  • Patent number: 9171840
    Abstract: An offset transistor and a non-offset transistor each including an oxide semiconductor are formed over one substrate. An oxide semiconductor layer, a gate insulator, and first layer wirings which serve as gate wirings are formed. After that, the offset transistor is covered with a resist and impurities are mixed into the oxide semiconductor layer, so that an n-type oxide semiconductor region is formed. Then, second layer wirings are formed. Through the above steps, the offset transistor and the non-offset transistor (e.g., aligned transistor) can be formed.

  • Patent number: 9170292
    Abstract: An insulation detection circuit suitable for detecting an insulation status between a high voltage power and a low voltage power of a vehicle is disclosed. The circuit includes a first energy storage unit, a second energy storage unit, a constant current unit, and a detection unit. The first energy storage unit is coupled to the high voltage power. The second energy storage unit is coupled between the first energy storage unit and the low voltage power. The constant current unit is coupled between the first energy storage unit and the second energy storage unit. The detection unit is coupled to the second energy storage unit for detecting a current change of the second energy storage unit. When the detection unit detects that current flowing through the second energy storage unit is smaller than a predetermined value, a detection signal representing that the insulation status is abnormal is outputted.

  • Patent number: 9171202
    Abstract: A Mixed Media Reality (MMR) system and associated techniques are disclosed. The MMR system provides mechanisms for forming a mixed media document that includes media of at least two types (e.g., printed paper as a first medium and digital content and/or web link as a second medium). In one particular embodiment, the MMR system includes a content-based retrieval database configured with an index table to represent two-dimensional geometric relationships between objects extracted from a printed document in a way that allows look-up using a text-based index. A ranked set of document, page and location hypotheses can be computed given data from the index table. The techniques effectively transform features detected in an image patch into textual terms (or other searchable features) that represent both the features themselves and the geometric relationship between them. A storage facility can be used to store additional characteristics about each document image patch.
