  • Patent number: 7846398
    Abstract: A micro reactor having micro flow-guiding blocks includes a first gas flow channel, a second gas flow channel and a catalytic converter. There are several flow-guiding portions disposed on the first gas flow channel. Each flow-guiding portion has micro flow-guiding blocks, flow-impact recesses, and catalytic portions. The function of the micro flow-guiding block is to guide a flowing direction of the flow toward the catalytic portion on the flow-impact recess in order to increase a possibility of contacting and chemical reaction with the catalytic portion. So, guiding the flow direction toward the catalytic portion can increase the overall reaction efficiency. More turbulence is generated to obtain a better mixing. Plus, its structure is simple.

  • Patent number: 7838175
    Abstract: A wafer lithographic shielding mask for fabricating a multi-project wafer (MPW) and a wafer fabrication method using the same are disclosed. The mask including a light shielding layer and at least one transparent region is used to select the layout patterns of designated chips on an MPW reticle to be exposed onto the photoresist layer on the surface of the wafer. The lithography method of fabricating MPW mainly involves disposing a wafer lithographic shielding mask for selecting the exposure regions on the MPW reticle on the light transmission path from a lithographic light source to a wafer, e.g., between the MPW reticle and the lithographic light source or between the MPW reticle and the wafer, so as to prevent some undesired chips from being fabricated on the wafer using the MPW reticle, thereby decreasing the wafer production cost.

  • Publication number: 20100127047
    Abstract: A method of inhibiting a formation of palladium-nickel-tin (Pd—Ni—Sn) intermetallic in solder joints is described as follows. Firstly, a solder alloy is provided. Then, at least one of a trace of copper and a trace of zinc is doped into the solder alloy. Afterward, the solder alloy is disposed on the Pd-bearing surface finish, such as a Pd/Ni bi-layer or a Au/Pd/Ni tri-layer. Next, the solder alloy is soldered with the surface finish as solder joints. During the soldering, the Cu and Zn will incorporate into the soldering reaction, forming copper-palladium-nickel-tin intermetallic and zinc-palladium-nickel-tin intermetallic, replacing the Pd—Ni—Sn respectively. Consequently, the addition of Cu and/or Zn into solders will inhibit the undesirable Pd—Ni—Sn intermetallic to form in the solder joints.

  • Publication number: 20090177108
    Abstract: A method for monitoring the depth of anesthesia is provided for detecting the conscious state of one being anesthetized in the recovery phase or induction phase of anesthesia course in order to facilitate an anesthesiologist to predict exactly the dosage of an anesthetic required. At first, an original electroencephalogram (EEG) is taken from one being tested. Then, the original electroencephalogram is analyzed by approximate entropy to obtain its approximate entropy value. Next, the approximate entropy value is multiplied by 1000/17, and the corrected value is assumed as the predicted value of depth of anesthesia. The predicted value of depth of anesthesia represents degree of the conscious state or the depth of anesthesia for the one being tested. The higher the predicted depth of anesthesia value, the more conscious the one being tested is, i.e., in a shallower depth of anesthesia. On the other hand, the lower the predicted depth of anesthesia value, the less conscious the one being tested is, i.e.
