    摘要: A layout of original pattern is rotated in a rotational direction to form a layout of rotation pattern. Vertices and segment points of the layout of rotation pattern are matched with ones of the reference points closest thereto, and the matched reference points are connected to form a layout of first modification pattern. A region of the layout of first modification pattern is enlarged to form a layout of second modification pattern. A layout of reference pattern having the same direction as the layout of rotation pattern is formed. A layout of target pattern is formed based on a region where the layouts of reference pattern and second modification pattern overlap. An optical proximity correction is performed on the layout of target pattern to form a layout of third modification pattern, which is rotated in a reverse rotational direction to form a layout of final pattern.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides an electronic device and methods for operating the electronic device. The electronic device may include: a housing having a coupling member removably attachable to an ear of a user; one or more microphones provided within the housing and configured to detect an external sound; at least one speaker provided within the housing; at least one communication circuit within the housing; a processor provided within the housing and electrically coupled to the one or more microphones, the at least one speaker, and the at least one communication circuit; and at least one memory provided within the housing, and electrically coupled to the processor. The memory may store instructions that cause, when executed, the processor to receive the detected external sound from the one or more microphones, to identify an direction of the external sound in relation to the user, to determine whether the direction of the external sound is within a predefined range, and to extract at least a portion of the external sound for further processing when the direction of the external sound is within the predefined range.

    摘要: A method of operating a data processing system includes transmitting process information indicating that a first process is classified as a critical process or a non-critical process to a kernel area, wherein the process information is generated in an application area, and the application area and the kernel area define a host. When the first process is classified as a critical process based on the process information, a first fastpath write signal is provided, using the kernel area, to a memory system to perform a fastpath write operation of first data for performing the first process. When the first process is classified as a non-critical process, a first slowpath write signal is provided to the memory system to perform a slowpath write operation of the first data. The fastpath write operation has a higher write speed than the slowpath write operation.
