The infrared-emitting unit is disposed on the substrate in the laminating direction to cover the light-emitting unit and includes a layered structure having a light-absorbing layer that is aligned with the light-emitting unit in the laminating direction. The light-absorbing layer absorbs light emitted from the light-emitting unit so as to be heated up and to generate infrared radiation.

Abstract: A multi-protocol determining method based on a CAN bus is provided, which includes a mode setting step and two or more modes are set in a controller of the CAN bus. The multi-protocol determining method based on the CAN bus includes a listening step, and the modes are taken turns to read a packet from the communicated node. The multi-protocol determining method based on the CAN bus further includes a confirming step. In the confirming step, if the packet is received successfully by one of the modes, the CAN bus is set to work in the corresponding mode. The controller sends one or more requesting packets, each having a communicating request based on a predetermined protocol, to the communicated node, and if the controller receives a feedback packet from the communicated node successfully, the protocol of the communicated node is identified to be the predetermined protocol.

Abstract: A physiological information collecting system and a transceiver device thereof are configured to collect physiological information from animal bodies. The transceiver device includes a front-end circuit, a follower circuit, a quadrature delay line and an output circuit. The front-end circuit separates a discontinuous signal into an in-phase signal and a quadrature signal. The follower circuit outputs a control voltage and rotates the in-phase signal by a predetermined phase angle to output a follower signal. The quadrature delay line rotates the quadrature signal by a corresponding phase angle according to the control voltage. The output circuit synthesizes the follower signal and the quadrature signal and outputs a data signal by demodulating the discontinuous signal.

Abstract: Disclosures of the present invention describe a non-contact physical etching system, which consists of a main body, a separation member, a hollow chamber, a working gas supplying device, a plasma generating device, a first mask, and a target holder. Particularly, this non-contact physical etching system can be used for executing a direct physical etching process to a target put on the target holder, without treating the target with any photolithography processes in advance. Therefore, since this non-contact physical etching system is able to complete target etching by purely-physical way, it is extrapolated that the non-contact physical etching system can also be used for applying etching process to biomartials, medical substrates (for example, blood glucose test strip), and organic materials.

Abstract: The present invention provides a non-contact physical etching system mainly consisting of a main body, a hollow chamber, a plasma generating device, a first mask, and a target carrying platform. Particularly, this non-contact physical etching system can be used for executing a non-contact etching process to a target put on the target carrying platform, without using any lithography processes. Moreover, when the non-contact etching process is operated, the plasma in the hollow chamber would produce a spontaneous electric field near the surface of the first mask for maintaining the electrical neutrality thereof; therefore, by the action of the spontaneous electric field perpendicular to the surface of the first mask, the charged ions in the plasma would be accelerated and then pass through at least one first pattern formed on the first mask, such that the charged ions would etch or cut the target by way of bombarding the target.
