Abstract: A transistor, a memory and a method of forming the same are disclosed. The transistor includes a gate dielectric layer (200) having an upper portion (200b) and a lower portion (200a). The upper portion (200b) is multi-layer structure having an increased thickness without changing a thickness of the lower portion (200a). In this way, gate-induced drain current leakage of the transistor can be mitigated at uncompromised performance thereof. Additionally, the upper portion (200b) designed as multi-layer structure having an increased thickness can facilitate flexible adjustment in parameters of the upper portion (200b). The memory device includes dielectric material layers (DL), which are formed in respective word line trenches and each have an upper portion and a lower portion. In addition, in both trench isolation structures (STI) and active areas (AA), the upper portion of the dielectric material layers (DL) has a thickness greater than a thickness of the lower portion.

Abstract: A method for diagnosing complicated parapneumonic effusion is revealed. A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is used to measure a level of a target protein in a pleural effusion. Then the level is compared with a preset baseline corresponding to the target protein so as to determine whether the pleural effusion is a complicated parapneumonic effusion (CPPE). The target protein can be further used in combination with conventional CPPE biomarkers to improve sensitivity and specificity in clinical diagnosis of CPPE.

Abstract: A prosthesis socket vacuum device includes a base formed with a first chamber formed with a discharge channel and a vacuum relief channel and a second chamber provided, on an underside thereof, with a locking assembly, which includes a position-constraining block. A positioning assembly having sealing gaskets fit thereto includes a locking pin extending through a positioning member and formed with a recess. In setting the positioning assembly into the base, the positioning member compresses and expels internal air of the first chamber to the outside through the discharge channel in a soundless manner to form a vacuum condition. The locking pin drives the locking assembly to displace until the recess and a closure hole are fixed relative to each other so as to have the locking assembly closes the vacuum relief channel. A gap is provided between the closure hole and the recess to provide an effect of cushioning.
