Publication number: 20180164164Abstract: A thin film material residual testing structure comprises two groups of structures. The first group of structures comprises an electrostatic driven polysilicon cantilever beam, an asymmetrical cross beam made of thin film material to be tested and having an alignment structure, and a double-end fixed support beam made of the thin film material to be tested. The second group of structures is similar to the structure of the first group with the fixed support beam removed. A residual stress testing method includes separating the loading drive part of force from a residual stress testing structure made of the thin film material to be tested, designing the bending deflection of a control testing structure according to geometrical parameters, extracting the force applied on the residual stress testing structure and utilizing force and deflection to calculate the residual stress of the thin film material to be tested.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2015Publication date: June 14, 2018Inventors: Weihua Li, Lei Wang, Lu Zhang, Zaifa Zhou

Publication number: 20160338646Abstract: An ultra-thin wearable sensing device includes a sensor tag IC that enables the device to communicate wirelessly to a reading device. The wearable sensing device includes one or more sensors connected to the sensor tag IC that sense characteristics of the person, animal or object that the sensing device comes in contact with. The sensed characteristics can include biological signals (e.g., ECG, EMG, and EEG), temperature, galvanic skin response (GSR), heat flux and chemicals or fluids released by the skin. The reading device can display the information to the user and/or transmit the sensor data to a remote location for further processing. A doctor can review the data or have the data further analyzed and use this data or information to assist with treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2016Publication date: November 24, 2016Inventors: Stephen LEE, Weihua LI, Milan RAJ, Roozbeh GHAFFARI, Gilbert Lee HUPPERT, Nicholas KUBASTI, Adam LEECH, Hoi-Cheong Steve SUN, Scott SHAW

Patent number: 9426295Abstract: A method and device for distributing an incoming call to a mobile agent are disclosed. The method includes: receiving a message for requesting a customer service representative; after determining that there is no idle online agent who has a skill of serving the call, selecting one agent from offline agents lists to serve the incoming call to provide the manual service; and sending a notification message to a mobile terminal corresponding to the selected agent, wherein, the notification message is used for notifying the customer service representative to login a call center system through the mobile terminal to provide the manual service. With the above technical scheme, it can at least solve the technical problem that it is difficult to perform real-time processing on a manual service request for certain agents not always in a state of logining the call center system in the related art.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2013Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: ZTE CorporationInventor: Weihua Li
