Abstract: A method includes forming a first fin and a second fin protruding from a frontside of a substrate, forming a gate stack over the first and second fins, forming a dielectric feature dividing the gate stack into a first segment engaging the first fin and a second segment engaging the second fin, and growing a first epitaxial feature on the first fin and a second epitaxial feature on the second fin. The dielectric feature is disposed between the first and second epitaxial features. The method also includes performing an etching process on a backside of the substrate to form a backside trench, and forming a backside via in the backside trench. The backside trench exposes the dielectric feature and the first and second epitaxial features. The backside via straddles the dielectric feature and is in electrical connection with the first and second epitaxial features.

Abstract: A system for generating and providing a livestream includes a streaming-end assembly configured to generate a data stream, and a streaming server connected to the streaming-end assembly. In response to receipt of the data stream, the streaming server executing a processing software application processes the data stream to generate a plurality of streaming data chunks, and an index file that indicates an order of the plurality of streaming data chunks. The streaming server publishes the streaming data chunks and the index file to an InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) system, so as to enable a viewer-end device executing a web browser to communicate with the IPFS system to obtain the index file and the streaming data chunks from the IPFS system, and to play the streaming data chunks in the order indicated by the index file.

Abstract: A voice control system including a voice receiving unit, an image capturing unit, a storage unit and a control unit is disclosed. The voice receiving unit receives a voice. The image capturing unit captures a video image stream including several human face images. The storage unit stores the voice and the video image stream. The control unit is electrically connected to the voice receiving unit, the image capturing unit and the storage unit. The control unit detects a feature of a human face from the human face images, defines a mouth motion detection region from the feature of the human face, and generates a control signal according to a variation of the mouth motion detection region and a variation of the voice over time. A voice control method, a computer program product and a computer readable medium are also disclosed.
