current that can flow through the piston divider also increases. Similarly, as the pressure decreases, the current that can flow through the piston divider decreases.
