Abstract: A system includes a client device, a caregiver device and a server. The server transmits an address of a record for a care session to a digital map provider that converts the address into caregiving coordinates and transmits the caregiving coordinates. The caregiver device obtains interface data from the server and displays an interface based on the interface data for allowing a caregiver to sign in with respect to the care session. When a button of the interface is operated, the server enables a geolocation service provider to request position data from the caregiver device, and to transmit sign-in coordinates to the server with reference to the position data. The client device displays the caregiving coordinates together with the sign-in coordinates.

Abstract: An adjustable cervical collar includes a lower support member, an upper support member and two adjusting assemblies. The lower support member includes two axial connecting portions and two installation portions. The upper support member includes two assembly portions respectively pivotally connected to the axial connecting portions and a mandible support portion away from the two assembly portions. The adjusting assemblies are respectively installed at the installation portions, and each includes a first gear, a second gear engaged with the first gear, and a linking member. When the adjustable cervical collar is put to application, the first gear may drive a second section extended from the linking member to push the upper support member upwards through the second gear, thereby causing the mandible support portion to come into contact with and steadily support a mandible of a patient as the upper support member rotates.

Abstract: An adjustable bicycle frame for change in the riding modes is provided with a bottom bracket secured to pedals; a seat tube extending upward out of the bottom bracket; a chain stay extending rearward out of the bottom bracket and the seat tube; a rear wheel rotatably secured to the chain stay and contacting the ground; a head tube with a stem pivotably secured thereto; a fork pivotably secured to the head tube and extending downward; a front wheel rotatably secured to the fork stay and contacting the ground; a rearward inclined telescopic tubing including first and second tubes. After changing length of the telescopic tubing, a length between the front wheel and the rear wheel is changed, an inclined angle of the seat tube is changed, and an inclined angle of the head tube is changed coherently, thereby implementing a racing mode or a slow, urban riding mode.

Abstract: A semiconductor device and method of formation are provided. A semiconductor device includes a first material comprising STI adjacent a fin. The STI is substantially uniform, such that a top surface of the STI has few to no defects and little to no concavity. To form the STI, the first material is implanted with a dopant, which forms an etch stop layer, such that the first material height is reduced by etching rather than CMP. Etching results in a better uniformity of the first material than CMP. STI that is substantially uniform comprises a better current barrier between adjacent fins than a device that comprises STI that is not substantially uniform.
