Abstract: A photo resist layer is used to protect a dielectric layer and conductive elements embedded in the dielectric layer when patterning an etch stop layer underlying the dielectric layer. The photo resist layer may further be used to etch another dielectric layer underlying the etch stop layer, where etching the next dielectric layer exposes a contact, such as a gate contact. The bottom layer can be used to protect the conductive elements embedded in the dielectric layer from a wet etchant used to etch the etch stop layer.

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.

Abstract: A disaster monitoring and pre-warning system comprises a disaster informing system, peer-to-peer wireless communication devices, a monitoring host and a pre-warning message issuing host. The disaster informing system transfers at least one first disaster information. The peer-to-peer wireless communication devices sense at least one disaster event to generate at least one second disaster information. The at least one second disaster information is transferred by a peer-to-peer technology. The monitoring host receives the at least one first disaster information and the at least one second disaster information to generate a first pre-warning information. The pre-warning message issuing host issues the first pre-warning information.

Abstract: A buffer solution is made based on electrode features of a biological testing device. An interference agent for stabilizing measurement signals from the biological testing sheet is prepared. An enzyme is prepared based on parameters of the biological testing device and the electrode properties. An optimum electrode potential is determined and then the properties of the electrodes are reevaluated using potassium ferricyanide and potassium ferrocyanide. Enzyme from an incomplete biological testing sheet is retained, which is dried, covered and cut. The number of sets is determined and the steps repeated to find optimal ingredients and corresponding testing sheets. Sampling and testing of the biological testing sheets using different parameter codes is performed until all parameter codes are tested to determine process completion. Thus, biological testing sheets matching different biological testing devices from different manufactures or biological testing devices are provided.

Abstract: A system for clock and data recovery (“CDR”) includes a clock generator, a half-rate phase detector for receiving the input data, an encoder, a phase selector outputting recovered clock, a confidence counter, and a multiplexer outputting recovered data. The clock generator generates an 8-phase clock signal at half a rate of the transmitted serial data. The phase detector samples input data at four times the standard sampling rate, takes the oversampled data and detects phase transitions therein, i.e., phase lead and lag. The encoder encodes the phase transition data. The confidence counter receives the phase transition data and generates a signal representing the accumulated net effect of the phase transitions. The phase selector receives the confidence counter signal and the 8-phase clock from the clock generator, and determines the optimum phase for data sampling.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a biosensor requiring no code card, which can be substantially a glucose monitor having a top key, a bottom key and a confirmation key arranged thereon for using the aforesaid top and bottom keys to control and select a set of English alphabet or numeral in a circulating manner and thereafter confirming and inputting a specific series of alphabets or numerals by pressing the confirmation key, whereas the specific series of alphabets or numerals is corresponding to a set of parameters stored in a parameter referencing unit arranged inside the glucose monitor and can be find on the package of a test strip. As soon as the specific series of alphabets or numerals is inputted into the glucose monitor, the set of parameter corresponding thereto is send to a micro processing unit for using the same to perform a setting and calibration operation so as to enhancing the accuracy of the glucose monitor.
