Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method and equipment for saving energy. The method comprises the following steps: the first network node acquires load information of the second network node next to the first and modifies energy saving state according to its own load information and that of said second network node; said first and second network nodes send information on indication for saving energy state to the adjacent third network node and inform the information of modifying energy saving state to said third network node based on said information on indication for saving energy state. Embodiments of the present invention optimize resource utilization rate of the whole network.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, which comprises: forming a plurality of fins on a substrate, which extend along a first direction and have rhombus-like cross-sections; forming a gate stack structure on each fin, which traverses the plurality of fins and extends along a second direction; wherein a portion in each fin that is under the gate stack structure forms a channel region of the device, and portions in each fin that are at both sides of the gate stack structure along the first direction form source and drain regions. The semiconductor device and its manufacturing method according to the present invention use rhombus-like fins to improve the gate control capability to effectively suppress the short channel effect, moreover, an epitaxial quantum well is used therein to better limit the carriers, thus improving the device drive capability.
Abstract:
A change in impedance of a electromechanical resonating sensor is utilized to detect and/or measure a change in mass accumulated on the sensor. The impedance is monitored at a fixed frequency. The fixed frequency may be at or near the resonance frequency of the sensor. In various configurations, the sensor comprises a quartz crystal microbalance sensor or a piezoelectric cantilever sensor.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a semiconductor device, which comprises a substrate, a buffer layer on the substrate, an inversely doped isolation layer on the buffer layer, a barrier layer on the inversely doped isolation layer, a channel layer on the barrier layer, a gate stack structure on the channel layer, and source and drain regions at both sides of the gate stack structure, characterized in that the buffer layer and/or the barrier layer and/or the inversely doped isolation layer are formed of SiGe alloys or SiGeSn alloys, and the channel layer is formed of a GeSn alloy. The semiconductor device according to the present invention uses a quantum well structure of SiGe/GeSn/SiGe to restrict transportation of carriers, and it introduces a stress through lattice mis-match to greatly increase the carrier mobility, thus improving the device driving capability so as to be adapted to high-speed and high-frequency application.
Abstract:
Extremely minute amounts of live pathogens are rapidly detected using a piezoelectric cantilever sensor. A single pathogen is detectable in about 30 minutes. Pathogen-specific antibodies are immobilized on the sensor surface. The sensor is exposed to a medium that potentially contains the target pathogen. When target pathogens are contained in the medium, both dead and live pathogen cells bind to the immobilized antibody on the sensor surface. The attached target pathogen cells are exposed to a pathogen discriminator capable of discriminating between live cells and dead cells by increasing the mass of live cells. Example pathogens include Escherichia coli, Listeri monocytogene, and Salmonella enteritidis. Example antibodies include those that bind to the pathogenic bacteria designated as ATCC 43251, ATCC 700375, and ATCC 31194. Example pathogen discriminators include intracellular pH indicating molecules.
