  • Publication number: 20120222731
    Abstract: The present disclosure coats an amorphous silicon (Si) layer on a doped Si substrate of a solar cell. Or, a silicon dioxide (SiO2) layer is grown on the doped Si substrate and beneath the amorphous Si layer. A heterojunction interface and a homojunction interface are formed in the solar cell in a one-time diffusion. Thus, a heterojunction solar cell can be easily fabricated and utilities compatible to those used in modern production can still be used for reducing cost.

  • Publication number: 20120156103
    Abstract: An apparatus for generating hydrogen for fuel cells is provided. The apparatus includes a housing, a button, a first separating plate, a solid state reactant, and a separating membrane. The housing has an opening and a reservoir. The button connected to the housing covers the opening. The first separating plate disposed in the housing divides the reservoir into first and second sub-rooms. The opening communicates with the first sub-room and the first sub-room is suitable for storing a liquid reactant. The first separating plate has a through hole opposite to the button. The solid state reactant is disposed in the second sub-room. The separating membrane disposed on the through hole separates the first sub-room from the second sub-room. When the button is pushed, the button damages the separating membrane. Therefore, the liquid reactant flows to the second sub-room and reacts with the solid state reactant to generate hydrogen.

  • Patent number: 8175387
    Abstract: Two images are compared to determine how similar they are. First, a process normalizes each image, then horizontal and vertical byte sequences are derived from each image. A similarity formula is used to obtain a similarity value that represents the similarity between the two images. An approximate pattern matching algorithm is used to determine the error distance between the horizontal byte sequences for the images and to determine the error distance between the vertical byte sequences for the images. The error distances and the length of the byte sequences are used to determine the similarity value. Padding is used to make the aspect ratios the same.

  • Patent number: 8010876
    Abstract: A method of facilitating reliably accessing flash memory is provided. During the write-in process, the present invention utilizes the steps of coding write-in data to generate extra data, and then generating the first error correction code by performing an error-correcting operation on the write-in data and the extra data. Finally, store the N write-in data and the generated K extra data into the data area and the first ECC into the spare area. During read process, the present invention utilizes the steps of reading data from the data area of the target flash-memory page to generate the second ECC, counting with the counter a number of bit differences between the first ECC and the second ECC, and selecting M data from the N write-in data and the K extra data as decoding factors to retrieve the N write-in data. The higher the counter values, the lower the likelihood the corresponding bit is selected to be retrieved.

  • Publication number: 20110193205
    Abstract: A semiconductor device package with an interposer, which serves as an intermediate or bridge circuit of various electrical pathways in the package to electrically connect any two or more electrical contacts, such as any two or more electrical contacts of a substrate and a chip. In particular, the interposer provides electrical pathways for simplifying a circuit layout of the substrate, reducing the number of layers of the substrate, thereby reducing package height and manufacturing cost. Furthermore, the tolerance of the circuit layout can be increased or maintained, while controlling signal interference between adjacent traces and accommodating high density circuit designs. Moreover, the package is suitable for a PoP process, where a profile of top solder balls on the substrate and a package body can be varied according to particular applications, so as to expose at least a portion of each of the top solder balls and electrically connect the package to another device through the exposed, top solder balls.
