  • Patent number: 11984465
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a CMOS image sensor having a multiple deep trench isolation (MDTI) structure, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, the image sensor comprises a boundary deep trench isolation (BDTI) structure disposed at boundary regions of a pixel region surrounding a photodiode. The BDTI structure has a ring shape from a top view and two columns surrounding the photodiode with the first depth from a cross-sectional view. A multiple deep trench isolation (MDTI) structure is disposed at inner regions of the pixel region overlying the photodiode, the MDTI structure extending from the back-side of the substrate to a second depth within the substrate smaller than the first depth. The MDTI structure has three columns with the second depth between the two columns of the BDTI structure from the cross-sectional view. The MDTI structure is a continuous integral unit having a ring shape.

  • Patent number: 11984831
    Abstract: A device for controlling a motor is provided. A type of a power component in a first drive circuit of the device is different from a type of a power component in a second drive circuit of the device. A loss of the power component in the first drive circuit is greater than a loss of the power component in the second drive circuit. When determining that a load of the motor is less than a preset load, a controller of the device controls the first drive circuit to stop working and controls the second drive circuit to start to work. When determining that the load of the motor is greater than or equal to the preset load, the controller controls both the first drive circuit and the second drive circuit to start to work.

  • Publication number: 20240150816
    Abstract: The present disclosure in some aspects relates to methods and compositions for processing a biological sample, including methods and compositions for targeted shrinking and expansion of biomolecules in a biological sample for in situ analysis. In some aspects, a polymer is conjugated with a probe or product thereof (e.g., rolling circle amplification products) in the biological sample, and the polymer conjugate may be shrunk or expanded. In some aspects, a size-controllable polymer network is used to shrink or expand the biomolecules in the biological sample. Targeted shrinking can create more space for analyzing more biomolecules at the same time inside a confined space within the sample and expand the space between adjacent probes or products thereof at locations in the sample.

  • Publication number: 20240151845
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and devices for performing wireless sensing operations that can accommodate different Rx frequency responses with minimum PHY changes to increase the performance and reliability of wireless sensing in wireless local area network (WLAN) networks. Rx frequency response information can be obtained as channel state information (CSI) in a loopback test and can further be normalized with the total gain in the receiver chain leading to CSI estimation. Moreover, different Rx frequency responses can be categorized into limited groups with underlying circuit conditions based on their frequency response variations. The different Rx frequency responses can be indicated in subfields of a CSI report transmitted to the sensing initiator for performing sensing operations with the sensing responder.
