Abstract:
An electronic device is disclosed which includes a housing including a first surface facing in a first direction and a second surface facing in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction, a display disposed between the first surface and the second surface, at least a part of the display being exposed through the first surface, a pressure sensor disposed between the display and the second surface and detecting pressure of an external object applied on the display, and a processor electrically connected with the display and the pressure sensor. If a touch input of a specified pressure intensity or more is made by the external object in any region on the display, the processor activates at least one virtual function key operating in common with respect to any screens to be displayed in the display.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a touchscreen display, a pressure sensor positioned to sense external pressure against the display, a fingerprint sensor positioned to detect a fingerprint on at least a portion of the display, a processor electrically coupled to the display, the pressure sensor, and the fingerprint sensor, and a memory electrically coupled to the processor, in which the memory stores at least one registered fingerprint. The processor is configured to sense pressure of a user's finger against the display using the pressure sensor, upon sensing of the pressure, activate the fingerprint sensor, detect a fingerprint of the finger using the fingerprint sensor, determine whether the detected fingerprint is matched with any of the at least one registered fingerprint, and perform a preselected function without further requiring authentication, when the detected fingerprint is matched with any of the at least one registered fingerprint.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for analyzing ultra-low level concentration nanoparticles in semiconductor cleaning chemicals by single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) are described. In aspects, the methods described herein include determination factors that are specific to each of the chemical matrix and the type of analyte associated with the nanoparticles present in a fluid sample for both a particle baseline intensity value and a nanoparticle detection threshold.

Abstract:
An electronic device includes a housing, a display, a touch sensor sensing a touch of an external object, a force sensor sensing pressure by the touch, and a processor that is electrically connected with the display. The touch sensor, the force sensor and a memory are electrically connected with the processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to activate at least part of the force sensor while the display is turned off, or while the display operates in a low-power mode, to perform a first function if pressure of a first level by the touch is sensed in the at least part of the force sensor. The processor also performs a second function associated with the first function if pressure of a second level by the touch is sensed in the force sensor while the first function is performed.
