Abstract:
A method for forming pattern on substrate comprises steps of: providing a metal substrate; amorphousizing the metal substrate to from an amorphous pattern layer in the metal substrate; etching the metal substrate and forming an etching portion in the surface of the metal substrate which is not covered with the amorphous pattern layer. The article manufactured by the method is also provided.
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for generating statistical views in a database system. In one embodiment, a request is received to execute a database workload. One or more constraints pertaining to executing the database workload is retrieved. The database workload is evaluated to generate multiple statistical view candidates. The statistical view candidates are refined based on the one or more constraints. One or more statistical views are then generated based on the refined statistical view candidates.
Abstract:
A device housing includes a substrate and a decorative article formed in the substrate. The substrate defines a cutout therein and the decorative article is received in the cutout and bonded with the substrate. The decorative article is a glass article which is formed in the cutout by molding softened glass material into the cutout. A method for making the device housing is also provided.
Abstract:
A method for making a housing of an electronic device includes applying a layer of ceramic powder material to an outer surface of a metal substrate. The layer of ceramic powder material and a top layer of the metal substrate are melted by laser irradiation, forming a ceramic-metal composite coating integrally bonding with the metal substrate when cooled. The substrate with the ceramic-metal composite coating is heated to a peak temperature, maintained at the peak temperature for a desired period of time, and then cooled down to room temperature. The heat treated metal substrate with the ceramic-metal composite coating is then formed into a desired shape.
Abstract:
A housing includes a metal substrate having an outer surface and a color layer formed on the outer surface. The outer surface has a gradient surface roughness across at least one dimension of the outer surface. The color layer has a surface appearance corresponding with the outer surface, thereby the brightness of color of the color layer gradually changing with the location on the outer surface. A method for making the housing is also provided.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit device layout and a method for detecting mask data handling errors are disclosed in which integrated circuit device layout includes a device region in which operable circuitry is disposed. Integrated circuit device layout also includes a verification region in which verification elements are disposed. The verification elements include cells that are duplicates of at least some of the different types of cells in device region and can include structures that are duplicates of at least some of the types of structures in the device region. The patterns in verification region are used in the final verification process to identify mask data handling errors in a mask job deck. Because the patterns in verification region are easy to locate and identify, the time required to perform the final verification process is reduced and the chance of error in the final verification process is reduced.

The ambient-temperature self-curable fluorine containing aqueous-based PU dispersion includes water, an ambient temperature cross-linking agent and a fluorine containing PU resin dispersed in water phase. The fluorine containing PU resin includes A includes octa-fluoropentanol, hexafluoroisopropanol, trifluoroethanol, tetrafluoropropanol or trifluoroethylamine.Treated fabric with the self-cured fluorine containing aqueous-based PU resin and it becomes a long-lasting water-repellent and stain-proof.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to techniques for controlling a device to perform a function, for example, window washing. A controller device may be adapted to control a controlled device. In response to hand movement, an accelerometer in the controller may obtain acceleration and/or angle signals. The signals may be processed in order to identify a command that may be used to control the controlled device. The controlled device may be secured to, for example, a window. Upon identifying command(s) initiated from the controller device, the controlled device may respond to the commands. The controlled device may include, for example, a cleaning unit. The command(s) may be instructions for the controlled device to move about the window and activate the cleaning system.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a phase calibration method, device, and equipment. The method comprises the steps of: a first light beam emitter generating a first light-wave into a target object, the first light-wave being reflected at the target object and flying back onto a receiver, wherein the first light-wave, as an external beam path signal, is modulated by a first high-frequency oscillation signal; a second light beam emitter emitting a second light-wave into the receiver, wherein the second light-wave, as an internal beam path signal for fundamental phase reference, is modulated by a second high-frequency oscillation signal; and the receiver performing a phase comparison between received first light-wave and sequentially received second light-wave therein and exporting a measurement signal with fundamental reference eliminated. The present method achieves phase compensation and calibration, thereby reducing the influence of environmental elements, increasing measuring precision, and thus reducing system cost.
