Abstract:
Disclosed are apparatus and methods for providing a bidding mechanism for guaranteed delivery contracts. In one embodiment, a method includes (i) providing a plurality of bid parameters that were updated based on a current delivery and/or a running cost per impression for such guaranteed delivery contract; (ii) if the advertisement impression is eligible to serve the guaranteed delivery contract, determining whether to submit a bid for the advertisement impression for the guaranteed delivery contract based on one or more of the bid parameters; and (iii) if it is determined that a bid is to be submitted for the guaranteed delivery contract, submitting a bid for the advertisement impression for the guaranteed delivery contract so that a bid amount is selected to be limited by one or more of the bid parameters.

A support assembly for a digital photo frame is provided. The support assembly comprises a base member, a pivot member, a support arm, a positioning structure, and a an elastic member. The base member comprises two side walls spaced from each other. The support arm comprises a connection end disposed between the two side walls and is rotatably attached to the base member via the pivot member. The connection end comprises a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. The pivot member is attached across the two side walls. The positioning structure is disposed on the first surface and the side wall opposite the first surface and comprises a projection portion and at least two concave portions. The projection portion is capable of being received in the at least two concave portions, the two concave portions intersect to form an edge.
Abstract:
A digital lock detector for a phase-locked loop. The PLL generates a feedback clock according to a reference clock. The digital lock detector includes a match detector and an arbiter. When a first clock transitions, the match detector checks that whether a second clock transitions in a predetermined time window or not. The match detector generates a match signal if the second clock transitions in the predetermined time window. The arbiter counts a number of the successive match signals and generates a lock signal to indicate a lock state when the number exceeds a first predetermined number.
Abstract:
A transmission system includes two or more independent chambers, in each of which shafts with gears thereon are provided for rolling in synchronous motion, and a carrier with adjustable gear devices on a bottom thereof. Each of the adjustable gear devices has a base, a movable rack member, vertical springs and horizontal springs. The movable rack member is connected to the base to be moved along a horizontal direction. The vertical springs are provided between the base and the carrier to urge the adjustable gear device along a vertical direction. The movable rack member has a rack portion to be meshed with the gears of the shafts, such that the carrier is moved by the gears to cross the chambers. With the movement of the movable rack member both along the horizontal and the vertical direction, the carrier is transported in a smooth, synchronous, skid-proof, stable and real-time motion during the crossing chamber process.
Abstract:
A child safety seat includes a seat body, a headrest mechanism, an illumination device, and a power supply device. The headrest mechanism is connected to the seat body. The headrest mechanism includes a main body and a side wing. The side wing is movably connected to the main body. The illumination device is disposed on the side wing. The power supply device is electrically connected to the illumination device and is disposed separating from the side wing. The power supply device is used for providing electrical power to drive the illumination device to emit light.
Abstract:
A frame extender (10) for attachment to a siderail (14) and to a front cross member (16A) of a vehicle frame (12) having a centerline (C) includes a first portion (52) generally parallel with and attached to the siderail. The frame extender (10) also includes a second portion (66) extending generally transversely from the first portion (52) and outwardly from the centerline (C), and a third portion (80) extending from the second portion and generally parallel to the siderail (14). The first portion (52), the second portion (66) and the third portion (80) are formed as a single component.
Abstract:
A method for analyzing a sample for the manufacture of integrated circuits, e.g., dynamic random access memory device, commonly called, DRAMS. The method also provides an integrated chip including a thickness, a width, and a length. In a specific embodiment, the integrated chip has at least one elongated structure through a portion of the thickness, while being normal to the width and the length. In a specific embodiment, the elongated structure has a structure width and a structure length that extends through a vertical portion of the thickness. The method includes removing a slice of the integrated circuit chip from a portion of the thickness in a directional manner normal to the structure length. In a specific embodiment, the slice is provided through an entirety of the one elongated structure along the structure length to cause a portion of a thickness of the slice providing the elongated structure to be of a substantially uniform sample thickness. The method also includes capturing one or more images through a portion of the slice using a transmission electron
Abstract:
A nitrogen-free anti-reflective layer for use in semiconductor photolithography is fabricated in a chemical vapor deposition process, optionally plasma-enhanced, using a gaseous mixture of carbon, silicon, and oxygen sources. By varying the process parameters, a substantially hermetic layer with acceptable values of the refractive index n and extinction coefficient k can be obtained. The nitrogen-free moisture barrier anti-reflective layer produced by this technique improves plasma etch of features such as vias in subsequent processing steps.
Abstract:
The system includes a circuit board, a semiconductor module, a heat dissipator, and at least one thermal via. The circuit board has substantially flat opposing first and second sides. The semiconductor module includes multiple semiconductor devices. The semiconductor module is oriented substantially parallel to the circuit board near the first side, while the heat dissipator is disposed near the second side. The thermal via extends through the circuit board to thermally couple the semiconductor module to the heat dissipator, which may be a heat spreader, heat sink, cooling fan, or heat pipe.
Abstract:
A video security system having a server and a video terminal device includes: at least one database for storing network and physical configuration information relating to the terminal device operable to remotely communicate with the server through a distributed network; and one or multiple storage servers for storing video data received from the terminal devices.A method of managing a video terminal device involves: assigning a unique device ID to the video terminal device; sending an event and an associated video stream from the video terminal device to the Server; and storing the event and the associated video stream into a database and a storage server in association with the unique device ID.Another method involves: creating a user account on a Server; selecting services for associating with the devices; allocating storage server space for storing video data stream files; and making available to the user stored video files.
