  • Patent number: 11948954
    Abstract: An electrode controls transmittance of a blocking layer over a photodiode of a pixel sensor (e.g., a photodiode of a small pixel detector) by changing oxidation of a metal material included in the blocking layer. By using the electrode to adjust transmittance of the blocking layer, pixel sensors for different uses and/or products may be produced using a single manufacturing process. As a result, power and processing resources are conserved that otherwise would have been expended in switching manufacturing processes. Additionally, production time is decreased (e.g., by eliminating downtime that would otherwise have been used to reconfigure fabrication machines.

  • Publication number: 20160121065
    Abstract: A breathing assistance apparatus comprises a gas supply device, a mask prevent leakage control box (MPLCB), and a mask. The mask is used to cover user's face, and the mask has a gasbag at one side in contact with the user. The gas supply device connects to a gas inlet of the mask through a tunnel, and outputs treatment gas to the user stably. The MPLCB connects to the mask through a windpipe. The MPLCB pressurizes the gasbag automatically when a leakage is detected in the mask, and the gasbag is then inflated to touch the user's face. Therefore, the inside of the mask can remain airtight, so as to prevent the treatment gas in the mask from deflating out of the mask continually.
