Abstract: A method for forecasting a WIP (work in process) output schedule and a computer program product thereof are provided. A plurality of sets of historical WIP data regarding a product generated in respective historical periods are first collected, in which the product has a maximum historical production cycle. Thereafter, a predetermined time is used to divide the maximum historical production cycle into intervals. Then, the quantities of historical WIPs appearing in the respective intervals are computed in accordance with output times of the historical WIPs recorded in each of the sets of historical WIP data, thereby obtaining output probability density data series. If the number of the historical periods is greater than or equal to a minimum model-building number, a predicted output probability density data series of a next period following the historical periods is conjectured by using the output probability density data series in accordance with a prediction algorithm.

Abstract: A 2D/3D dual-mode image sensing circuitry is composed of a photodiode, an active sensing unit, and a pull-down unit. The photodiode is to detect and convert optical signals into electronic signals. The active sensing unit is electrically connected with one end of the photodiode for receiving electronic signals outputted by the photodiode, having an output. The pull-down unit is electrically connected with the output, providing a pull-down path. The pull-down unit has a pull-down control terminal, by which the pull-down unit can be externally controllably switched on/off, for sinking the potential or not to the aforesaid end of the photodiode. In this way, as the 2D mode is switched on, the 3D mode is switched off; on the other hand, as the 3D mode is switched on, the 2D mode is switched off.

Abstract: A magnetization apparatus includes a power supply unit, an energy storage element and a voltage clamp unit. The power supply unit generates at least one exciting signal to excite at least a coil of a magnetic field generating apparatus. The voltage clamp unit has a clamping voltage. The voltage level of the clamp voltage is higher than the voltage level of the exciting signal, and lower than the rated voltage of the energy storage element. When the exciting signal turns to a low voltage level, the voltage clamp unit controls the voltage level of the energy storage element to be less than or equal to the voltage level of the clamp voltage. This configuration with the voltage clamp unit can extend the lifetime of the energy storage element and reduce the energy loss to enhance the efficiency.
