Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device is described. A substrate is provided. A plurality of fins is formed extending from the substrate, the fins including a first group of active fins arranged in an active region, and including an inactive fin having at least a portion in an inactive region, the active fins separated by first trench regions between adjacent of the active regions, the inactive fin separated from its closest active fin by a second trench region, the second trench region having a greater width than that of a trench region of the first trench regions. A dummy fin is formed on the isolation dielectric in the second trench region, the dummy fin disposed between the first group of active fins and the inactive fin. A dummy gate is formed over the fins. The gate isolation structure is disposed between the dummy fin and the inactive fin and separates regions of the dummy gate.

Abstract: A method for customizing an appearance of a merchandise which is suitable for being performed by a computing device in order to customize a customized choice result selected by a user includes a designed image and a merchandise information. The method includes receiving the designed image, receiving the merchandise information, overlappingly displaying the designed image on a virtual merchandise image corresponding to the merchandise information, receiving at least one edit operation for at least one designed element in the designed image, and editing for the designed element in the designed image according to the edit operation and then generating a customizing virtual image. Thereby, the method can be used for customizing an appearance of a merchandise and directly customize the designed image that has been arranged. In addition, a computing device and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for customizing the appearance of the merchandise are also provided.

Abstract: A fish cell expressing a mammalian protein complex having two peptide species. The cell has a first nucleic acid sequence encoding a first peptide species of the mammalian protein complex and a second nucleic acid sequence encoding a second peptide species of the mammalian protein complex. A multiplicity of peptides of the first peptide species and the second peptide species are expressed and at least one peptide of the first peptide species and at least one peptide of the second peptide species assembly to form a functional mammalian protein complex. The invention also discloses a method of making such a cell, and a cultured fish cell infected with a virus or its progeny for producing the virus.

Abstract: Resilient reinforcing structure for contact plate of an electric connector, including a contact plate. A front section of the contact plate is formed with a bent contact section. The middle portion of the contact plate is formed with a resilient arm. A rear end of the contact plate is formed with a connecting end fixedly connected in a seat body. A rear side of the contact plate is provided with a resilient reinforcing arm for resiliently pressing the back side of a portion of the resilient arm which suffers a force. Accordingly, the reinforcing arm provides an enhanced resilient stopping effect for the contact plate and provides sufficient forward resilient pressing force for the contact plate to minimize the deformation thereof when suffering a force. Also, the elastic failure caused by over-deformation of the resilient arm can be effectively avoided.

Abstract: The invention relates to new fish growth hormones, nucleic acids encoding them, and transgenic fish that express them.

Abstract: Extraction structure of metallic antimagnetic cover. The antimagnetic cover is formed by punching to have an upper cover and a shield body. Multiple bridge sections are formed between the upper cover and the shield body to connect the upper cover with the shield body. A vacuum sucker is used to suck the upper cover to overlay the antimagnetic cover on the chip. Then a hand tool is thrust into the extraction hole of the upper cover for extracting the upper cover from the shield body. Accordingly, the upper side of the chip is open, while the periphery of the chip is shielded by the shield body to isolate the chip from electromagnetic wave.

Abstract: The invention relates to new fish growth hormones, nucleic acids encoding them, and transgenic fish that express them.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the finding and construction of fish insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) cDNAs which can be cloned and expressed in cells. This invention also relates to the production of biologically active fish IGF-II polypeptides by a gene expression system using fish IGF-II cDNAs. The fish IGF-II cDNAs have 1977 bp which transcribe into a prepeptide (signal peptide), and B, C, A, D, E domain peptides. The fish mature IGF-II is a single polypeptide containing the NH.sub.2 -B-C-A-D-COOH domains. The mature IGF-II polypeptide is 7 kDa in weight and has 70 amino acids. The fish recombinant IGF-II CDNA can be cloned and expressed in E. coli, yeast, baculovirus, and fish cells.
