Abstract:
A scanning control device for a capacitive touch panel uses voltage driving/current detecting circuits to connect to a top conductive layer of the touch panel. Output terminals of all voltage driving/current detecting units are connected to a signal processing unit through a switching unit. Output data of the signal processing unit are output to a central control unit. If the touch panel is pressed, all voltage driving/current detecting circuits detect current values at four corners of the top conductive layer and sequentially output the current values to the signal processing unit. The processed data output from the signal processing unit are transmitted to the central control unit. Based on the received data, the central control unit calculates coordinate of a pressed point on the touch panel.
Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory array has a single transistor flash memory cell and a two transistor EEPROM memory cell which maybe integrated on the same substrate. The nonvolatile memory cell has a floating gate with a low coupling coefficient to permit a smaller memory cell. The floating gate placed over a tunneling insulation layer, the floating gate is aligned with edges of the source region and the drain region and having a width defined by a width of the edges of the source the drain. The floating gate and control gate have a relatively small coupling ratio of less than 50% to allow scaling of the nonvolatile memory cells. The nonvolatile memory cells are programmed with channel hot electron programming and erased with Fowler Nordheim tunneling at relatively high voltages.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for describing image content establish image description records which include an object set (24), an object hierarchy (26) and entity relation graphs (28). For image content, image objects can include global objects (O0 8) and local objects (O1 2 and O2 6). The image objects are further defined by a number of features of different classes (36, 38 and 40), which in turn are further defined by a number of feature descriptors. The relationships between and among the objects in the object set are defined by the object hierarchy (26) and entity relation graphs (28). The image description records provide a standard vehicle for describing the content and context of image information for subsequent access and processing by computer applications such as search engines, filters, and archive systems.
Abstract:
A combination EEPROM and Flash memory is described containing cells in which the stacked gate transistor of the Flash cell is used in conjunction with a select transistor to form an EEPROM cell. The select transistor is made sufficiently small so as to allow the EEPROM cells to accommodate the bit line pitch of the Flash cell, which facilitates combining the two memories into memory banks containing both cells. The EEPROM cells are erased by byte while the Flash cells erased by block. The small select transistor has a small channel length and width, which is compensated by increasing gate voltages on the select transistor and pre-charge bitline during CHE program operation.

Abstract:
A novel, low-temperature metal deposition method which is suitable for depositing a metal film on a substrate, such as in the fabrication of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors, is disclosed. The method includes depositing a metal film on a substrate using a deposition temperature of less than typically about 270 degrees C. The resulting metal film is characterized by enhanced thickness uniformity and reduced grain agglomeration which otherwise tends to reduce the operational integrity of a capacitor or other device of which the metal film is a part. Furthermore, the metal film is characterized by intrinsic breakdown voltage (Vbd) improvement.

Abstract:
A shock isolation structure applied in an optical disc drive is provided. The shock isolation structure includes a bottom portion, a top portion, and a neck portion jointing the bottom portion and the top portion. The portions have a through hole running through the top surface of the top portion and the bottom surface of the bottom portion along a run-through central line. In the neck portion, any ring-shaped cross section using the run-through central line as the normal has a first wall thickness on a first extension line starting from the run-through central line and extending towards the outer peripheral of the ring-shaped cross section, and has a second wall thickness on a second extension line starting from the run-through central line and extending towards the outer peripheral of the ring-shaped cross section. The first wall thickness is larger than the second wall thickness.

A method and system for preliminary data processing before printing is disclosed. The steps executed by said system comprises: dividing a page into a plurality of bands including a Mth band and a (M+1)th band; converting a color format of the Mth band; transferring the Mth band to a printer for storing, and converting the color format of the (M+1)th band in the period of transferring the Mth band; and printing the Mth band, wherein the printing does not start until the printer receives 50%-100% bands. During the printing, the color format of the residual bands continues to convert and the converted residual bands continue to transfer to the printer until the page is finished printing.
