Abstract:
Systems and methods for enhancing spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT] are provided. In particular, a system and method for calibration of spectral interference signals using an acquired calibration signal are provided. The calibration signal may be logarithmically amplified to further improve the accuracy of the calibration. From the calibration signal, a series of more accurate calibration data are calculated. An acquired spectral interference signal is calibrated using these calibration data. Moreover, systems that include logarithmic amplification of the spectral interference signal and variable band-pass filtering of the spectral interference signal are provided. Such systems increase the dynamic range and visualization capabilities relative to conventional spectral domain OCT systems.
Abstract:
Semiconductor devices are provided including an active layer, a gate structure, a spacer, and a source/drain layer. The active layer is on the substrate and includes germanium. The active layer includes a first region having a first germanium concentration, and a second region on both sides of the first region. The second region has a top surface getting higher from a first portion of the second region adjacent to the first region toward a second portion of the second region far from the first region, and has a second germanium concentration less than the first germanium concentration. The gate structure is formed on the first region of the active layer. The spacer is formed on the second region of the active layer, and contacts a sidewall of the gate structure. The source/drain layer is adjacent to the second region of the active layer.
Abstract:
A UE receives HSDPA traffic comprising legacy HSDPA traffic and HS-SCCH-less HSDPA traffic. The UE concurrently processes the received legacy HSDPA traffic and the received HS-SCCH-less HSDPA traffic. The received HSDPA traffic is concurrently buffered into a first storage and a second storage to support simultaneously receiving legacy HSDPA traffic and HS-SCCH-less HSDPA traffic. A HARQ process is performed on the buffered HSDPA traffic in the first storage or the second storage according to a corresponding HS-SCCH CRC test. The resulting HARQ processed HSDPA traffic is Turbo decoded. Turbo decoding on the previously HARQ processed HSDPA traffic is performed simultaneously with HARQ processing on the buffered HSDPA traffic in the first storage or the second storage. The buffered HS-SCCH-less HSDPA traffic is processed via HARQ processing and Turbo decoding for each of the four pre-determined transport formats.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a low-temperature-resistant fluorine-containing elastomer formed through polymerization of the comonomers: 40-80 mol % 1,1-vinylidene fluoride, 2-10 mol % tetrafluoroethylene, 10-30 mol % perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether), and 1-10 mol % vulcanization monomer. The present invention further provides a preparation method of the fluorine-containing elastomer. In the present invention, on basis of a large number of experiments, the contents of the comonomers of the fluorine-containing elastomer are adjusted, so that the low temperature performance thereof is significantly improved, and the low-temperature retraction temperature TR-10

Abstract:
Various embodiments are directed towards suppressing inter-cell and intra-cell interference. In some embodiments, an intra-cell interference signal for a specified rake finger is received. An inter-cell interference signal is received. The intra-cell interference signals upstream of a chip-level equalizer are suppressed. The inter-cell interference signals upstream of the chip-level equalizer are suppressed.
Abstract:
An electric motor has an end cap assembly comprising: a base and a cover. The base has a first chamber configured to receive a commutator, a second chamber configured to receive electronic components, and brush boxes having passages configured to receive brushes. The first chamber and the second chamber are respectively formed on opposite sides of the base. The passages of the brush boxes open into the first chamber to allow the brushes to slidably contact a commutator disposed therein. The cover is fixed to the base and covers the second chamber.
Abstract:
A method and system for automatically refining information extraction (IE) rules. A provenance graph for IE rules on a set of test documents is determined. The provenance graph indicates a sequence of evaluations of the IE rules that generates an output of each operator of the IE rules. Based on the provenance graph, high-level rule changes (HLCs) of the IE rules are determined. Low-level rule changes (LLCs) of the IE rules are determined to specify how to implement the HLCs. Each LLC specifies changing an operator's structure or inserting a new operator in between two operators. Based on how the LLCs affect the IE rules and previously received correct results of applying the rules on the test documents, a ranked list of the LLCs is determined. The IE rules are refined based on the ranked list.
Abstract:
Methods, compositions and articles of manufacture involving soluble conjugated polymers are provided. The conjugated polymers have a sufficient density of polar substituents to render them soluble in a polar medium, for example water and/or methanol. The conjugated polymer may desirably comprise monomers which alter its conductivity properties. In some embodiments, the inventors have provided cationic conjugated polymers (CCPs) comprising both solubilizing groups and conductive groups, resulting in conductive conjugated polymers soluble in polar media. The different solubility properties of these polymers allow their deposition in solution in multilayer formats with other conjugated polymers. Also provided are articles of manufacture comprising multiple layers of conjugated polymers having differing solubility characteristics. Embodiments of the invention are described further herein.
