  • Patent number: 11923429
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and method for forming the semiconductor device are provided. In some embodiments, a semiconductor substrate comprises a device region. An isolation structure extends laterally in a closed path to demarcate the device region. A first source/drain region and a second source/drain region are in the device region and laterally spaced. A sidewall of the first source/drain region directly contacts the isolation structure at a first isolation structure sidewall, and remaining sidewalls of the first source/drain region are spaced from the isolation structure. A selectively-conductive channel is in the device region, and extends laterally from the first source/drain region to the second source/drain region. A plate comprises a central portion and a first peripheral portion. The central portion overlies the selectively-conductive channel, and the first peripheral portion protrudes from the central portion towards the first isolation structure sidewall.

  • Patent number: 10220981
    Abstract: A drinking water bucket comprises at least one base, at least one base plate and at least one bucket structure. The bucket structure comprises a bucket, a cover body and a pipe. The bucket comprises an accommodating space, a convex portion and an opening. The cover body comprises a through hole and a water outlet hole. The pipe penetrates through the through hole, and two ends of the pipe are respectively positioned in the accommodating space and in the air outside the cover body, such that when a user switches on the drinking water bucket and water in the bucket flows into a teacup, the sound caused by air flowing back to bubbles in water can be eliminated, and the water in the bucket can be allowed to flow evenly into the teacup.

  • Publication number: 20150302340
    Abstract: Methods and systems for recommending crowdsourcing tasks. A path traversed by a crowdworker, from one or more crowdworkers, is predicted, based on at least one of a historical data associated with the crowdworker or an input provided received from the crowdworker. The path traversed by the crowdworker comprises a first set of spatiotemporal values associated with the location of the crowdworker. One or more task attributes associated with the one or more crowdsourcing tasks are determined. The one or more task attributes comprise at least one of a second set of spatiotemporal values associated with the one or more crowdsourcing tasks, or rewards associated with the one or more crowdsourcing tasks. A set of crowdsourcing tasks is recommended based on at least the predicted path followed by each of the one or more crowdworkers and the one or more tasks attributes associated with the one or more crowdsourcing tasks.
