Abstract: The present invention provides a latching guide structure arranged inside a door of semiconductor carrier. The latching guide structure comprises an upper latching part, a lower latching part, at least one elastic unit and a driver. Moreover, a first guiding portion of the upper latching part is matched with a second guiding portion of the lower latching part, therefore to define the installation space for the at least one elastic unit. On the other hand, the driver simultaneously actuates an upper actuating unit of the first guiding portion and a lower actuating unit of the second guiding portion to linearly move in reverse direction therebetween. The range of the linear motion of the upper actuating unit and the lower actuating unit represents the compression or extension of the at least one elastic unit, determining to control the open/close status of the upper latching part and the lower latching part.

Abstract: A method for evaluating a risk of a subject getting a specific disease includes steps of: storing a reference database that contains original parameter sets; selecting target alleles from an SNP profile derived from genome sequencing data of a subject; selecting target parameter sets from among the original parameter sets; calculating, for each of the target parameter sets, a race factor based on a global risk allele frequency and a group-specific risk allele frequency included in the target parameter set; calculating a genetic factor based on statistics, global reference allele frequencies, the race factors for the target parameter sets, and numbers of chromosomes in homologous chromosome pairs included in the target parameter sets; calculating a citation factor based on numbers of citation times included in the target parameter sets; and calculating a risk score based on the genetic factor and the citation factor.

Abstract: An isolation structure can be formed between adjacent and/or non-adjacent pixel regions (e.g., between diagonal or cross-road pixel regions), of an image sensor, to reduce and/or prevent optical crosstalk. The isolation structure may include a deep trench isolation (DTI) structure or another type of trench that is partially filled with a material such that an air gap is formed therein. The DTI structure having the air gap formed therein may reduce optical crosstalk between pixel regions. The reduced optical crosstalk may increase spatial resolution of the image sensor, may increase overall sensitivity of the image sensor, may decrease color mixing between pixel regions of the image sensor, and/or may decrease image noise after color correction of images captured using the image sensor.
