Abstract: An electronic device includes a flexible substrate and a conductive wire. The conductive wire is disposed on the flexible substrate and includes a metal portion and a plurality of openings disposed in the metal portion. The metal portion includes a plurality of extending portions and a plurality of joint portions, and each of the openings is surrounded by two of the plurality of extending portions and two of the plurality of joint portions. A ratio of a sum of widths of the plurality of extending portions to a sum of widths of the plurality of joint portions is in a range from 0.8 to 1.2.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a stretchable composite electrode and a fabricating method thereof, and particularly relates to a stretchable composite electrode including a silver nanowire layer and a flexible polymer film and a fabricating method thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device having a display region and a peripheral region adjacent to the display region. The electronic device includes a first electrode disposed in the display region, a second electrode disposed in the display region, a circuit module disposed in the peripheral region, a first electrical trace, and a second electrical trace electrically insulated from the first electrical trace. The circuit module is electrically connected to the first electrode through the first electrical trace and provides a first driving voltage to the first electrical trace. The circuit module is electrically connected to the second electrode through the second electrical trace and provides a second driving voltage to the second electrical trace, and the first driving voltage is different from the second driving voltage. In a top view, the first electrical trace at least partially overlaps the second electrical trace.

Abstract: A stacked integrated circuit (IC) device and a method are disclosed. The stacked IC device includes a first semiconductor element. The first substrate includes a dielectric block in the first substrate; and a plurality of first conductive features formed in first inter-metal dielectric layers over the first substrate. The stacked IC device also includes a second semiconductor element bonded on the first semiconductor element. The second semiconductor element includes a second substrate and a plurality of second conductive features formed in second inter-metal dielectric layers over the second substrate. The stacked IC device also includes a conductive deep-interconnection-plug coupled between the first conductive features and the second conductive features. The conductive deep-interconnection-plug is isolated by dielectric block, the first inter-metal-dielectric layers and the second inter-metal-dielectric layers.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for inhibiting growth of oral pathogenic bacteria and alleviating an oral pathogenic bacteria-associated disorder using a culture of at least one lactic acid bacterial strain selected from the group consisting of Lactobacillus rhamnosus MP108 which is deposited at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC) under an accession number CGMCC 21225, and Lactobacillus paracasei MP137 which is deposited at the CGMCC under an accession number CGMCC 21224.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of increasing an amount of oral immunoglobulin A (IgA) and/or inhibiting oral pathogens in a subject in need thereof, which utilizes a composition including a therapeutically effective amount of probiotics as an effective ingredient. The probiotics include Lactobacillus plantarum LPL28, which can efficiently increase the amount of oral IgA and/or inhibit the oral pathogens, and thus have a potential to prevent teeth cavities and/or periodontal diseases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for quantitative measurement of catechol estrogen bound protein in blood sample. By detecting adduction levels of binding sites of the catechol estrogen on the protein in blood sample, the catechol estrogen bound protein in the blood sample can be detected quantitatively and a limit of quantitation can be decreased.

Abstract: A hydraulic brake caliper piston/plunger tool includes a handle, a barrel with rear and front tubes, and a shaft. The handle is provided therein with a fluid reservoir and a fluid chamber, and pivotally connected with an operation lever having a plunger inserted into the fluid chamber. The shaft is attached with a piston and fitted through the rear tube, the barrel and the front tube. A return spring is fitted around the shaft in a central hole of the barrel, between the piston and the front tube. A front end of the shaft is adapted to be fitted with an accessory for a disc brake. A rear end of the shaft is adapted to be connected with a turning tool. In use, alternately depressing and releasing the operation lever enables fluid to enter the central hole of the barrel to have the piston together with the shaft moved forward.
