Publication number: 20200168306Abstract: Provided herein is to a method and a system for sharing electronic medical and health records. The method is operated in a serving system with a database. The system provides a software program executed by a terminal device. In the method, the serving system receives a connection request from the terminal device and verifies a user blockchain ID. The system provides one or more medical-health record indexes after the verification. When receiving an instruction for sharing medical-health record from the terminal device, the system generates a trust anchor for the terminal device. The trust anchor is provided for the terminal device to share with a shared recipient. When receiving an authorization message from the shared recipient, the system transmits the medical-health records to be shared to the shared recipient after verifying the blockchain ID and the authorization message.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2019Publication date: May 28, 2020Inventors: Ray-Jade Chen, Yu-Sheng Lo, Lan-Ying Kang, Hsing-Nan Hou, Wan-Lin Chou

Patent number: 9412528Abstract: A switch structure connectable with both bare lead and flat-head terminal lead. The switch structure includes a main body formed with at least one cavity. A retainer member and a conductive metal member are arranged in the cavity for pressing the terminal lead into electrical connection with the conductive metal member. A reciprocally movable carrier body is assembled with the retainer member. The carrier body has an arm assembled with an elastic member. A restriction body is disposed in the cavity. The restriction body is formed with a chamber for receiving the arm and the elastic member of the carrier body. The restriction body restricts the moving direction or distance of the carrier body to increase the structural strength of the switch structure and enhance the lead locking ability of the switch structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2014Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignees: Switchlab Inc., Switchlab (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chih-Yuan Wu, Sheng-Nan Hou

Patent number: 9312325Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device includes forming a capacitor bottom plate and a metal interconnect feature on a substrate. A dielectric layer having a predetermined thickness is then formed. The dielectric layer has a first portion overlying the capacitor bottom plate and a second portion overlying the metal interconnect feature. A thickness of the first portion of the dielectric layer is adjusted by either reducing the thickness or depositing additional dielectric material. A capacitor top plate is formed over the first portion of the dielectric layer.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2015Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Shean-Ren Horng, Kuo-Nan Hou, Feng-Liang Lai

Patent number: 9000562Abstract: A method for forming a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor includes forming a capacitor bottom plate and a metal interconnect feature on a substrate. A dielectric layer having a predetermined thickness is then formed. The dielectric layer has a first portion overlying the capacitor bottom plate and a second portion overlying the metal interconnect feature. The dielectric layer is processed to adjust the thickness of the first portion of the dielectric layer relative the thickness of the second portion of the dielectric layer. Processing can include etching the first portion of the dielectric layer or adding dielectric material to the second portion of the dielectric layer. A capacitor top plate is formed over the first portion of the dielectric layer to complete the MIM structure.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2011Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Shean-Ren Horng, Kuo-Nan Hou, Feng-Liang Lai
