This research presents a genetic variant discovery SoC for analyzing Next-generation sequencing data which is embedded with the processorconnected with some peripherals. With hardware-optimized algorithm sBWT, we greatly speed up the process of short reads mapping by k-ordered FM-indexsuffix grouping. After short reads mapping, we utilized de bruijn graph for sequence assembly to rebuild haplotypes,built haplotypes are compared to the reference genome to detect genome variations. The detected variations are written to files for further clinical diagnosisresearch analysis.

Based on the mass production technique to fabricate 2D materials developed by our group, efficient gas sensors against NOx with sensitivity of 100 ppb are successfully demonstrated. In comparison to international competitors, our products exhibit superior sensitivityselectivity. Furthermore, the technique would be extended to other 2D materials to fabricate various gas sensors against multiple target gases. The integration with internet of things would then open new feasibilities for early monitoring in environmental pollutionhuman safety.

iTech has developed an Innovative Wireless Positioning&Tracking System. iShield can simultaneously detect drones & operators. iPosition tracks thousands of targets indoor. iFollow is an auto-following function for smart droids.

We proposed a dynamic-key secure DFT structure that can generate the keys dynamicallydefend scan-basedmemory attacks without decreasing the system performancethe testability. Analysis results show that our method can achieve a very high security levelthe security level will not decrease no matter how many times the attacker guesses due to the dynamic characteristic of our method.

This demonstration presents an active-matrix, 1920x1080, 370 nm UV MicroLED display. There are 2,073,600 pixels fabricated on this display which is smaller than a dollar coin,its diagonal has an extremely high pixel density of 3200 pixels per inch (ppi). The size of each pixel is 5 μm in diameter,the pixel pitch is 8 μm. The key technology of this achievement lies in the fabrication of pixels with good characteristicshigh uniformity,the successful development of flip-chip technology combining MicroLEDdriving integrated circuit pixels. This result can display imagesvideos.
