Abstract: A method and a system for mental index prediction are provided. The method includes the following steps. A plurality of images of a subject person are obtained. A plurality of emotion tags of the subject person in the images are analyzed. A plurality of integrated emotion tags in a plurality of predetermined time periods are calculated according to the emotion tags respectively corresponding to the images. A plurality of preferred features are determined according to the integrated emotion tags. A mental index prediction model is established according to the preferred features to predict a mental index according to the emotional index prediction model.

Abstract: A forming operation of resistive memory device is provided. The operation includes: applying a pre-forming gate voltage and a pre-forming bit line voltage to a target memory cell; performing a dense switching forming operation, wherein the dense switching forming operation includes alternately performing dense set operations and dense reset operations on the target memory cell, wherein the dense set operation includes applying a dense switching gate voltage and a dense set bit line voltage; and performing a normal set operation on the target memory cell, wherein the normal set operation includes applying a normal set gate voltage and a normal set bit line voltage to the target memory cell, the normal set gate voltage is greater than the pre-forming gate voltage and the dense switching gate voltage, and the normal set bit line voltage is less than the pre-forming bit line voltage and the dense set bit line voltage.

Abstract: The distance between microscale electrodes can be determined from microdischarge current and/or capacitance distribution among a plurality of electrodes. A microdischarge-based pressure sensor includes a reference pair of electrodes on a body of the sensor and a sensing pair of electrodes. One of the electrodes of the sensing pair is on a diaphragm of the sensor so that the distance between the sensing pair of electrodes changes with diaphragm movement, while the distance between the reference pair does not. Plasma and current distribution within a microdischarge chamber of the sensor is sensitive to very small diaphragm deflections. Pressure sensors can be fabricated smaller than ever before, with useful signals from 50 micron diaphragms spaced only 3 microns from the sensor body. The microdischarge-based sensor is capable of operating in harsh environments and can be fabricated along-side similarly configured capacitive sensors.
