Abstract:
Existing art sealed windows containing internal blind or louver structures are improved by replacing existing drawstring controls with a slider mechanism. Not only is this improved slider mechanism lower in profile, thereby facilitating a greater use with respect to sliding windows and other applications, the configuration is aesthetically appealing, and eliminates the problems and hazards that might be associated with drawstring-based solutions.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a multi-channel optical attenuator having a Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) structure for controlling a light path by waveguides and manufacturing method thereof. In this optical attenuator, a bonding medium layer of polymer is used to bond an actuator structure and a support structure. A silicon layer is provided with waveguides for transmitting optical signals from an optical signal transmission line and an activator formed at a predetermined portion thereof. The waveguides are inserted into cavities of the bonding medium layer. A support layer is attached to the bonding medium layer at an opposite face to a face where the bonding medium layer is bonded with a silicon substrate.
Abstract:
A process for removing dopant ions from a semiconductor substrate includes exposing the substrate to a non-aqueous organic solvent in liquid and/or vapor form.
Abstract:
A multiprocessor computer system comprises a dragonfly processor interconnect network that comprises a plurality of processor nodes and a plurality of routers. The routers are operable to adaptively route data by selecting from among a plurality of network paths from a target node to a destination node in the dragonfly network based on one or more of network congestion information from neighboring routers and failed network link information from neighboring routers.
Abstract:
A method of switching a digital TV application is disclosed. In accordance with the method of the present invention, a channel changing event corresponding to a changing of a channel is used to minimize a time required for providing the digital TV application suitable for a changed channel.
Abstract:
A method for providing a channel service is disclosed. In accordance with the present invention, a fixed information including a BUMF information, an SF information and a playlist information and a variable information including a clip information associated with a streaming data of a selected channel service are transmitted to a playback apparatus supporting a BD-J specification, thereby enabling a Blu-ray player incapable of playing the streaming data to provide viewers with the streaming data of the channel service.
Abstract:
A method of selling and buying online, the method comprising: receiving from sellers information for creating sale listings for goods; displaying the sale listings to potential buyers; at sale, automatic purchasing and printing by the web platform of a first, prepaid and seller-addressed shipping label based on the shipping-from information previously provided to the web platform by the seller and the weight of an appropriately sized shipping box for the purchased good, and of a second, prepaid, and buyer-addressed shipping label based on the shipping-from information provided by the seller, the shipping-to information provided by the buyer, the weight of the purchased good, and the size of the appropriately sized shipping box; shipping to the seller of the purchased good, using the first shipping label, the appropriately sized shipping box and the second shipping label, for the seller to place the purchased good in the appropriately sized shipping box and ship it to the buyer using the second shipping label.
Abstract:
A method for providing a progressive download service for a playback apparatus supporting a BD-J specification is disclosed. In accordance with the present invention, a standby time and a communication overhead necessary for receiving and playing a A/V data by a playback apparatus supporting a BD-J specification are minimized by dividing and playing a first clip and a second clip according to a size of clips.
