  • Publication number: 20220003799
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a scanning probe, a method and an apparatus for manufacturing the scanning probe. The scanning probe includes a base and a micro-tip disposed on an end of the base, wherein at least a section of the micro-tip comprises a lateral surface with a concavely curved generatrix. In the method, an end of a probe precursor is immersed in a corrosive solution by having a length direction of the probe precursor inclined with a liquid surface of the corrosive solution. The probe precursor is corroded by the corrosive solution while a corrosion current of the corroding is monitored. The probe precursor is moved away from the corrosive solution after a magnitude of the corrosion current has a plunge. The apparatus includes a container containing the corrosive solution, and a driving device configured to move the probe precursor in the container through a fastener.

  • Publication number: 20210383194
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is presented for learning relationships between multiple event types by employing a multi-channel neural graphical event model (MCN-GEM). The method includes receiving, by a computing device, time-stamped, asynchronous, irregularly spaced event epochs, generating, by the computing device, at least one fake epoch between each inter-event interval, wherein fake epochs represent negative evidence, feeding the event epochs and the at least one fake epoch into long short term memory (LSTM) cells, computing hidden states for each of the event epochs and the at least one fake epoch, feeding the hidden states into spatial and temporal attention models, and employing an average attention across all event epochs to generate causal graphs representing causal relationships between all the event epochs.

  • Patent number: 10446341
    Abstract: A keypad includes a base, an actuator, a first and second elastic member and a pivotal mechanism. The base has a through hole. The actuator is located in through hole to be moved between initial position and pressed position. The first elastic member is connected between the base and the actuator. The pivotal mechanism is pivotably and linearly movably disposed on the actuator to be moved between withdrawn position and protruding position. The second elastic member is connected between the actuator and the pivotal mechanism. The base has stop block and recess and the pivotal mechanism has tooth. While the actuator is moved to the pressed position, the tooth is stopped by the stop block so that the pivotal mechanism is pivoted and then linearly moved to the withdrawn position, and then enters into the recess, enabling the pivotal mechanism to the protruding position and press a switch.
