Abstract: An optical element driving mechanism is provided and includes a fixed assembly, a movable assembly, a driving assembly and a stopping assembly. The fixed assembly has a main axis. The movable assembly is configured to connect an optical element, and the movable assembly is movable relative to the fixed assembly. The driving assembly is configured to drive the movable assembly to move relative to the fixed assembly. The stopping assembly is configured to limit the movement of the movable assembly relative to the fixed assembly within a range of motion.

Abstract: An image sleep analysis method and system thereof are disclosed. During sleep duration, a plurality of visible-light images of a body are obtained. Positions of image differences are determined by comparing the visible-light images. A plurality of features of the visible-light images are identified and positions of the features are determined. According to the positions of the image differences and features, the motion intensities of the features are determined. Therefore, a variation of the motion intensities is analyzed and recorded to provide accurate sleep quality.

Abstract: An optical system affixed to an electronic apparatus is provided, including a first optical module, a second optical module, and a third optical module. The first optical module is configured to adjust the moving direction of a first light from a first moving direction to a second moving direction, wherein the first moving direction is not parallel to the second moving direction. The second optical module is configured to receive the first light moving in the second moving direction. The first light reaches the third optical module via the first optical module and the second optical module in sequence. The third optical module includes a first photoelectric converter configured to transform the first light into a first image signal.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a transistor having a source/drain region. A conductive contact is disposed over the source/drain region. A silicide element is disposed below the conductive contact. The silicide element has a non-angular cross-sectional profile. In some embodiments, the silicide element may have an approximately curved cross-sectional profile, for example an ellipse-like profile. The silicide element is formed at least in part by forming an amorphous region in the source/drain region via an implantation process. The implantation process may be a cold implantation process.
