Abstract: An ear canal clamp for small animals includes a base and a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes two clamping arms movably mounted on the base, a biasing member mounted on the base and constrained between the clamping arms, and two ear canal positioning members mounted respectively to the clamping arms and facing each other. The clamping arms are configured to move toward each other and compress the biasing member to increase the distance between the ear canal positioning members. A biasing force generated by the biasing member when compressed is used to push the clamping arms to move oppositely with respect to each other.

Abstract: A method includes forming first and second semiconductor fins and a gate structure over a substrate; forming a first and second source/drain epitaxy structures over the first and second semiconductor fins; forming an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer over the first and second source/drain epitaxy structures; etching the gate structure and the ILD layer to form a trench; performing a first surface treatment to modify surfaces of a top portion and a bottom portion of the trench to NH-terminated; performing a second surface treatment to modify the surfaces of the top portion of the trench to N-terminated, while leaving the surfaces of the bottom portion of the trench being NH-terminated; and depositing a first dielectric layer in the trench, wherein the first dielectric layer has a higher deposition rate on the surfaces of the bottom portion of the trench than on the surfaces of the bottom portion of the trench.

Abstract: In order to reduce the occurrence of current alarms in a semiconductor etching or deposition process, a controller determines an offset in relative positions of a cover ring and a shield over a wafer within a vacuum chamber. The controller provides a position alarm and/or adjusts the position of the cover ring or shield when the offset is greater than a predetermined value or outside a range of acceptable values.

Abstract: The invention uses intestinal microbial flora and combinations thereof as a liver cancer biomarker and provide a method for detection, in short, the intestinal microbial flora of the invention can be used as a liver cancer biomarker and can be used as a non-invasive method for detecting or predicting liver cancer, combined with conventional blood tests, not only capable of improving the accuracy rate of detection, but also capable of increasing the willingness of patients to participate in detection to achieve the efficacies of early prevention and early treatment.

Abstract: A flexible mold has a mold body having a nanoimprinting microstructure and is gradually thickened from its periphery to the middle. Also, a resist spreading nanoimprinting method that integrates a soft mold into a dovetailed meal ring and then deforms it to form a point contact with a substrate before an imprinting process is followed and then convert a loading force into a specific distributed contact pressure for driving the resist flow by using an elastomer cushion pad with a pre-designed convex surface.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for treating and/or preventing metabolic syndrome and related diseases thereof, by administering a microbe composition to an individual to achieve the modulation of blood glucose, inhibition of body weight gain, reduction of low density cholesterol in blood, and reduction of hepatic expression of inflammatory factors, thereby effectively treating and/or preventing metabolic syndrome or related diseases thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is a flexible mold with variable thickness which is a mold body with nano-imprinting micro-structure, and the mold body is gradually thickened from its periphery to the middle. When the flexible mold with variable thickness of the present invention is subjected to a force or displaced, a larger amount of compression may be produced to cause a larger contact pressure between the micro-structure at the bottom of the mold body and the imprinted object, and to control the amount of deformation of the mold body upon stripping by the thickness difference of the mold body for overcoming the previous defect caused by the excessive draft angle or sharp pressure release.
