A backlight module (30) includes a light guide plate and a light source (210). The light guide plate includes a light incident surface, and a light diffusion cavity (308) disposed corresponding to the light incident surface. The light source is disposed adjacent to the light incident surface. One of surfaces (309) of the light guide plate defining the light diffusion cavity includes a plurality of prism structures, the surface being the one nearest to the light incident surface. Most of the light from the light source can be diffused uniformly by the prism structures before entering an efficient display area of the light guide plate. This reduces or eliminates what would otherwise be one or more dark areas in the light guide plate, and results in the uniform emitting of light from the light guide plate.

Isolated peptide sequences and proteins containing these sequences are provided which are useful in the prevention and treatment of infection caused by Gram-positive bacteria. The peptide sequences have been shown to be highly conserved motifs in the surface proteins of Gram-positive bacteria, and these consensus sequences include amino acid sequences such as LPXTG (SEQ ID NO:13), ALKTGKIDIIISGMTSTPERKK (SEQ ID NO:14), VEGAVVEKPVAEAYLKQN (SEQ ID NO:15), and EYAGVDIDLAKKIAK (SEQ ID NO:16). By virtue of the highly conserved regions, the sequences and the proteins including these sequences can be utilized to generate antibodies which can recognize these highly conserved motifs and the proteins containing them and thus be useful in the treatment or prevention of a wide range of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria.

摘要:
A method of fabricating an anti-fuse module and dual damascene interconnect structure comprises the following steps. A semiconductor structure having at least two exposed metal lines covered by a first dielectric layer is provided. A first metal line is within an anti-fuse area and a second metal line is within an interconnect area. A first metal via is formed within the first dielectric layer within the anti-fuse area with the first metal via contacting the first metal line. A SiN layer is deposited over the first dielectric layer and the first metal via. The SiN layer is patterned to form at least two openings. A first opening exposes the first metal via, and a second opening exposes a portion of the first dielectric layer above the second metal line. A fusing element layer is deposited and patterned over the patterned SiN layered structure to form a fusing element over the first metal via. Simultaneously, an anti-fuse metal line is formed over the fusing element to form an anti-fuse module within the anti-fuse area, and a dual damascene interconnect is formed over, and contacting with, the second metal line and within the interconnect area.

Clustering a plurality of client devices running an application as a function of a data structure such that the plurality of client devices are each assigned a cluster. Client devices having similar performance metrics are assigned the same cluster. An operation of the application is modified as a function of the performance metrics of the client device. The modification of application operation is performed by turning certain features of the application on and off using a rule based on device cluster.

The invention discloses a novel projector, comprising a sealed shell of electronic projector, an illumination system and a LED light source system, wherein the sealed shell is provided with an optical and internal circulation cooling assembly inside by area; the optical assembly comprises the projector working assembly. The invention is inside a sealed shell; the cold air far below normal temperature generated by semiconductor refrigeration piece takes away the heat on optical device, improving the heat dissipation efficiency. Simultaneously, because the cold air is inside a sealed shell, the optical device can be placed in a dust-free environment. The polarized light conversion prism converts the useless P light in conventional projector imagining into the useful S light, improving the light utilization, and increasing the brightness of projection at the same power. The LED light source is collimated by the collimating lens to meet PCS conversion requirement for polarized light converter.

A word-line voltage regulating circuit and a single power supply memory are disclosed. The word-line voltage regulating circuit includes: a charge pump for raising an input voltage to a desired value and outputting the raised input voltage as an output voltage; a controller for inputting a refresh signal to the charge pump according to the output voltage of the charge pump; and a comparator for inputting a feedback signal to the charge pump according to a comparison result between the output voltage of the charge pump and a reference voltage. The charge pump works under control of the refresh signal when the memory is in an active mode, and works under control of the feedback signal when the memory is in a standby mode. The word-line voltage regulating circuit can effectively reduce the power consumption and can meet the requirement for proportional scale-down of integrated circuits.

A bioinformatic method for identifying and isolating proteins and peptides with MSCRAMM®-like characteristics from Gram positive bacteria, such as Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Bacillus bacteria, and proteins and peptides obtained thereby are provided which can be utilized in methods to prevent and treat infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. The method involves identifying from sequence information those proteins with a putative C-terminal LPXTG (SEQ ID NO:1) cell wall sorting signal and other structural similarities to MSCRAMM® proteins having the LPXTG-anchored cell wall proteins. The MSCRAMM® proteins and immunogenic regions therein that are identified and isolated using the present invention may be useful in the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of Gram positive bacterial infections.
