  • Patent number: 10665748
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode includes from bottom to up: a substrate, a first-conductive type semiconductor layer, a super lattice, a multi-quantum well layer and a second-conductive type semiconductor layer. At least one layer of granular medium layer is inserted in the super lattice. The granular medium layer is used for forming V pits with different widths and depths in the super lattice. The multi-quantum well layer fills up the V pits and is over the top surface of the super lattice. The number of micro-particle generations, positions and densities can be adjusted by introducing granular medium layers and controlling the number of layers, position and growth conditions during super lattice growth process, to ensure V pits of different depths and densities. This can change hole injection effect, effectively improve hole injection efficiency and distribution uniformity in all quantum wells, thus improving LED light-emitting efficiency.

  • Patent number: 10653339
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for activity tracking based on time domain and frequency domain processing are disclosed. Embodiments according to the present invention are used to improve the accuracy of activity detection and step counting. The activity tracking starts from sample collection to generate 3-D accelerometer data. By pre-processing, the 3-D accelerometer data is calibrated and filtered. Then, the dominant component is calculated and statistical attributes or features used for activity detection are extracted. The statistical attributes are derived from time domain sensor data, frequency domain transformed data, or both. A classifier is developed using representative training data set. The activity detector determines the current activity status based on the statistical attributes and the classifier. To further refine the activity, post-processing is performed on the activity status.
