  • Patent number: 11757677
    Abstract: A binding and configuration method for a bus adapter and a channel, a mapping manager, and a connection system are provided. The binding and configuration method for the bus adapter and the channel includes: configuring a mapping table of a mapping manager; associating a logical channel with a corresponding hardware channel based on the mapping table; and connecting the logical channel to the corresponding hardware channel for data communication. A common architecture for the application program to access bus adapter resources is realized. The application programs using this architecture can arbitrarily configure the bus adapter model and the hardware channel that need to be connected, and the mapping relationship takes effect immediately after each configuration change without modifying the user's software, thus improving the efficiency of the application program development and reducing the possibility of errors.

  • Patent number: 11688610
    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a pattern having first and second line features extending in a first direction on a substrate. After depositing a photoresist layer on the substrate to cover the pattern, the photoresist layer is patterned to form a cut pattern including first and second cut features exposing portions of the respective first and second line features. In a top view, at least one of the first and second cut features is asymmetrically arranged with respect to a central axis of a corresponding first or second line feature. At least one angled ion implantation is performed to enlarge the first and second cut features in at least one direction perpendicular to the first direction. The portions of the first and second line features exposed by the respective first and second cut features are then removed.

    Abstract: A cleaning system for a vehicle oil circuit is provided, including a heat exchange unit. The heat exchange unit includes an oil inlet channel, a first container, a second container and an oil outlet channel. The first container is located within the second container. The first container defines a first space communicated with the oil inlet channel and the oil outlet channel, and the first container and the second container define a second space therebetween and non-communicated with the first space. The oil inlet channel guides an oil from the vehicle oil circuit to the first space, and the oil outlet channel discharges the oil from the first space. The first space receives the oil, and the second space receives a detergent. When the oil is in the first space, a heat of the oil is transferred to the detergent through the first container.

  • Publication number: 20220328304
    Abstract: A patterning process is performed on a semiconductor wafer coated with a bottom layer, a middle layer and a photoresist layer having a starting thickness. The patterning process includes: performing an exposure step including exposing the semiconductor wafer using a mask that includes a feature which produces an intermediate light exposure in a target area followed by processing that creates openings in the photoresist layer in accordance with the mask and thins the photoresist in the target area due to the intermediate light exposure in the target area leaving thinned photoresist in the target area; performing middle layer etching to form openings in the middle layer aligned with the openings in the photoresist layer, wherein the middle layer etching does not remove the middle layer in the target area due to protection provided by the thinned photoresist; and performing trim etching to trim the middle layer in the target area.

  • Publication number: 20220065808
    Abstract: A method for a selective detection of L-tryptophan (L-Trp) using formaldehyde as a medium is disclosed. The method includes preparation of a copper sulfide nanosheets-chitosan/acidified functionalized multi-wall carbon nanotubes (CuS NS-CS/F-MWCNTs) composite material, preparation of a composite film-modified electrode CuS NS-CS/F-MWCNTs/GCE, and a detection of the L-Trp. Since oxidation peaks of L-Trp and L-tyrosine (L-Tyr) overlap and are difficult to separate, the present invention provides a method for a highly selective detection of L-Trp through the Pictet-Spengler reaction of formaldehyde (HCHO) with L-Trp, in which the oxidation peak potential of L-Trp is shifted to 0.82 V and the oxidation peak potential of L-Tyr is 0.63 V, thereby effectively avoiding the interference of L-Tyr. The CuS NS-CS/F-MWCNTs/GCE is applied to detect L-Trp in the formaldehyde medium without any interference from L-Tyr or other amino acids with 50-fold concentrations.
