  • Patent number: 8589115
    Abstract: A system and a method for estimating a torque and a rotational speed of a motor are disclosed. The system includes a sound receiving device, a feature extraction device, and an artificial neural network module. In the method, at first, a plurality of training data are provided, wherein the training data includes a plurality of history sound feature values of the motor and history torque values or history rotation values corresponding thereto. Thereafter, an artificial neural network stored in the artificial neural network module is trained by the history data to obtain a motor model of the motor. Then, a motor sound signal made by the motor in a working state is received. Thereafter, sound feature values of the motor sound signal are extracted. Thereafter, the rotational speed value and the torque value are computed by the motor model in accordance with the at least one sound feature value.

  • Patent number: 7955545
    Abstract: A nano-imprinting process is described, comprising: providing a substrate including an imprinting material layer covering a surface of the substrate; providing a mold including protruding features set on a surface of the mold covered with an anti-adhesion layer; forming a transferring material layer on a top surface of each protruding feature; embedding the transferring material layer into a first portion of the imprinting material layer; removing the mold and separating the mold and the transferring material layer simultaneously to transfer the transferring material layer into the first portion of the imprinting material layer and to expose a second portion of the imprinting material layer; using the transferring material layer as a mask to remove the second portion of the imprinting material layer and a portion of the substrate; and removing the first portion of the imprinting material layer and the transferring material layer.

  • Publication number: 20080217819
    Abstract: A micro/nano-pattern film contact transfer process is described, comprising: providing a mold, wherein an imprinting pattern is set in a first surface of the mold; forming a release layer on the first surface of the mold and a transfer material layer on the release layer; providing a substrate; placing the mold on a first surface of the substrate, wherein the first surface of the mold is opposite to the first surface of the substrate; applying a pre-pressed force on the substrate from a second surface opposite to the first surface of the substrate; providing a heating source to heat the transfer material layer to produce an adhesion effect between a portion of the transfer material layer contacting with the first surface of the substrate and the substrate; and removing the mold, wherein the contacting portion of the transfer material layer is transferred onto the first surface of the substrate.
