Abstract: A thin film transistor includes a gate electrode embedded in an insulating layer that overlies a substrate, a gate dielectric overlying the gate electrode, an active layer comprising a compound semiconductor material and overlying the gate dielectric, and a source electrode and drain electrode contacting end portions of the active layer. The gate dielectric may have thicker portions over interfaces with the insulating layer to suppress hydrogen diffusion therethrough. Additionally or alternatively, a passivation capping dielectric including a dielectric metal oxide material may be interposed between the active layer and a dielectric layer overlying the active layer to suppress hydrogen diffusion therethrough.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical system for triglyceride inspection partially integrated into a toilet seat and comprising a plurality of optical sensor modules and a controlling and processing module, wherein each said optical sensor module comprises a first light source, a second light source and an optical sensor. The optical sensor receives light signals generated by the first and second light sources respectively on the skin of the person (especially the skin of the thighs) to be tested and thereby generates a sensing signal of an adaptive calibration function. The sensing signal is then converted by the controlling and processing module into an inspection value of triglyceride, which is transmitted to a display unit. With the above optical system for triglyceride inspection, triglycerides can be inspected automatically without invasive blood sampling, making the system a convenient home health monitoring device.

Abstract: A sandwich maker includes a base, a first hot-pressing module, a connecting rod set, a second hot-pressing module, a driving motor, and a control module. The first hot-pressing module is assembled to the base. The connecting rod set is pivotally disposed on the base and pivots between a standby position and a heating position. The second hot-pressing module is assembled to the connecting rod set, and is moved between the standby position and the heating position driven by the connecting rod set. At the standby position, the second hot-pressing module is far away from the first hot-pressing module. At the heating position, the second hot-pressing module correspondingly covers the first hot-pressing module. The driving motor is connected to and drives the connecting rod set. The control module is electrically connected to and controls the first hot-pressing module, the second hot-pressing module, and the driving motor.

Abstract: A sandwich maker includes a body, a tray, and a hot-pressing mechanism. The body has an inlet, where the tray may enter or exit the body through the inlet. The hot-pressing mechanism includes a hot-pressing upper mold and a hot-pressing lower mold, and the hot-pressing upper mold and the hot-pressing lower mold may be relatively closed toward a side of the tray or reset toward an opposite direction. The sandwich maker further includes a first driving mechanism and a material receiving structure. Ingredients of a sandwich are placed on the tray, the tray can enter or exit the body, and a mold is relatively closed by driving the hot-pressing mechanism through the first driving mechanism to perform automatic two-sided hot pressing on the ingredients of the sandwich, so that both sides of the ingredients of sandwich are heated evenly.

Abstract: A sandwich maker is provided, including a support structure, a pressing mechanism, a hot-pressing structure, a bearing structure, a conveying mechanism, and a controller. The pressing mechanism includes a first motor set, a first transmission rod, and a connecting base, where the connecting base performs linear reciprocating motion along a first direction driven by the first motor set and the first transmission rod. The hot-pressing structure includes a heating device and a pressing mold. The pressing mold has a first mold cavity. The bearing structure includes a heating furnace and a bearing mold. The bearing mold has a second mold cavity. The conveying mechanism includes a second motor, a second transmission rod, and a conveying base, where the conveying base performs linear reciprocating motion along a second direction driven by the second motor and the second transmission rod. The controller controls operation of the sandwich maker.

Abstract: A DC—DC converter is provided for converting an input voltage to a first output voltage. The input voltage is input to a first selecting switch, controlled by a first signal, and a second selecting switch. A first capacitor has one end, input by the first signal, and the other end, electrically coupled to the first selecting switch and outputs a first control voltage to control the second selecting switch. A second capacitor has one end, input by a second signal, and the other end, electrically coupled to the second selecting switch and outputs a first storage voltage. The first select switch outputs the first storage voltage as the first output voltage according to the first control voltage. The first or the second signal comes to a first and a second voltage levels by turns and they come to the first or the second level at a different time point.
