  • Patent number: 11983680
    Abstract: An intelligent monitoring system for waste disposal and the method thereof are provided, which include a plurality of operational devices and stages. First, a transportation stage is performed to loading a transport vehicle with a waste so as to transport the waste to a disposal station for further treatment. A camera and a sensor for detecting abnormal conditions are installed any one of the operational devices or installed in the operational path of any one of the operational devices. The camera records the videos of the operational stages, captures the images from the videos and recognizes the images in order to determine whether the abnormal conditions occur in any one of the operational stages. Alternatively, the camera is triggered to capture the images and recognize the images after the abnormal conditions are detected by the sensor in order to determine whether the abnormal conditions actually occur.

    Abstract: A method includes forming isolations extending into a semiconductor substrate, recessing the isolation regions, wherein a semiconductor region between the isolation regions forms a semiconductor fin, forming a first dielectric layer on the isolation regions and the semiconductor fin, forming a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer, planarizing the second dielectric layer and the first dielectric layer, and recessing the first dielectric layer. A portion of the second dielectric layer protrudes higher than remaining portions of the first dielectric layer to form a protruding dielectric fin. A portion of the semiconductor fin protrudes higher than the remaining portions of the first dielectric layer to form a protruding semiconductor fin. A portion of the protruding semiconductor fin is recessed to form a recess, from which an epitaxy semiconductor region is grown. The epitaxy semiconductor region expands laterally to contact a sidewall of the protruding dielectric fin.
