Abstract:
A method for accessing digital image files. The method is applied in a digital image capture device store at least one image file. At least one first image is chosen from the at least one image file. A file level code is set in the at least one first image, and the file level code indicates access authority of the at least one first image file. When the at least one first image is accessed, a second image file is chosen from the at least one first image file. The file level code of the second image file is read, and then the second image file is processed according to the file level code.
Abstract:
A mobile electronic device. A capture module captures a plurality of static videos and stores the static videos to a memory. A compile module compiles each static video with at least one specific set to generate a plurality of display data and stores the display data to the memory. A play module reads the display data and generates a multimedia data according to the specific set.
Abstract:
Color calibration methods for a digital image capture device are provided. Identification of a printer is first received. It is determined whether color information of the printer is stored in the digital image capture device. If so, the color information is sent from the digital image capture device to the printer for printing. If not, the digital image capture device converts hue value calibration data to acquire color related data for printing.
Abstract:
An inspection system for inspecting a semiconductor wafer. The inspection system comprises an illumination setup for supplying broadband illumination. The broadband illumination can be of different contrasts, for example brightfield and darkfield broadband illumination. The inspection system further comprises a first image capture device and a second image capture device, each configured for receiving broadband illumination to capture images of the semiconductor wafer while the semiconductor wafer is in motion. The system comprises a number of tube lenses for enabling collimation of the broadband illumination. The system also comprises a stabilizing mechanism and an objective lens assembly. The system further comprises a thin line illumination emitter and a third image capture device for receiving thin line illumination to thereby capture three-dimensional images of the semiconductor wafer. The system comprises a reflector assembly for enabling the third image capture device to receive illumination reflected from the semiconductor wafer in multiple directions.
Abstract:
A user interface and method is embodied on a computer readable medium and executable on a computer. The user interface is a labeler which labels only foreground pixels of an image stored in a computing environment. The labeler operates in a Region mode/state and Brush mode/state, and includes a Tentative mode that permits an assigned label to be changed after pixels have been selected. Groups of pixels may be selected for labeling at once by a point-and-click command, and a pixel may belong to one or more groups of pixels which are stored in memory as image layers. The groups are formed dynamically by user selection actions, and/or through automatic recognition algorithms. Pixels already labeled with certain labels may be locked to not be altered by additional labeling operations. Unassigned pixels may be highlighted to increase the ease at which they are identified in an image. Comparisons between labeled images are undertaken to indicate differences between different groundtruth labeling.
Abstract:
Methods for performing epitope mapping, and for characterizing the antibody binding affinity and epitope diversity of antibodies in a sample using peptide microarray are provided. In some aspects, methods are provided for the specific characterization of IgE and IgG4. Also disclosed are methods for diagnosing whether a milk-allergic individual will outgrow his or her allergy based on the characterization of the individual's milk allergen-specific IgE antibodies.
Abstract:
An electrochemical test sensor is adapted to measure glucose and correct for the oxygen effect in a fluid sample. The test sensor comprises a base, first and second working electrodes, and a counter electrode. The first working electrode includes glucose oxidase, a mediator and peroxidase. The second working electrode includes glucose oxidase and the mediator. The first working electrode, the second working electrode and the counter electrode are located on the base. In other embodiments, an electrochemical test sensor is adapted to measure cholesterol, lactate, pyruvate or xanthine and correct for the oxygen effect in a fluid sample.
Abstract:
A new method and structure is provided for the creation of a copper dual damascene interconnect. A dual damascene structure is created in the layer of dielectric, optionally a metal barrier layer is deposited over exposed surfaces of the dual damascene structure. A copper seed layer is deposited, the dual damascene structure is filled with copper. An anneal is applied to the created copper interconnect after which excess copper is removed from the dielectric. Of critical importance to the invention, a thin layer of oxide is then deposited as a cap layer over the copper dual damascene interconnect, an etch stop layer is then deposited over the thin layer of oxide for continued upper-level metallization.
