Patents by Inventor Yu-Shiuan Lai

Yu-Shiuan Lai has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11942451
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a functional die, a dummy die, a redistribution structure, a seal ring and an alignment mark. The dummy die is electrically isolated from the functional die. The redistribution structure is disposed over and electrically connected to the functional die. The seal ring is disposed over the dummy die. The alignment mark is between the seal ring and the redistribution structure, wherein the alignment mark is electrically isolated from the dummy die, the redistribution structure and the seal ring. The insulating layer encapsulates the functional die and the dummy die.

  • Publication number: 20140073054
    Abstract: The invention provides a yeast strain and a method for making the same. The method has the step of replacing the regulation region upstream of the hsp104 gene in the genome of the yeast, so as to accelerate and prolong the expression span of hsp104 gene and enhance the capability of the yeast to ferment and produce ethanol in a high-temperature environment. The yeast is capable of fermenting glucose at a temperature higher than 42° C. to produce ethanol, or biomass ethanol, wherein the ethanol production ratio based on fermentation of glucose is higher than 97%. Being able to synchronize the degradation/hydrolysis stage and fermentation stage of biomass ethanol producing process, the yeast in accordance with the present invention is able to lower the production cost of biomass ethanol and further raise the productivity with its high ethanol production ratio.
