  • Publication number: 20240113166
    Abstract: A method for fabricating semiconductor devices includes forming channel regions over a substrate. The channel regions, in parallel with one another, extend along a first lateral direction. Each channel region includes at least a respective pair of epitaxial structures. The method includes forming a gate structure over the channel regions, wherein the gate structure extends along a second lateral direction. The method includes removing, through a first etching process, a portion of the gate structure that was disposed over a first one of the channel regions. The method includes removing, through a second etching process, a portion of the first channel region. The second etching process includes one silicon etching process and one silicon oxide deposition process. The method includes removing, through a third etching process controlled based on a pulse signal, a portion of the substrate that was disposed below the removed portion of the first channel region.

  • Patent number: 9036018
    Abstract: A facial expression recognition system includes a facial database, an image capture unit, an expression recognition data generation unit and an expression recognition unit. The facial database includes a plurality of expression information and expression features of optical flow field, wherein each of the expression features of optical flow field corresponds to one of the expression information. The image capture unit captures a plurality of facial images. The expression recognition data generation unit is coupled to the image capture unit and the facial database for receiving a first facial image and a second facial image from the image capture unit and calculating an expression feature of optical flow field between the first facial image and the second facial image corresponding to each of the expression information.

  • Patent number: 8285552
    Abstract: A system and a method for simulating expression of a message are provided. The system comprises a network platform end and at least one user end. The network platform end comprises a message capturing module for capturing a user message; a feature analyzing module for performing a characteristic analysis on content of the user message, so as to mark at least one simulation action tag on the message content; and a simulation message generating module for acquiring simulation instructions corresponding to the at least one simulation action tag and combining the same with the message content to generate a simulation message. The user end comprises a user device for receiving the simulation message and outputting the message content and simulation instructions contained in the simulation message to a simulation device; and the simulation device for playing the received message content and executing corresponding simulation instructions.
