Abstract:
An image sensor includes a trench formed by a shallow trench isolation (STI) process, a channel stop layer formed over a substrate in the trench, an isolation structure filled in the trench, and a photodiode formed in the substrate adjacent to a sidewall of the trench. In more detail of the image sensor, a trench is formed in a substrate through a STI process, and a channel stop layer is formed over the substrate in the trench. An isolation structure is formed in the trench, and a photodiode is formed in the substrate adjacent to a sidewall of the trench.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a driving method of an inkjet apparatus, includes applying the same driving pulse to a plurality of piezoelectric elements; measuring a discharge speed and a discharge volume of a discharged object which is discharged through a plurality of nozzles; adjusting the discharge speed which comprises comparing the discharge speed and discharge volume of each nozzle with a predetermined reference permissible range to detect nozzle deviations from the reference permissible range, and adjusting the discharge characteristic of the one or more detected nozzles within the reference discharge permissible range.
Abstract:
A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus includes a wafer guide, and a wafer detecting system to determine whether a wafer is properly seated on a hot plate, by detecting temperature variations for the hot plate when the wafer is positioned onto the hot plate.
Abstract:
A vibrating cushion for relieving fatigue and reforming a sleeping position includes a cylindrical sponge carrying three motors. A controller controls the motors to generate vibrations. The cushion includes a frame having open ends with one end of the sponge fixed in the frame. A vessel receiving a battery is inserted into an end of the frame. A cap having a controller input and display covers the vessel. An aromatic case is mounted to the cap and an outer cover covers an inner cover and the frame. Hot or cold packs are detachably mounted to the outer cover. A user lies on his/her side while wrapping arms and legs around the cushion or placing legs on the cushion, whereby the spine becomes straight and blood circulation is improved.
Abstract:
A knife guided cutting board comprised of a base of a cutting board and a knife guiding device. The half round shape of the knife guide device is the place where the end of the knife will be inserted, so the front side of the knife is firmly stationed when the cutting action is engaged. A knife guided cutting board can cut and slice thick and solid food such as fish, meat, and hard vegetables. The apparatus can work with any conventional knife. The knife guide device will guide the motion of the cutting in a confined downward arc movement due to the fact that the end of the knife is resided in the knife guide device, this ensures consistent and safe cutting is achieved because the force applied by the user is evenly distributed in a upward and downward motion guided by this invention.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a stator for an electric water pump may be used for manufacturing the stator used in the electric water pump. In the electric water pump which includes stator assembly for an electric water pump, wherein the stator assembly including a plurality of core-insulator assemblies generates a magnetic field according to a control signal and a rotor is rotated by the magnetic field generated at the stator assembly to pressurize coolant, the method for manufacturing the stator assembly may include a) stacking a plurality of pieces made of a magnetic material to form a core stack, b) molding an insulator to the core stack, c) coiling a coil to the insulator to form a core-insulator assembly so as to form a magnetic path, and d) connecting the respective core-insulator assembly in an annular shape in sequence to form the stator assembly.

Abstract:
Provided herein are microfluidic devices that can be used as a 3D bioassay, e.g., for drug screening, personalized medicine, tissue engineering, wound healing, and other applications. The device has a series of channels {e.g., small fluid channels) in a small polymer block wherein one or more of the channels can be filled with a biologically relevant gel, such as collagen, which is held in place by posts. As shown herein, when the device is plated with cells such as endothelial cells, new blood vessels grow in the gel, which is thick enough for the cells to grow in three dimensions. Other channels, e.g., fluid channels, allow drugs or biological material to be exposed to the 3D cell growth. Cells, such as endothelial cells, can be cultured and observed as they grow on the surface of a 3D gel scaffold, where e.g., rates of angiogenesis can be measured, as well as intervascularization and extravascularization of cancerous cells.
