A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device contact including forming an insulating layer over a substrate and forming an agglutinating layer over the insulating layer. The agglutinating layer is then exposed to a plasma treatment. A barrier layer is formed over the plasma-treated agglutinating layer, and a conductive layer is formed over the barrier layer.

A method and an apparatus for detecting gas concentration with infrared absorption characteristics have the function of automatic calibration. The function of automatic calibration is accomplished in such a manner that a reference chamber filled with CO2 gas of a known concentration is added in the apparatus; by switching the reference chamber in real-time or periodically into the detecting light path, the measured value of the concentration of CO2 gas in the reference chamber can be obtained; then by comparing the measured value with the standard value of known concentration of CO2 gas, the calibration factor is obtained; once finishing the calibration process, a detecting chamber is switched into the detecting light path so that a concentration of a gas can be detected accurately. In the apparatus of the present invention, the same detecting light path (e.g. the infrared light source, and the light filter, etc.), the same infrared light signal processing unit (e.g. the infrared sensor, the amplification circuit and the single-chip microcomputer system, etc.) are used for both the calibration process and the detection process. Therefore, the negative effect caused by difference of the characteristics of temperature drift of circuit components between different light paths in prior art can be eliminated, and the errors in the detected results by using the apparatus in the present invention is greatly reduced. In addition, the structure of the apparatus in the present invention is relatively simple, resulting in the lower production cost and no necessity for the manual maintenance.

Techniques for adapting a virtual keyboard for multilingual input are disclosed. By way of example, a method of adapting a virtual keyboard for multilingual input includes the steps of detecting an input language and displaying a virtual keyboard corresponding to the input language upon detection of the input language. The identifying step may include automatic identification of an input language, such as by one or more language recognition modules, or it may include manual selection of an input language and activation of at least one language recognition module operative to recognize at least the input language upon selection of the input language.

A method and system for object detection using a probabilistic boosting cascade tree (PBCT) is disclosed. A PBCT is a machine learning based classifier having a structure that is driven by training data and determined during the training process without user input. In a PBCT training method, for each node in the PBCT, a classifier is trained for the node based on training data received at the node. The performance of the classifier trained for the node is then evaluated based on the training data. Based on the performance of the classifier, the node is set to either a cascade node or a tree node. If the performance indicates that the data is relatively easy to classify, the node can be set as a cascade node. If the performance indicates that the data is relatively difficult to classify, the node can be set as a tree node. The trained PBCT can then be used to detect objects or classify data. For example, a trained PBCT can be used to detect lymph nodes in CT volume data.
摘要:
When pulse charging is performed in an overcharge state or an overdischarge state in a charge and discharge control circuit and a battery device, a problem in that a pseudo overcurrent phenomenon occurs repeatedly to hinder normal operations of the charge and discharge control circuit and the battery device is addressed, thereby providing a safe battery device. Thus, there are provided a charge and discharge control circuit and a battery device having a structure in which charge overcurrent detection in the overcharge state and discharge overcurrent detection in the overdischarge state are invalidated.

A method for determining the hematocrit and/or blood volume during an extracorporeal blood treatment with an extracorporeal blood circuit, in which blood is taken with a blood pump via an arterial cannula and an arterial flexible-tube line and blood is fed back via a venous flexible-tube line and a venous cannula. Pressure is measured in the extracorporeal blood circuit and a change in the hematocrit is determined from a change in the pressure. The respective relationship between hematocrit HKT or blood volume RBV and pressure P in the extracorporeal circuit is stored for various cannula diameters and various blood-flow values. The respective relationship for a given cannula diameter and blood flow is selected. The hematocrit and/or blood volume is determined taking account of the selected relationship.

Assays are provided for the screening and classification of biologically active agents that alter the conformation of conformationally defective proteins. The methods of the invention find use in the identification and classification of agents with chaperone activity, particularly the identification and classification of small molecule chemical and pharmacological chaperones. The agents thus identified find use altering the conformation of otherwise conformationally defective proteins.

A method for synchronizing the contact information, which is applied in the synchronization between a wireless exchange device and a communication device. Both the wireless exchange devices and the communication devices have a synchronization software, respectively. The synchronization software allows the wireless exchange device and the communication device to be set as a transmitter or a receiver interchangeably, and it also allows a keyword searching, multiple entries, or the entire database of contact information to be sent from the transmitter to the receiver. In addition, the synchronization software also provides a verification process to ensure the contact information is only sent to the authorized device. Therefore, the receiver can obtain the contact information stored in a contact database of the transmitter, thus achieving the aim of updating the contact databases.
