Abstract: In some implementations, a device may receive spectroscopic data associated with a dynamic process. The device may generate a principal component analysis (PCA) model based on a first block of spectra from the spectroscopic data. The device may project a second block of spectra from the spectroscopic data to the PCA model generated based on the first block of spectra. The device may determine a value of a metric associated with the second block based on projecting the second block of spectra to the PCA model. The device may determine whether the dynamic process has reached an end point based on the value of the metric associated with the second block.

Abstract: DSM-LGA using substrates with different surface finish options include copper posts for electrical communication. The copper posts include a height-to-width ratio that cannot be achieved in traditional copper posts, as well as a taper ratio that forms a more rectangular cross section as opposed to traditional copper posts. Additionally, by using copper, the copper posts include a relatively high thermal conductivity (as compared to solder), thus allowing the copper posts to dissipate thermal energy generated by integrated circuits and other processors. Copper posts can take the form of a single, cylindrical post. Alternatively, copper posts can be merged to form a variety of copper structures used for various applications, including I/O, grounding/isolation, and substrate support.

Abstract: An assembly for a seat includes a pivot hub defining multiple rotation axes, and a displacing module attached to the pivot hub. Extendable legs are rotatably coupled to the pivot hub and comprise locking devices movable between an unlocked position, in which the legs, when extended, are enabled to retract, and a locked position, in which the legs, when extended, are prevented from retracting. The legs are rotatable between an intermediate position and a deployed position. When the legs are extended, and when in the intermediate position, the displacing module engages the locking devices to move the locking devices from the locked position to the unlocked position. When the legs are extended, rotating the legs from the intermediate position to the deployed position brings the displacing module out of contact with the locking devices.

The base is disposed on the substrate and connected to the top cover to cover the optical detection module. The base has a second block structure partly overlapped with the lateral wall to form a guiding channel. The perforated plate is disposed between the lateral wall and the second block structure to prevent an insect from moving into the top cover through the guiding channel.

Abstract: Disclosed are a metal thin film precursor composition, a method of forming a thin film using the metal thin film precursor composition, and a semiconductor substrate fabricated using the method. The metal thin film precursor composition includes a metal thin film precursor compound and a growth regulator including a predetermined terminal group and structure. In a thin film deposition process, by using the metal thin film precursor composition, side reactions may be suppressed and thin film growth rate may be controlled appropriately. Since process by-products in a thin film are removed, even when the thin film is formed on a substrate having a complicated structure, step coverage and the thickness uniformity and resistivity characteristics of the thin film may be greatly improved. In addition, corrosion or deterioration may be prevented, and the crystallinity of the thin film may be improved, thereby improving the electrical properties of the thin film.

Abstract: The present application discloses a double-layer stacked CMOS image sensor, photo diode and transfer gate transistor of a pixel cell are formed on the first substrate sequentially along a longitudinal direction, and the other pixel transistors of the pixel cell are formed on the second substrate. The first substrate and the second substrate are packaged separately, and the second substrate is stacked on the top side of the first substrate instead of being in juxtaposition. Since the photo diode and the pixel transistors other than the transfer gate transistor of the pixel cell are located on two separate substrates respectively, the area of a photo diode region may be increased significantly, thereby greatly increasing full well capacitance of the image sensor and increasing a dynamic range, and reduce a dark current and image noise significantly, thereby improving the dark line noise and full well capacitance simultaneously.
