  • Patent number: 11830986
    Abstract: A quantum battery manufacturing method includes: providing a p-type semiconductor substrate including a first conductive substrate and a p-type semiconductor layer disposed on one surface of the first conductive substrate; providing an n-type semiconductor substrate including a second conductive substrate and an n-type semiconductor layer disposed on one surface of the second conductive substrate; and forming an electricity storage layer between the p-type semiconductor substrate and the n-type semiconductor substrate, and attaching two sides of the electricity storage layer respectively to the p-type semiconductor layer and the n-type semiconductor layer to form a quantum battery. The electricity storage layer is formed by heating a thermoplastic polymer to soften and become a liquid, mixing the liquid with energized core-shell particles, and coating a substrate with the mixture. Core-shell particles are disposed on a conductive substrate and irradiated with ultraviolet rays for energization.

  • Publication number: 20100166214
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus at least including an audio-receiving circuit is provided. The audio-receiving circuit includes an audio receiver and a processor. The audio receiver receives a sound wave from a sound source, and generates a first audio signal containing a plurality of noises to the processor. The processor performs a signal processing of time reversal to the first audio signal to restore a sound sent at an original sound source, so as to filter noises in the first audio signal and output a second audio signal.
