Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate; a plurality of channel regions, including a p-type channel region and an n-type channel region, disposed over the semiconductor substrate; and a gate structure. The gate structure includes a gate dielectric layer disposed over the plurality of channel regions and a work function metal (WFM) structure disposed over the gate dielectric layer. The WFM structure includes an n-type WFM layer over the n-type channel region and not over the p-type channel region and further includes a p-type WFM layer over both the n-type WFM layer and the p-type channel region. The gate structure further includes a fill metal layer disposed over the WFM structure and in direct contact with the p-type WFM layer.

Abstract: A surveillance system having a multi-area motion-detection function is described. The surveillance system includes a display, an area selection device, and a threshold input device. The display shows a surveillance video. The area selection device selects a first area and a second area on the display screen. The threshold input device sets a motion-detection threshold of the first area and a motion-detection threshold of the second area. When the result of the motion-detection exceeds the motion-detection threshold of the first area, the surveillance video is stored in a storage medium. When the result of the motion-detection exceeds the motion-detection threshold of the second area, the surveillance video is stored in the storage medium.

Abstract: A monitoring system including N cameras, a digital video recorder (DVR), a monitor, a remote controller, a receiver and a host is provided. N is a positive integer. The N cameras successively shoot N sceneries, and output N successive images accordingly. The DVR receives and stores the N successive images. The monitor displays a monitoring screen. The remote controller outputs a wireless remote signal. The receiver receives the wireless remote signal and outputs a wire transmit signal accordingly. The host controls the monitor to display at least the successive image in the monitoring screen. The host has an on screen display (OSD) program. When the controller receives the wire transmit signal, the host utilizes the OSD program to process the wire transmit signal to become a screen adjusting signal. The host adjusts the monitoring screen according to the screen adjusting signal.

Abstract: A system for grabbing images from an IP Camera, the system has a mounted Digital Video Recorder (DVR) and an installed IP Camera Module, the IP Camera Module simulates the behavior of a web page navigator retrieving data from a website when data is requested from an embedded website on the IP Camera to grab instant image data in JPEG image file format from the IP Camera, and then send the image data to the Digital Video Recorder for processing.

Abstract: An interactive e-map surveillance system is described. The surveillance system includes a screen, a host, and a selection device. The screen displays a map and a plurality of monitoring locations. When one of the monitoring locations detects a specific event, the host shows emergence messages on the screen. When the specific event is detected and the selection device is activated, the surveillance system automatically informs units in charge of the specific event.
