Abstract: An optical defect detection method and a system thereof are disclosed. The detection method includes a process of detecting an image of an optical film by an optical detector. The image is converted into a clean detection image by conducting the following processes: uniforming the brightness, enhancing the contrast, filtering off the noise, smoothing the image and binarizing the image. A relative relation between a pixel and the surrounding pixels of the clean detection image is converted into a spatial relation sequence model. The spatial relation sequence model is compared to the different types of the defect sequence model, so that the defect type of the optical film is identified as a point defect, a lack of material defect or a ripple defect.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for sensing multiple reference levels in non-volatile storage elements without changing the voltage on the selected word line. One aspect includes determining a first condition of a selected non-volatile storage element with respect to a first reference level based on whether a sensing transistor conducts in response to a sense voltage on a sense node. Then, a voltage on the source terminal of the sensing transistor is modified after determining the first condition with respect to the first reference level. A second condition of the selected non-volatile storage element is then determined with respect to a second reference level based on whether the sensing transistor conducts in response to the sense voltage on the sense node. This allows two different reference levels to be efficiently sensed. Dynamic power is saved due low capacitance of the sensing transistor relative to the sense node.

Abstract: A housing of an active component, which is used to install an active source, includes a main portion and at least two fixing portions. The main portion has side walls. The active source is installed on the main portion. The Young's modulus of the material making the fixing portion is different from the Young's modulus of the material making the main portion. The fixing portion is formed with fixing holes, and is connected to the side wall of the main portion. It therefore provides better effects of shock proofing and shock isolation without unnecessary noise, and prevents a fixing element fixing the active component from being loosened, with enhanced stability of the active component. The present invention also provides a manufacturing method for housing of the active component.
