摘要:
Systems and methods electrically connect a first electronic device or electrical component, having a external electrical connector, to a circuit board of a second electronic device. A low-cost, user-installable connection system isolates mechanical stresses imposed on the external electrical connector to within the user-installable connection system, thereby preventing the mechanical stresses from reaching the circuit board in the second electronic device. If the connection becomes faulty, only the low-cost, user-installable connection system must be replaced.

User-specific information such as the social networking cloud of relevant metadata is used to find real-time information and provide visual feedback to users regarding the presence of other users at particular locations. In one example, the information is displayed on localized map images, with visual indicators such as dots indicating the presence of other users having desired characteristics.

A method and apparatus for providing power management enhancements. In an embodiment, the method comprises receiving an indication that the computing device is in a non-user-interactable state and powering down non-essential device components such that the computing device is configured to enter a low power state. In another embodiment, the method comprises selecting a duration for a battery life of the computing device and selecting a power profile for the computing device to ensure that the computing device operates for at least as long as the selected duration. In an embodiment, the apparatus comprises a computing device comprising means for providing battery power and means for altering a power profile of the computing device.

A controller is disclosed that can be used in controlling a drive device of a disk drive, or other systems, in the presence of sinusoidal disturbances. The controller includes a calibration module that generates a plurality of reference states for a reference region of a disk of the disk drive. An initialization state generation module generates a plurality of initialization states for at least one other region of the disk as a function of the plurality of reference states, a displacement between the other regions of the disk and the reference region of the disk, and a reference state transition matrix. A control module generates a control signal for the drive device based on the plurality of initialization states.

An improved system and method for pen-based handwritten and keystroke data input into a computer system is disclosed. The system and method receives pen-based data entry from multiple related input boxes within a handwriting area on a digitizer pad. Thread-based processing allows each input box or group of input boxes to be separately evaluated, providing for continuous character recognition. Character strokes entered into each input box or group of input boxes are saved and interpreted together to allow more complete recognition of naturally written characters. Improvements on keyboard layouts are also disclosed.

Provided herein is an ophthalmic lens and methods for making an ophthalmic lens. The ophthalmic lens includes a body having one or more films having at least one spectral reflection band. The reflection band includes spectral reflection properties to reflect right handed circularly polarized light, left handed circularly polarized light, or a combination of right handed circularly polarized light and left handed circularly polarized light.

An image processing method and apparatus is described for processing a signal from a monochrome or color sensor that may be subject to pixel defects or blemishes. Without prior knowledge of any pixel defects, the processing method examines each pixel value and its neighboring pixel values. A number of tests are applied to the set of pixel values to determine whether the underlying pixel is defective. If the underlying pixel is determined to be defective, the pixel value is replaced by an estimate value derived from the values of its neighboring pixels. Otherwise, the pixel value remains intact.
摘要:
A method for fabricating a dielectric layer provides for use of a carbon source material separate from a halogen source material when forming a carbon and halogen doped silicate glass dielectric layer. The use of separate carbon and halogen source materials provides enhanced process latitude when forming the carbon and halogen doped silicate glass dielectric layer. Such a carbon and halogen doped silicate glass dielectric layer having a dielectric constant greater than about 3.0 is particularly useful as an intrinsic planarizing stop layer within a damascene method. A bilayer dielectric layer construction comprising a carbon and halogen doped silicate glass and a carbon doped silicate glass dielectric layer absent halogen doping is useful within a dual damascene method.
