Abstract: A multidrop network system includes N network devices. The N network devices include a master device and multiple slave devices, and each network device has an identification code as its own identification in the multidrop network system. The N network devices have N identification codes and obtain transmission opportunities in turn according to the N identification codes in each round of data transmission. Each network device performs a count operation to generate a current count value, and when the identification code of a network device is the same as the current count value, this network device obtains a transmission opportunity. After a device obtains the transmission opportunity, it determines whether a cut-in signal from another network device is observed in a front duration of a predetermined time slot, and then determines whether to abandon/defer the right to start transmitting in the remaining duration of the predetermined time slot.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes first nanostructures vertically separated from one another, a first gate structure wrapping around each of the first nanostructures, and second nanostructures vertically separated from one another. The semiconductor device also includes a second gate structure wrapping around the second nanostructures, a first drain/source structure coupled to a first end of the first nanostructures, a second drain/source structure coupled to both of a second end of the first nanostructures and a first end of the second nanostructures, and a third drain/source structure coupled to a second end of the second nanostructures. The first drain/source structure has a first doping type, the second and third drain/source structures have a second doping type, and the first doping type is opposite to the second doping type.

Abstract: A process for stamping metallic member with forging thickness of side walls, the process comprising: a forming step by forging, which forms the metallic member by forging; a step for forging thickness of the side walls, which extrudes the side walls of the metallic member to increase thickness of the metallic member; a specular treatment step with diamond cutter, which generates metallic texture of the side walls of the metallic member; and a finish step for forging thickness of the side walls of the metallic member. Wherein the metallic member, for example, is a sheet stamping component.

Abstract: A preferred contact group centric interface for a communication device can be used to facilitate communications by a user. The user interface can be arranged to activate from a user's “home page” on the display, from an idle screen that is accessed after a timeout period expires, or any other appropriate mechanism that activates the preferred contact group centric experience. A user selects the preferred contact group from among an array of the user's contacts. Once the contact group is configured, a minimal number of navigation/selection features is necessary to activate any number of communication modes available to the contacts. The contact group is configured such that simple and quick navigation between the contact members is achieved. The contact group can be presented in 2D and 3D arrangements, in any number of list or geometric configurations. A pricing plan can optionally be tied to each member of the contact group.

Abstract: A vector for expression of hEGF that is made by constructing a gene sequence of SEQ NO: 1 on an expression vector for the transformation of E. coli with said gene sequence to produce hEGF. Through said vector, high purity hEGF can be produced in E. coli and directly excreted from the cell, which means hEGF can be isolated and purified from E. coli culture. In other words, said vector for expression of hEGF can effectively simplify the production and purification procedures of hEGF and enhance its production.
