First, a model operation interface is activated, and in response to receiving an operation through the model operation interface, the following steps are executed. A shipment predictive value at a target time point is calculated based on historical shipment data. Next, a change ratio scale corresponding to the target time point is calculated using the shipment predictive value corresponding to the target time point and multiple previous shipment predictive values at multiple time points before the target time point. Moreover, an average value of past change ratio scales corresponding to the target time point is calculated based on the historical shipment data.

  • Patent number: 11268152
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, the single gene SERPINA1 has been identified as a significant predictor of survival in ER+ and ER+/HER2+ breast cancer patients. For example, patients with ER+/FIER2+ breast cancer generally have a worse outcome compared to ER+/FIER2? and ER?/FIER2+ patients. Currently there is no known predictive marker for the treatment C outcome of ER+ and ER+/FIER2+ breast cancers, thus the ability of SERPINA1 to predict the survival of this intrinsic subtype of breast cancer patients is valuable.

  • Patent number: 9442391
    Abstract: One embodiment relates to a method to achieve enhanced overlay control while maintaining manufacturing throughput for a fabrication process. Locations of a plurality of alignment structures on a wafer comprising a plurality of reticle fields are determined with a layout tool to define a layout-based wafer map. The topography of the wafer is then measured as a function of wafer position by a surface measuring tool. The layout-based wafer map is then projected onto the measured wafer topography to define a modeled wafer map. A subset of alignment structure locations are measured with an alignment tool in an in-line fabrication flow so as not to delay subsequent fabrication steps. Disagreement between the measured alignment structure locations and modeled alignment structure locations is then minimized mathematically to enhance overlay control while maintaining manufacturing throughput.
