  • Patent number: 8467999
    Abstract: A method of three-dimensional optimization design for an asymmetric cusp magnetic field in an MCZ single crystal furnace is disclosed. An optimization design for structural parameters of the magnetic field includes first establishing a three-dimensional magnetic model by using ANSYS software, varying parameters of the model, determining a span between upper and lower parts of coils, determining a number of transverse turns of the coils and the thickness of a shield. An optimization design for specification parameters of the coils of the magnetic field includes determining a relationship between heat and specification parameters of the coils and between heat transfer of the coils at their copper pipe walls and the specification parameters of the coils, analyzing heat absorbed by cooling water, establishing an optimization model of a system, and optimizing the specification parameters of the coils of the magnetic field using the ANSYS software.

  • Publication number: 20130144890
    Abstract: Typical frequently-asked question (FAQ) systems perform keyword searches on queries to a database of answers to deliver an answer to a user. The present invention searches a user generated query in a classifier trained to search a database of questions in a set of FAQs. The questions in the database correspond to answers. Upon finding a relevant question, the system returns the corresponding answer to the user. Searching the query against the questions generates more accurate results for the user.

  • Publication number: 20120025112
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a laser liquid level detection device with linear optical magnification of a curved minor, wherein two openings are disposed at a top of a single crystal furnace symmetrically, a laser device and a CCD detecting device are respectively disposed on the two openings, and signal processing devices are pre-disposed within the laser device and the CCD detecting device. In the liquid surface height detection method using the device of the present invention, a model is first established to simulate the laser propagating path, a polynomial curve function of the curved mirror satisfying the requirement is calculated, the prepared curved minor is then disposed in the CCD detecting device, the change in the height of the liquid surface of molten silicon may be reflected on a CCD sensor, and therefore the actual change in the height of the liquid surface of molten silicon may be calculated.

  • Publication number: 20110157821
    Abstract: A mounting apparatus includes a bracket and a gripping member secured to the bracket. The gripping member includes a supporting portion and a retaining portion connected to the supporting portion. A first locking tab and a second locking tab are located on the supporting portion. A latch is located on the retaining portion. The retaining portion is moved between a first position, where the latch is engaged between the first and second locking tabs for sandwiching a PCI card between the retaining portion and the supporting portion, and a second position, where the latch is disengaged from the first and second locking tabs.

  • Patent number: 6980050
    Abstract: A differential amplifier. A differential pair constructed by a first transistor and the second transistor receives differential input signals. The gate terminals of a third and fourth transistor are coupled to the source terminals of the fourth transistor and the third transistor respectively, and the third and fourth transistor construct a feedback device. This feedback device provides a positive feedback to the differential pair in the differential mode, thereby increasing AC amplitude of the differential amplifier. Further this feedback device substantially brings the drain currents of the first current path and the second current path into coincidence in the Vcom mode.

  • Publication number: 20050110998
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a biochip detection system for detecting a biochip labeled with multiple fluorophores. The biochip detection system comprises a broadband light source for generating a light beam, a stand for supporting the biochip, a light integrator positioned between the broadband light source and the biochip, a lens set for adjusting the cross-sectional area of the light beam, a first filter module positioned on the optical path of the light beam, a detector, e.g., CCD camera, photodiode array, for detecting a fluorescence beam emitted from the biochip, and a second filter module positioned on the optical path of the fluorescence beam. The light integrator can be a light tunnel, a lens array or a holographic diffuser for uniforming the intensity distribution of the light beam and changing the cross-sectional shape of the light beam into a rectangle.
