  • Publication number: 20230078261
    Abstract: A method for detecting from images correct placement and function, or incorrect placement and function, of a clip of a transportation box of wafers in sterile or similar conditions obtains an image template comprising features of clip and obtains a first detection image of a working clip. An object region focusing on the imaged clip in the first detection image is determined according to the image template. Part of the working image is selected as a first preset location. The part of the image is masked to obtain a second detection image, the masking obscures the background region of the part of the image but not the clip-object region, and displays the unobscured clip-object region. The second detection image is input into a trained neural network model to determine whether the clip is in sealed or unsealed state. An electronic device and a non-transitory storage medium are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220216081
    Abstract: A method and a device for detecting a placement of wafers in a wafer cassette are provided. The wafer cassette includes a plurality of receiving grooves. The receiving grooves hold and store the wafers. Light is emitted through the wafer cassette. The light passes through the gaps and is imaged, and the image is captured. Characteristic information is extracted from the image. The extracted characteristic information is compared with standard characteristic information of a preset image, and whether a placement of all the wafers in the wafer cassette is qualified and satisfactory is determined according to a compared result.

  • Patent number: 10824561
    Abstract: A computer device and a data protection method therefor are provided. The computer device includes an embedded controller, a data storage, and a power module. The embedded controller includes a general-purpose input-output port. The data storage is coupled to the embedded controller through the general-purpose input-output port. The power module is coupled to the embedded controller. The embedded controller detects whether an abnormal shutdown event occurs. When the abnormal shutdown event occurs, the embedded controller informs the data storage to perform a buffered data storage operation through the general-purpose input-output port, so as to transfer buffered data in the data storage to a non-volatile storage area in the data storage, and the embedded controller controls the power module to maintain power supply to the data storage in a predetermined time period.

  • Publication number: 20140099647
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for early diagnosis of liver cancer. The method comprises the steps of:(A) providing a sample obtained from a subject; (B) assessing the expression level of four subtypes of ?-mannosidase genes consisting of MAN1C1 in the sample; (C) comparing the expression level of ?-mannosidase genes in the sample with a normal control; and (D) determining whether the subject having a risk of suffering liver cancer in accordance with the result of step (C); wherein while the MAN1C1 expression level of the sample is lower than that in the normal control, the subject is determined to have a risk of suffering liver cancer. Additionally, while MAN1A1, MAN1A2 and MAN1B1 expression levels in the sample are higher than those in control group, the subject is determined to suffer from liver cancer and has a risk of metastasis. In the future, MAN1C1 can be applied to early diagnosis of liver cancer and metastasis, suppression of liver metastasis, and screening agents for treating liver cancer.
