  • Publication number: 20240096628
    Abstract: A photo mask includes a plurality of device features, a first assist feature, and a second assist feature. The device features are in a patterning region of a device region. The first assist feature are in the patterning region and adjacent to the device features. The first assist feature is for correcting an optical proximity effect in a photolithography process. The second assist feature is in a non-patterning region of the device region. The second assist feature is a sub-resolution correction feature, and a first distance between the second assist feature and one of the device features closest to the second assist feature is greater than a second distance between adjacent two of the device features.

  • Publication number: 20220341848
    Abstract: A biochemical substance analysis system (5) is used to detect biological characteristics of a sample in a flow cell (38), and includes a detection system (51), a scheduling system (53), a biochemical reaction system (55). and a control system (57). The scheduling system (53) is used to schedule the flow cell (38) at different sites, including sites in the detection system (51) and sites in the biochemical reaction system (55). The biochemical reaction system (55) is used to allow the sample to react in the flow cell (38). The detection system (51) is used to detect a signal from the reacted sample to obtain a signal representing the biological characteristics of the sample. The control system (57) is used to control the detection system (51), the scheduling system (53), and the biochemical reaction system (55) to cooperate. The disclosure improves automation degree and flux of the biochemical substance analysis.

  • Patent number: 11226983
    Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronizing data between an online data source and a client application. The method includes, in response to a change in a permission associated with a user to a protected data set included in a shared data space of the online data source, receiving, with the client application associated with the user, a protected data synchronization token issued by the online data source associated with the protected data set and downloading, with the client application, the protected data set included in the shared data space from the online data source to the client application using the protected data synchronization token without re-downloading a public data set included in the shared data space. After downloading the protected data set, the method includes synchronizing the shared data space, including the protected data set and the public data set, using a stored data space synchronization token.
