  • 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: 20160050761
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a substrate structure is provided. An insulation substrate having an upper surface is provided. A portion of the upper surface of the insulation substrate is irradiated by a first laser beam so as to form a first intaglio pattern. The first laser beam is IR laser beam or fiber laser beam. The first intaglio pattern has a modification surface. A first metal layer is formed on the upper surface of the insulation substrate, and covers the upper surface of the insulation layer and the modification surface of the first intaglio pattern, and fills up the first intaglio pattern. A grinding process is performed on the first metal layer so as to expose the upper surface of the insulation substrate and define a first patterned circuit layer. A first upper surface of the first patterned circuit layer is aligned with the upper surface of the insulation substrate.

  • Publication number: 20110204021
    Abstract: A method of making fine-pitch circuit lines includes steps of preparing an insulative substrate, disposing a conductive metal layer on the insulative substrate, disposing on a whole or a part of a top surface of the conductive metal layer a hetero layer having an etching rate smaller than that of the conductive metal layer, forming a patterned mask of circuit lines on the hetero layer, wet etching the hetero layer and the conductive metal layer, and removing the patterned mask and the hetero layer so as to form fin-pitch circuit lines having a high etching factor on the insulative substrate.

  • Publication number: 20110151273
    Abstract: A laminate for use in the production of a printed circuit board includes a main layer and a face layer made of a material different from the material that the main layer is made of. The main layer is made of a good electrically conductive metal and has a top surface. The face layer is disposed on the top surface of the main layer and made of a material having an etching rate substantially smaller than that of the material that the main layer is made of. The laminate can exhibit a high etching factor even if the laminate is etched by a conventional etchant.

  • Patent number: 6368259
    Abstract: A damping assembly has a bracket, a damping wheel, a torsion spring, at least one pair of rotating wheels and a strap. The damping wheel is rotatably mounted in the bracket. The torsion spring is arranged between the bracket and the damping wheel to provide a torsion force to the damping wheel. A cord wound around each rotating wheel of one pair of the rotating wheels. The strap is connected between damping wheel and the secondary axle with the rotating wheels attached to the cords. By such an arrangement, the damping assembly can be used with a roller exerciser or a chest exerciser with little additional structure. The use of the damping assembly becomes more versatile. The cost for manufacturing different types of exercisers is decreased.
