Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a first gate structure, a second gate structure coupled to the first gate structure, a source region, a first drain region, and a second drain region. The source region is surrounded by the first gate structure and the second gate structure. The first drain region is separated from the source region by the first gate structure. The second drain region is separated from the source region by the second gat structure. A shape of the first drain region and a shape of the second drain region are different from each other from a plan view.

Abstract: A composition includes a thermoplastic polymer and a polyrotaxane. The polyrotaxane includes a plurality of cyclic molecules and a chain polymer passing through the plurality of the cyclic molecules in a skewering manner, at least a part of the hydroxyl groups of the plurality of cyclic molecules being substituted with a hydrophobic group. A group that enhances miscibility of the polyrotaxane to the thermoplastic polymeris bound to at least a part of the hydrophobic groups of each of the plurality of cyclic molecules.

Abstract: A multimedia file sharing method and a system thereof are provided herein, which applies the virtual file technology to achieve near real time multimedia sharing and transparent receiving functions. In the method, an interface software system is established through a network to speed up playing of multimedia files by different multimedia players. The interface software provides a speeding up and near real time multimedia playing effect for sharing multimedia through the network, by which for different transmissions of multimedia files or for playing multimedia files with different formats, the multimedia player is not necessary to modify or add the software of the players to meet the streaming protocols or container. In addition, the interface software is capable of providing the effect of playing the multimedia files by the players with satisfied quality and near real time performance.

Abstract: Distributed network-based data backup, recovery and deletion methods and a distributed network system thereof are provided. The methods include respectively establishing peer-to-peer connections between a host storage server and a plurality of peer storage servers, dividing original data into a plurality of data segments, generating a plurality of data segment copies corresponding to the data segments according to a minimum survival rate and the number of peer storage servers. The methods also include transmitting the data segment copies to the peer storage servers, wherein the number of data segment copies for each of the data segments is equal to a redundancy, and the redundancy is smaller than the number of the peer storage servers, and the data segment copies distributed to any one of the peer storage servers correspond to a portion of all the data segments. Accordingly, the methods can effectively and safely backup the original data.

Abstract: A generic service management system is disclosed. The generic service management system comprises a registration scheme; a search-and-execution scheme; and a detection-and-replacement scheme, used for detecting and replacing the invalid service provider, such as a semiconductor equipment manager. The present invention provides a GEV (Generic Evaluator) having the capabilities of error-detecting and data backup, and further combines Jini infrastructure and the programming technology of design by contract. The GEV archives the credit values of all the service providers for letting a client (such as a factory manager) to select a service provider having a higher credit value.
