  • Patent number: 11937932
    Abstract: An acute kidney injury predicting system and a method thereof are proposed. A processor reads the data to be tested, the detection data, the machine learning algorithm and the risk probability comparison table from a main memory. The processor trains the detection data according to the machine learning algorithm to generate an acute kidney injury prediction model, and inputs the data to be tested into the acute kidney injury prediction model to generate an acute kidney injury characteristic risk probability and a data sequence table. The data sequence table lists the data to be tested in sequence according to a proportion of each of the data to be tested in the acute kidney injury characteristics. The processor selects one of the medical treatment data from the risk probability comparison table according to the acute kidney injury characteristic risk probability.

  • Publication number: 20240047266
    Abstract: A method of forming a protective layer utilized in a silicon remove process includes bonding a first wafer to a second wafer, wherein the first wafer comprises a first silicon substrate with a first device structure disposed thereon and the second wafer comprises a second silicon substrate with a second device structure disposed thereon. After that, a first trim process is performed to thin laterally an edge of the first wafer and an edge of the second device structure. After the first trim process, a protective layer is formed to cover a back side of the second silicon substrate. After forming the protective layer, a silicon remove process is performed to remove only the first silicon substrate.
