  • Patent number: 10629734
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a fin structure with tensile stress includes providing a structure divided into an N-type transistor region and a P-type transistor region. Next, two first trenches and two second trenches are formed in the substrate. The first trenches define a fin structure. The second trenches segment the first trenches and the fin. Later, a flowable chemical vapor deposition is performed to form a silicon oxide layer filling the first trenches and the second trenches. Then, a patterned mask is formed only within the N-type transistor region. The patterned mask only covers the silicon oxide layer in the second trenches. Subsequently, part of the silicon oxide layer is removed to make the exposed silicon oxide layer lower than the top surface of the fin structure by taking the patterned mask as a mask. Finally, the patterned mask is removed.

    Abstract: A system and method for simulating facial expression of a virtual facial model are provided. The system stores a plurality of three-dimensional facial models corresponding to a plurality of preset sentiments one-to-one. The system identifies a present sentiment according to an acoustic signal and selects a selected model from the three-dimensional facial models according to the present sentiment, wherein the preset sentiment corresponding to the selected model is same as the present sentiment. The system predicts an upper half face image according to a lower half face image, combines the lower half face image and the upper half face image to form a whole face image, and generates a plurality of feature relationships by matching the facial features of the whole face image with the facial features of the selected model so that a virtual facial model can simulate an expression based on the feature relationships.

  • Publication number: 20200074538
    Abstract: There is provided systems and method for unified payment account establishment and incorporation in a main payment account. A service provider, such as a payment provider, may offer merchants with a development kit that unifies payment methods between various merchants and the service provider so that users are provided with more easily established payment accounts with the merchants. The development kit may include an account establishment interface that may be utilized in a merchant ordering and payment application for a merchant. The interface may provide for establishment of a payment account with the merchant. When initially establishing the payment account, the user may generate a provisional account, which may be synchronized to a payment account the user has with the service provider. When synchronizing the two accounts, the user may transfer information to the merchant, which may be redacted to prevent the merchant from receiving sensitive information.

  • Publication number: 20200053377
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to generating motion vectors. An image signal processor includes a statistics circuit and a vector correlation analysis circuit. The statistics circuit determines image statistics such as vectors representing sums of pixel values of rows or columns of blocks of an image. Additionally, the statistics circuit may mix or aggregate sums of multiple color components. The vector correlation analysis performs cross-correlation between vectors of a current image and reference vectors of a prior image to determine cross-correlation scores. The vector correlation analysis generates a motion vector by identifying shifts in horizontal and vertical directions corresponding to peak values of cross-correlation scores.

  • Patent number: 10359692
    Abstract: A laser illumination system and a method for eliminating laser speckles thereof are revealed. The laser illumination system includes laser module emitting a laser beam, a scanning unit for scanning the laser beam to form scanning beams, and a diffractive optical element which the scanning beams are passed through to form illuminating beams that are projected to an area to be illuminated or an object. Thus an image detecting unit can capture an image of the area or the object. The scanning beams are converted into the illuminating beams by the diffractive optical element that causes changes in spatial phase redistribution or light energy distribution thereof. One point in the area or on the object shows energy of partial light of at least two of the laser beams. Thus a laser speckle of the image can be eliminated by the superposition of the energy of the partial light.
