Abstract:
A method of performing overlay error correction includes forming a photoresist layer over a substrate and exposing a first set of apertures to incident radiation. The method also includes determining an overlay error associated with the first set of apertures and determining an overlay correction as a function of the determined overlay error. The method further includes exposing a data area and a second set of apertures. The data area and the second set of apertures are exposed based, in part, on the determined overlay correction. Moreover, the method includes verifying the determined overlay correction.
Abstract:
A device for playing audio clips, a method of playing audio clips and a data storage medium having stored thereon computer code means for instructing a computer system to execute a method of playing audio clips. The device comprising a processor scalable in voltage, frequency, or both; a switch for selecting one of a plurality of output modes of the device; and a controller for controlling the processor to decode input joint/MS stereo mode encoded audio data representing said audio clip based on the selected output mode; wherein each output mode defines a number, m, of subbands of an M channel and a number, s, of subbands of an S channel of the joint/MS stereo mode encoded data; and the controller controls the processor to decode and store only data from the m and s subbands for playback.
Abstract:
A method of decoding audio data representing an audio clip, said method comprising the steps of selecting one of a predetermined number of frequency bands; decoding a portion of the audio data representing said audio clip according to the selected frequency band, wherein a remaining portion of the audio data representing said audio clip is discarded; and converting the decoded portion of audio data into sample data representing the decoded audio data.
Abstract:
Techniques and technologies for routing communications based on Quality of Service (QOS) related information. More particularly, this document discloses techniques and technologies for selecting communications paths which partially overlap other communication paths for which QOS related information has been measured. The techniques and technologies include determining, performance levels for path segments within the communication paths from the measured QOS information.
Abstract:
A resonator includes a CMOS substrate having a first electrode and a second electrode. The CMOS substrate is configured to provide one or more control signals to the first electrode. The resonator also includes a resonator structure including a silicon material layer. The resonator structure is coupled to the CMOS substrate and configured to resonate in response to the one or more control signals.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a tubular fabric with strengthened fabric structure, formed from interlaced warp yarns and weft yarns where at least one of the warp yarns is spandex yarn. The tubular fabric is characterized in that the spandex yarn accounts for 6%-12% of the total fabric weight, the spandex yarn has a floating line on the inner wall surface not shorter than 3 weft yarns, and the weft density is between 14-30% weft/cm. Due the special weaving structure, which results in the long floating line of the spandex yarn, the resulting tubular fabric have a large amount of spandex yarns covering its inner wall surface, thereby enhancing its strength and effectively prevent perforation by the steel wire.
Abstract:
Thin-film bulk acoustic resonators include a resonator body (e.g., silicon body), a bottom electrode on the resonator body and a piezoelectric layer on the bottom electrode. At least one top electrode is also provided on the piezoelectric layer. In order to inhibit process-induced variations in material layer thicknesses from significantly affecting a desired resonant frequency of the resonator, the top and bottom electrodes are fabricated to have a combined thickness that is proportional to a target thickness of the piezoelectric layer extending between the top and bottom electrodes.
Abstract:
Micro-electromechanical acoustic resonators include a resonator body suspended over a substrate. The resonator body may have a single perforation therein, which may extend substantially or completely therethrough. The resonator body may also be configured to have a center-of-mass within an interior of the perforation and/or a nodal line that overlaps the perforation. A perimeter and depth of the single perforation can be configured to reduce a susceptibility of the acoustic resonator to process-induced variations in resonant frequency relative to an otherwise equivalent resonator that omits the single perforation. In other embodiments, the resonator body may have multiple perforations therein that extend along a nodal line of the resonator.
Abstract:
The invention provides the mutants and coding genes of trichosanthin (TCS). The mutants thereof are the TCS mutants with the single or double alternation of tyrosine-55 and aspartate-78 (counted from N-terminus), wherein the tyrosine-55 is mutated to an aliphatic amino acid and aspartate-78 is mutated to an amino acid with low hydrophilicity. This invention also relates to the application of TCS mutants and their coding genes in the drug development to treat carcinoma, AIDS and other diseases.
