Abstract: An estimation system includes a plurality of sensors that generate a multimodal signal, where the multimodal signal indicates a state of a user. The estimation system also includes at least one processor that receives the multimodal signal from the plurality of sensors, and determines a workload experienced by the user based on the multimodal signal and a workload model, wherein the workload model relates multimodal signal data to an experienced workload.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting empty container includes acquiring a first image of a container using an imaging system, and after the first image is acquired, causing a perturbation device to perturb a content of the container. The method further includes acquiring a second image of the container using the imaging system after the perturbation, and processing the first image and the second image using one or more computer processors, to determine whether the container is empty based on whether there is a difference between the first image and the second image as a result of one or more objects inside the container being moved due to the perturbation.

Abstract: A cross bar type unlock-driving structure, to be mounted in a panel-outside space of a door panel, includes a handle-end frame, a mounting frame, a handle and a driving member, and a handle seat. The handle-end base includes a basic frame and a mounting frame to form an accommodation space with both vertical and horizontal opening. The handle and the driving member, integrated as a unique piece, provide the driving member to be formed as an extension finger for pushing an unlock-driven unit disposed inside the accommodation space. The handle seat, mounted onto the middle plate of the mounting frame, is to mount pivotally the handle and the driving member with the driving member located in the accommodation space and the handle located out of the handle seat. With the vertical and horizontal opening provided to the accommodation space, different types of lock cartridges can be contained.

Abstract: A cross bar type universal lock-driving structure to be mounted in a panel-outside space of a door panel has a horizontal channel and a vertical channel for being universally assembled to one of a single-point lock, a double-point lock, a three-point lock, a vertical single-point lock, an embedded lock cartridge and an embedded vertical double-point lock-driving structure. The cross bar type universal lock-driving structure includes a handle-end base, a cross bar type handle assembly and a driving member. The handle-end base, deposed in the panel-outside space of the door panel, is furnished with a through hole. The cross bar type handle assembly is pivotally connected with the handle-end base.

Abstract: A universal door lock-driving assembly is installed in an exterior space of a door panel. The door panel is furnished with at least one of an embedded lock cartridge, an embedded vertical-extending lock bar assembly and an exposed vertical-extending lock bar assembly. The universal door lock-driving assembly includes a base set, an action unit, a driving member and a slidable unit. The slidable unit can assemble a first assembling member and a second assembling member. The first assembling member can apply a penetration slot on the base set to generate interaction with the embedded lock cartridge or the embedded vertical-extending lock bar assembly. The second assembling member can interact with an exposed lock bar. Thus, the universal door lock-driving assembly can be used to unlock at least the lock cartridge and the lock bar assembly.

Abstract: A locker assembly is mounted outside to a door board having a penetration hole for cooperating with one of an embedded lock casing, an embedded vertical extended-rod locking assembly and an exposed vertical extended-rod locking assembly mounted on the door board. The locker assembly includes a base, a sliding unit, a fixation base structure, a toggle coupled with the fixation base structure and a rocker arm. The base has a through aperture and applies the sliding unit to adopt commonly the locker assembly. The sliding unit can assemble a turning application rod penetrating both the through aperture and the penetration hole. While the rocker arm is depressed, the toggle rotates to slide the sliding unit and so as further to drive the turning application rod inside the through aperture and the penetration hole to further perform the unlocking of the door board.

Abstract: A shutter mounting adjuster provided between a non-vertical peripheral wall of a shutter opening and a hanging strip hinged to a shutter to support the shutter in the shutter opening. A slider movably mounted in a longitudinal groove of the hanging strip of the shutter, and an arched spring strip fixed on the slider for movement with the slider along the longitudinal groove for enaging the non-vertical peripheral wall to postion the hanging strip vertically in the shutter opening.

Abstract: The present invention teaches a film having a pealably sealable layer. When used in the vacuum packaging bag material context, the result is a vacuum packaging bag that a consumer can evacuate and hermetically seal. The consumer may later open the bag through a manual pealing action that does not require a tool and that does not result in wasting or destroying a portion of the vacuum packaging bag. The present invention also contemplates a variety of applications for the pealably sealable films, including preformed bags and bag rolls, as well as a variety of apparatus for manufacturing the films and appliances for utilizing the bags and bag rolls.

Abstract: A shutter mounting adjuster provided between one vertical peripheral wall of an opening for shutter and a hanging strip of a shutter to support the shutter in vertical is disclosed to include a slider movably mounted in a longitudinal sliding groove of the hanging strip of the shutter, and an arched spring strip fixedly mounted on the slider for movement with the slider along the longitudinal sliding groove. The arched spring strip has an arched body portion fixedly fastened to the slider and two bearing tips respectively extended from two distal ends of the arched body portion in reversed directions and respectively pressed on the vertical peripheral wall.

Abstract: The present invention reveals a semiconductor dual damascene etching process, which uses a confined plasma etching chamber to integrate all dual damascene steps such as via hole etching, photoresist stripping and barrier layer removal which originally performed in various reactors as a continuous procedure in the confined plasma chamber. The confined plasma chamber including a confinement ring surrounding a wafer and an anti-etching upper electrode plate performs the steps mentioned above under clean mode. The present invention can not only reduce the time period required by the semiconductor dual damascene process but also greatly reduce the manufacturing cost.
