  • Patent number: 8247277
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a thin film transistor is provided. An insulating pattern layer having at least one protrusion is formed on a substrate. At least one spacer and a plurality of amorphous semiconductor patterns separated from each other are formed on the insulating pattern layer. The spacer is formed at one side of the protrusion and connected between the amorphous semiconductor patterns. The spacer and the amorphous semiconductor patterns are crystallized. The protrusion and the insulating pattern layer below the spacer are removed so that a beam structure having a plurality of corners is formed and suspended over the substrate. A carrier tunneling layer, a carrier trapping layer and a carrier blocking layer are sequentially formed to compliantly wrap the corners of the beam structure. Hereafter, a gate is formed on the substrate to cover the beam structure and wrap the carrier blocking layer.

  • Publication number: 20120116764
    Abstract: A speech recognition method on all sentences in all languages is provided. A sentence can be a word, name or sentence. All sentences are represented by E×P=12×12 matrices of linear predict coding cepstra (LPCC) 1000 different voices are transformed into 1000 matrices of LPCC to represent 1000 databases. E×P matrices of known sentences after deletion of time intervals between two words are put into their closest databases. To classify an unknown sentence, use the distance to find its F closest databases and then from known sentences in its F databases, find a known sentence to be the unknown one. The invention needs no samples and can find a sentence in one second using Visual Basic. Any person without training can immediately and freely communicate with computer in any language. It can recognize up to 7200 English words, 500 sentences of any language and 500 Chinese words.

    Abstract: A multi-touch positioning method for a capacitive touch panel includes following steps. A candidate touching position array including a first and a second candidate position groups is generated when the capacitive touch panel is touched by two objects. The first and the second candidate position groups include two first and second candidate positions, respectively. Next, the signal magnitude sensed by a sensing element and respectively corresponding to the first and the second candidate position groups are compared. Then, when the signal magnitude corresponding to the first candidate position group is greater than that corresponding to the second candidate position group, one of the two first candidate positions closer to the sensing element along a first direction is determined as a first actual touching position, and one of the two second candidate positions farther from the sensing element along the first direction is determined as a second actual touching position.

  • Patent number: 8160866
    Abstract: The present invention can recognize both English and Chinese at the same time. The most important skill is that the features of all English words (without samples) are entirely extracted from the features of Chinese syllables. The invention normalizes the signal waveforms of variable lengths for English words (Chinese syllables) such that the same words (syllables) can have the same features at the same time position. Hence the Bayesian classifier can recognize both the fast and slow utterance of sentences. The invention can improve the feature such that the speech recognition of the unknown English (Chinese) is guaranteed to be correct. Furthermore, since the invention can create the features of English words from the features of Chinese syllables, it can also create the features of other languages from the features of Chinese syllables and hence it can also recognize other languages, such as German, French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, etc.

  • Patent number: 8145483
    Abstract: The invention can recognize any several languages at the same time without using samples. The important skill is that features of known words in any language are extracted from unknown words or continuous voices. These unknown words represented by matrices are spread in the 144-dimensional space. The feature of a known word of any language represented by a matrix is simulated by the surrounding unknown words. The invention includes 12 elastic frames of equal length without filter and without overlap to normalize the signal waveform of variable length for a word, which has one to several syllables, into a 12×12 matrix as a feature of the word. The invention can improve the feature such that the speech recognition of an unknown sentence is correct. The invention can correctly recognize any languages without samples, such as English, Chinese, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Cantonese, Taiwanese, etc.
