Abstract: A sterilization apparatus for a portable electronic device including a cabinet and a carrier is provided. The carrier includes a base slidably disposed on the cabinet, multiple first positioning elements and multiple second positioning elements disposed in parallel on the base, multiple sterilization light sources corresponding to the second positioning elements and multiple pressure sensors disposed in parallel in the base. The base is configured to carry at least one portable electronic device. One second positioning element is disposed between any two adjacent first positioning elements, and any first positioning element and any second positioning element adjacent to each other are separated by a positioning space. The pressure sensors are respectively located in the positioning spaces. One sterilization light source is disposed between any two adjacent pressure sensors, and the pressure sensors are configured to sense a pressure from the portable electronic device.

Abstract: Methods of cutting gate structures, and structures formed, are described. In an embodiment, a structure includes first and second gate structures over an active area, and a gate cut-fill structure. The first and second gate structures extend parallel. The active area includes a source/drain region disposed laterally between the first and second gate structures. The gate cut-fill structure has first and second primary portions and an intermediate portion. The first and second primary portions abut the first and second gate structures, respectively. The intermediate portion extends laterally between the first and second primary portions. First and second widths of the first and second primary portions along longitudinal midlines of the first and second gate structures, respectively, are each greater than a third width of the intermediate portion midway between the first and second gate structures and parallel to the longitudinal midline of the first gate structure.

Abstract: A smart ring includes an antenna chip and a metal ring used as an antenna, and the antenna chip is electrically connected to the metal ring to form an antenna circuit. The metal body of the smart ring is designed as a composition structure of the antenna circuit, that is, the antenna is integrated into the metal ring, the space for accommodating the antennas and the cost for additional physical antennas are saved, and the design flexibility and the competitiveness of the product are improved. Nickel-zinc ferrite is unnecessary, which can reduce the cost. The ring can keep the radiation characteristic of the circular antenna that is not susceptible to the interference from human body. The metal body of the ring is a metal structure, which can fulfill both of strength requirement and texture requirement of the structure, and at the same time has good antenna characteristics.

Abstract: A wireless transmission system comprises an antenna component, a wireless module including a processing unit and a power controlling unit, a tuner connected between the antenna component and the wireless module, and a sensor connected to the wireless module. The tuner is configured to adjust an output bad of the power controlling unit according to a received signal strength indication of the wireless transmission system being greater than a predetermined threshold value, such that multiple different load values are provided for the power controlling unit. The sensor is configured to detect and record a current consumption value corresponding to each load value. In response to the wireless module emitting signals via the antenna component, the processing unit selects the load value corresponding to the lowest of the current consumption values and applies the selected load value to the output load of the power controlling unit.

Abstract: An intelligent pillbox with volume detection includes an open-close structure, a first structure, an air pressure sensing module and a processor. The first structure is movably configured on the open-close structure, and moves in and out of the containing space of the open-close structure to generate a constant volume difference. The air pressure sensing module is configured in the containing space for measuring the multiple air pressure values in the airtight space. The intelligent pillbox with volume detection calculates the medicine volume by the constant volume differences and the air pressure change when the patient takes out the medicine from the medicine box. It not only can avoid the patient taking wrong medicine, but also can detect the number of remaining medicine and remind the patient to replenish the medicine in the medicine box.
