Abstract: A memory device includes a plurality of memory cells disposed over a substrate and formed as an array that has a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. Each of the plurality of memory cells includes a plurality of transistors. A first subset of the plurality of memory cells, that are disposed in first neighboring ones of the plurality of rows, are physically coupled to a corresponding one of a plurality of second interconnect structures that carries a supply voltage through a corresponding one of a plurality of first interconnect structures. The plurality of first interconnect structures extend along a first lateral direction in parallel with a lengthwise direction of a channel of each of the transistors of the memory cells, and the plurality of second interconnect structures, disposed above the plurality of first interconnect structures, extend along a second lateral direction perpendicular to the first lateral direction.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a complex probiotic composition and a method for improving exercise performance of a subject with low intrinsic aerobic exercise capacity. The complex probiotic composition, which includes Lactobacillus rhamnosus GKLC1, Bifidobacterium lactis GKK24 and Clostridium butyricum GKB7, administered to the subject with the low intrinsic aerobic exercise capacity in a continuation period, can effectively reduce serum lactic acid and serum urea nitrogen after aerobic exercise, reduce proportion of offal fat and/or increase liver and muscle glycogen contents, thereby being as an effective ingredient for preparation of various compositions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are related to a memory device. In one aspect, a memory device includes a set of memory cells. In one aspect, the memory device includes a first bit line extending along a direction. The first bit line may be coupled to a subset of the set of memory cells disposed along the direction. In one aspect, the memory device includes a second bit line extending along the direction. In one aspect, the memory device includes a switch coupled between the first bit line and the second bit line.

Abstract: A bonding tool includes a gas supply line that may extend directly between valves associated with one or more gas supply tanks and a processing chamber such that gas supply line is uninterrupted without any intervening valves or other types of structures that might otherwise cause a pressure buildup in the gas supply line between the processing chamber and the valves associated with the one or more gas supply tanks. The pressure in the gas supply line may be maintained at or near the pressure in the processing chamber so that gas provided to the processing chamber through the gas supply line does not cause a pressure imbalance in the processing chamber, which might otherwise cause early or premature contact between semiconductor substrates that are to be bonded in the processing chamber.

Abstract: An antenna structure is provided. The antenna structure includes a first metal layer and a second metal layer disposed over the first metal layer. The second metal layer forms a first antenna resonating element operating at a first band and has a first opening. The antenna structure also includes a third metal layer disposed over the second metal layer. The third metal layer forms a second antenna resonating element operating at a second band, which is different from the first band. The antenna structure further includes a first transmission line extending from the first metal layer to the second metal layer and a second transmission line extending from the first metal layer through the first opening to the third metal layer.

Abstract: A memory device and a method for operating the memory device are provided. The memory device includes a memory cell and a bit line connected to the memory cell. A negative voltage generator is connected to the bit line. The negative voltage generator, when enabled, is operative to provide a first write path for the bit line. A control circuit is connected to the negative voltage generator and the bit line. The control circuit is operative to provide a second write path for the bit line when the negative voltage generator is not enabled.

Abstract: A method for specifying a cleaning area to a cleaning robot without an in-built map provides a hand-held mobile device capturing a two-dimensional code label arranged on a top of a cleaning robot parked on a charging base, and obtaining a positional relationship between the mobile device and the cleaning robot through the captured image. The cleaning robot is controlled to enter a cleaning mode under the guidance of the mobile device. With captured images, a user can specify an area within the environment for cleaning, and through a touch display screen can control the cleaning robot to go to the specified cleaning area for cleaning. The mobile device and the cleaning robot employing the method are also disclosed.

Abstract: An interference filtering method applied to the voice commands of a user of a device includes audio acquisition unit of device taking a first audio signal including user voice from the environment and a second audio signal from an audio output unit of a device creating competing noise. A first background audio signal is obtained by filtering a speech sound region in first audio signal, and a second background audio signal is obtained by filtering a speech sound region in second audio signal. A time difference T and a sound amplified parameter X are obtained by comparison. A third audio signal is obtained by performing time compensation, amplification, and an inverting operation on second audio signal. First audio signal and third audio signal are synthesized to produce fourth audio signal for feeding to voice recognition unit of the original user device.

Abstract: An earphone able to function as a left or as a right earphone and receive sound channels accordingly comprises a processing unit, a capturing unit, and a touch sensor. The capturing unit gets images of ear canal. The touch sensor senses a first and second ear contact points. The processing unit applies sensor readings and captured images to an imaginary circle having a default radius, to determine whether earphone is being worn in the right or in the left ear. The output of sound can be channeled appropriately to an earphone in the left ear or in the right ear or both. A method and a system for detecting wearing state are also provided.

Abstract: A method for sharing streaming media between a plurality of media providing devices and a media requesting device includes the media requesting device sending a request message to each of the media providing devices. Each of the media providing devices generates and displays a verification image. The media requesting device captures the verification image of one of the media providing devices and extracts a verification code from the captured verification image. The verification code is sent to each of the media providing devices for verification. When the verification code passes a verification of a corresponding media providing device, a media sharing connection between the media requesting device and the corresponding media providing device is established.
