  • Publication number: 20210366284
    Abstract: An internet of vehicles system for dynamically marking risk area includes a cloud server communicating with a vehicle system. The cloud server includes a communication module, a planning module, a computation module, and a determination module. The communication module is configured to receive vehicle information from the vehicle system. The planning module is configured to formulate a dynamic risk area range according to a vehicle position of the vehicle information. The calculation module is configured to calculate a risk factor coefficient corresponding to the vehicle information and a risk intensity corresponding to the dynamic risk area range. The determination module is configured to determine whether the risk intensity is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value. The communication module notifies a warning to the vehicle system that the risk intensity of the dynamic risk area range is greater than the preset threshold value.

  • Patent number: 10274471
    Abstract: A gas detection module is provided with a convenient detection mechanism of the alcohol gas. The gas detection module may include a gas sensor and a detection circuit. The gas sensor includes a substrate, a gate, an insulating layer, an active layer, a source and a drain. The gate is disposed on the substrate. The insulating layer is disposed on the gate and the substrate. The active layer is disposed on the insulating layer. Each of the source and the drain is partially arranged on the active layer and extends to the insulating layer. The active layer is exposed from between the source and the drain. The detection circuit is electrically connected to the source of the gas sensor. Based on this, the deficiency of the conventional gas detection module can be overcome.

  • Publication number: 20170018654
    Abstract: A thin-film transistor and a manufacturing method thereof are characterized in that: the active layer is a group IV-VI compound semiconductor film; the group IV-VI compound is one of geranium sulfide (GeS), germanium selenide (GeSe), germanium telluride (GeTe), tin selenide (SnSe), and tin telluride (SnTe) or a ternary, quaternary, or quinary compound thereof; the active layer is deposited by sputtering; and thermal annealing is performed after the active layer is deposited. The thin-film transistor has high carrier mobility and a high current on/off ratio and therefore meets the needs of high-resolution display development.
