Abstract: A method of fabricating a contact structure includes the following steps. An opening is formed in a dielectric layer. A conductive material layer is formed within the opening and on the dielectric layer, wherein the conductive material layer includes a bottom section having a first thickness and a top section having a second thickness, the second thickness is greater than the first thickness. A first treatment is performed on the conductive material layer to form a first oxide layer on the bottom section and on the top section of the conductive material layer. A second treatment is performed to remove at least portions of the first oxide layer and at least portions of the conductive material layer, wherein after performing the second treatment, the bottom section and the top section of the conductive material layer have substantially equal thickness.

Abstract: Provided is a method for preventing or treating an inflammatory pulmonary disease or disorder in a subject in need thereof, including administering to the subject an effective amount of FJU-C28 or a salt thereof. Also provided is a use of an a compound of FJU-C28 or a salt thereof in the manufacture of a medicament for preventing or treating an inflammatory pulmonary disease or disorder.

Abstract: An automatic lacing mechanism automatically laces between two shoe pieces, and includes a clamping module, a positioning module, a shoelace-running module, and a shoelace-arranging module. The clamping module is adapted to fixedly clamp shoe pieces. The positioning module is adapted to position the shoe pieces prior to the shoe pieces are fixedly clamped, so that the clamping module could firmly clamp the shoe pieces. The shoelace-running module is adapted to run the shoelace through the lace eyelets on the shoe pieces. The shoelace-arranging module is adapted to change the direction of the shoelace during lacing. The positioning module has two positioning pins, wherein a distance therebetween is adjustable, and therefore the positioning module is suitable for the positioning of footwear having different distances between its lace eyelets, which could make the automatic lacing process smoother.

Abstract: Provided are an automatic spray system for a shoe sole adhesive and a spray method therefor, wherein a spray gun and a coating tool are provided at the end of a mechanical arm, enabled to be located in an adhesive spray path, and respectively arranged at the inner and outer sides of a contour side line of the top face of a shoe sole, and by cooperating with the scan information of the top face of the shoe sole and the position information of the shoe sole read by a computer, the adhesive spray region of the spray gun slightly exceeds the contour side line of the top face of the shoe sole and overlaps with a cementing region at the top face of the shoe sole such that a large part of the adhesive is sprayed onto the cementing region, and a small part of the adhesive exceeding the contour side line is blocked and adsorbed by the coating tool, whereby the technical effects of automatically and accurately cementing the shoe sole, preventing the adhesive from overflowing and staining the shoe sole appearance, incre

Abstract: A method for analyzing shopping pattern includes providing a shopping pattern analyzing system having a cart and at least one commodity-communicating module; determining whether the cart moves or not via a sensing apparatus of the cart; determining whether a motionless time of the cart exceeds a predetermined time or not; determining whether the cart passes through a repeating area or not; and determining whether the user pushes the cart with one hand or two hands via two sensing members of the pushing portion. The present invention enables to analyze the shopping patterns of consumers at the moment the consumers shop to learn which commodities are interested by the consumers so as to perform customized promoting commodity notice for each of the consumers.

Abstract: A packaging method for electric power storage units of an ultracapacitor energy storage device. An electrolyte solution is filled directly during the process of stacking electrodes so as to omit the steps of partially forming and enclosing a refill port. Thus, the fabrication process can be effectively simplified and the production efficiency can be increased. First, an annular glue wall is coated along the border of the top surface of a first electrode. The electrolyte solution is filled on the top surface of the first electrode enclosed by the annular glue wall. A second electrode is then stacked over the first electrode. The annular glue wall is heated to bind the first electrode, the second electrode, and the annular glue wall, thus enclosing the electrolyte solution between the first electrode and the second electrode.
