Abstract: The present invention discloses a processor control method including: controlling a processor to execute a first operating system in a first state; when the processor executing the first operating system satisfies a predetermined condition, controlling the processor to switch from the first state to a second state; and controlling the processor to execute a second operating system in the second state, wherein an authority of the first state is higher than an authority of the second state.

Abstract: A stacked integrated circuit (IC) device and a method are disclosed. The stacked IC device includes a first semiconductor element. The first substrate includes a dielectric block in the first substrate; and a plurality of first conductive features formed in first inter-metal dielectric layers over the first substrate. The stacked IC device also includes a second semiconductor element bonded on the first semiconductor element. The second semiconductor element includes a second substrate and a plurality of second conductive features formed in second inter-metal dielectric layers over the second substrate. The stacked IC device also includes a conductive deep-interconnection-plug coupled between the first conductive features and the second conductive features. The conductive deep-interconnection-plug is isolated by dielectric block, the first inter-metal-dielectric layers and the second inter-metal-dielectric layers.

Abstract: The present invention provides a short-circuit probe card, including: a substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface; a plurality of first contacts formed on the upper surface; and a plurality of second contacts formed on the lower surface and connected to the plurality of first contacts. The first contacts and second contacts are all grounded.

Abstract: A patient interface including a headgear and a frame assembly is provided. The headgear is for maintaining the patient interface on a head of a patient. The frame assembly is for connecting to the headgear, and includes a main frame, and two side extension arms respectively extending from two sides of the main frame. When no force is applied to the side extension arm, an upper edge of a cheek contact section of the extension arm is closer to a mask central axis of the patient interface than a lower edge, so that the upper edge of the cheek contact section is away from an apex of a cheekbone of the patient when the patient interface is worn. The patient interface of the present invention better complies to a face by using the two side extension arms that conform to a profile of positions of upper halves of cheekbones of the face, and provides effects of good support and stability as well as dispersed weight and pressure.

Abstract: The present invention provides a respiratory mask comprising a nose cushion assembly. The nose cushion assembly comprises a base body and a buffering piece. The base body has a base intake portion, a base connection portion, and an air routing piece disposed at the inside of the base body and having a partitioning wall and a wall connection piece. The inside of the partitioning wall encloses an air intake zone. The wall connection piece is disposed outside the partitioning wall and connects with the base intake portion. Between the partitioning wall and the base intake portion there is defined an air outtake zone. The air intake zone is approximately at the center of the base intake portion. The buffering piece connects with the base connection portion and encloses a nose containing room, which in turn connects with the inside of the base body.

Abstract: The present invention provides a patient interface including a cushion assembly, a headgear assembly, an elbow assembly and transition ring structure and a headgear secure assembly. The cushion assembly, the elbow assembly and the headgear secure assembly are assembled together by the transition ring structure. The cushion assembly is sealed with a face of a patient when in use. The headgear secure assembly is for connecting the headgear so as to secure the patient interface at the face of the patient when in use. The cushion assembly is provided with a cylindrical wall for delivering an air flow, and the cylindrical wall projects in two opposite directions along an axis of an opening thereof, so as to provide an air flow of a breathing chamber with a flow diversion guiding effect. Thus, the patient interface can be worn and used with better comfort and convenience.

Abstract: A liquid container for gas humidification comprises: a first component provided with a gas inlet; a second component connected with the first component and defining a liquid receiving space; a baffle member; and a gas exhaust structure including a first opening and a second opening communicated with each other; wherein the first component includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion and the baffle member defining a first space, the second portion and the baffle member defining a second space, the first opening of the gas exhaust structure being arranged in the second space; and wherein the first portion and the second portion of the first component respectively include a first guide structure and a second guide structure, the first guide structure being configured to direct gas to the liquid receiving space, and the second guide structure being configured to direct the gas away from the liquid receiving space and into the gas exhaust structure via the first opening.

Abstract: A humidifier for a respiratory apparatus includes a first cover, a second cover engaged with the first cover and a partition plate. The first cover defines an air inlet. The second cover defines a chamber configured to contain at least some amount of water. A heater is configured to heat the water to generate humidified air in the chamber. The partition plate is partly sandwiched between the first cover and the second cover. The partition plate defines an air outlet. Air input via the air inlet is humidified by being mixed with the humidified air and thereafter ejected through the air outlet. The air entering via the air inlet is divided by the partition plate into a plurality of flows having different flow velocities, thereby form a plurality of flow paths.
