Abstract: A backlight module includes a light source, a first prism sheet disposed on the light source, and a light type adjustment sheet disposed on a side of the first prism sheet away from the light source and including a base and multiple light type adjustment structures. The multiple light type adjustment structures are disposed on the first surface of the base. Each light type adjustment structure has a first structure surface and a second structure surface connected to each other. The first structure surface of each light type adjustment structure and the first surface of the base form a first base angle therebetween, and the second structure surface of each light type adjustment structure and the first surface of the base form a second base angle therebetween. The angle of the first base angle is different from the angle of the second base angle.

Abstract: A device for detecting charged particles includes a substrate, a charge detection plate and an integrated circuit unit that are electrically connected together and respectively disposed on non-coplanar first and second sides of the substrate, and an interference shielding unit substantially enclosing the charge detection plate and the integrated circuit unit in such a manner as to permit impingement on the charge detection plate by the charged particles from outside of the interference shielding unit. The integrated circuit unit disposed on the second side is non-coplanar with the charge detection plate disposed on the first side so as to prevent interference on the integrated circuit unit by the charged particles.

Abstract: A quadrupole ion trap apparatus includes a main electrode, a first end-cap electrode, a second end-cap electrode, and a phase-controlled waveform synthesizer. The phase-controlled waveform synthesizer generates a main RE waveform for the main electrode. The main RE waveform includes a plurality of sinuous waveform segments each of which is a part of a sine wave, and a plurality of phase conjunction segments each of which is non-sinuous. Each of the sinuous waveform segments is bridged to another sinuous waveform segment via one of the phase conjunction segments, so as to perform ordering of micro motions of sample ions trapped by the electrodes.

Abstract: A facial image gender identification system is provided. The system includes a face database, an image capturing unit, a gender identification data generating unit, and a gender identification unit. The face database is for storing gender characteristic values and gender data corresponding to each of a plurality of training facial images respectively. The image capturing unit is for capturing at least one facial image. The gender identification data generating unit, coupled to the image capturing unit and the face database, is for receiving the facial image from the image capturing unit and calculating global feature values and local feature values of the facial image. The gender identification unit, coupled to the gender identification data generating unit and the face database, is for determining a gender identification result according the global feature values and local feature values, and the gender characteristic values and gender data stored in the face database.
