  • Patent number: 11990167
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method of forming the same are provided. The method includes forming a bottom electrode layer over a substrate. A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) layers are formed over the bottom electrode layer. A top electrode layer is formed over the MTJ layers. The top electrode layer is patterned. After patterning the top electrode layer, one or more process cycles are performed on the MTJ layers and the bottom electrode layer. A patterned top electrode layer, patterned MTJ layers and a patterned bottom electrode layer form MTJ structures. Each of the one or more process cycles includes performing an etching process on the MTJ layers and the bottom electrode layer for a first duration and performing a magnetic treatment on the MTJ layers and the bottom electrode layer for a second duration.

  • Publication number: 20240144585
    Abstract: A computing device obtains an image depicting a face of a user. The computing device identifies facial features in the image and extracts characteristics of the facial features in the image. The computing device generates a two-dimensional (2D) face chart based on the facial feature characteristics. The computing device predicts a skin tone of the user's face depicted in the image of the user and changes color in a color map of a predefined three-dimensional (3D) model based on the predicted skin tone. The computing device selects a predefined environment map based on characteristics in the image depicting the face of the user and generates a target face image based on the predefined 3D model.

  • Publication number: 20140018681
    Abstract: An ultrasound imaging breast tumor detection and diagnostic system and method is disclosed. The method uses the system to acquire a plurality of 3D breast ultrasound images, and then to cut out multiple regions from the 3D breast ultrasound images using a 3D means shift algorithm, and then to acquire the mean grayscale value (MGV) of each region, and then to classify the regions to groups subject to the mean grayscale value (MGV), and to merge each of the regions of the darkest group with adjacent regions of the similar grayscale into a respective suspicious tumor tissue full region, and then to recognize each suspicious tumor tissue full region to be a tumor tissue region or non-tumor tissue region. Thus, using region as the basic computing unit, tumor tissues are quickly recognized from the 3D breast ultrasound images.
