摘要:
A method of producing a particle beam mask and mask structures to allow for the use of dummy fill shapes. This invention overcomes distortion in by adding a dummy shape in unexposed regions and applying a blocking layer to cover the dummy shape. The blocking layer is comprised of an aperture or additional mask mounted close to the mask or can be added to the mask itself.

A system for processing an image includes a non-transitory memory component storing a set of executable instructions, and a scalable tile processing device. The executable instructions cause the system to receive image data, partition the image data into tiles, transmit a tile to the scalable tile processing device, receive an encoded bit stream corresponding to the transmitted tile from the tile processing device, output compressed image data including the encoded bit stream, receive the compressed image data, decode the compressed image data to generate a plurality of decoded code blocks, and output decompressed image data including the plurality of decoded code blocks. The scalable tile processing device receives the tile including tile image data, wavelet transforms, quantizes, segments, and encodes the tile image data to generate a plurality of encoded code blocks, and transmits an encoded bit stream including the plurality of encoded code blocks to the system.
摘要:
A method of forming a non-linear path of at least a portion of at least one electrically conducting wire extending between a first location and a second location. The method includes the steps of forming a wire path template defining a non-linear path, winding said wire through said template such that said wire adopts said non-linear path, connecting the wire to a feedthrough member, wherein the feedthrough member is configured to provide an electrical connection through a wall of an implantable component implantable in a recipient along with the wire, and removing the wire from the template.

A spark plug and method of construction thereof is provided. The spark plug includes a metal shell having a through cavity, a lower insulator and a plastic upper insulator. The lower insulator is received in the through cavity and has a through passage with a center electrode received therein. A ground electrode is operatively attached to the shell in spaced relation from the ground electrode to provide a spark gap. The plastic upper insulator has a distal end received in the through cavity of the shell and a terminal end extending axially outwardly from the shell. The upper insulator has a through passage extending between the terminal end and the distal end. An elongate conductive member is received in the through passage of the upper insulator and is configured for electrical communication with the center electrode.

The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods, and systems for market generation and matches of importation and exportation procurement, logistics, and payment transactions; i.e., a cross-border Facilitator (hereinafter “Facilitator”). Through its various components, the cross-border Facilitator creates new markets by generating and facilitating three stages of a cross-border trade transaction: identification, selection and execution. In one embodiment, the Facilitator manages the transaction by: creating a transaction “template” based on transaction information (i.e., HS product code, ISO country code, etc), alerting the buyer to potential problem areas, and updating of important upcoming dates and actions. The Facilitator creates all the required documents, integrates all events, including the service providers, and allows both parties to track the status of the transaction on-line at any time. In one embodiment, the Facilitator receives a search request from a system user, the search request including product and shipping related data. The Facilitator then generates a quote for the transaction and transmitting the quote to the user. The Facilitator receives an indication that the transaction quote has been finalized by the user and effectuates one or more transaction logistics elements based on the product and shipping details included in the finalized quote. The Facilitator then facilitates payment of one or more entities involved in the transaction.

The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods and systems for a product manipulation and modification interface. Described herein are functionalities facilitating online procurement, shopping, transacting, editing and/or modification, and/or the like of goods and services across international borders, including a host of integrated tools for navigating the complexities of import-export bureaucracies and simplifying the cross border shopping process. A graphical user interface is provided to receive user edits, specifications, modifications, manipulations, comments, and/or the like with respect to products in a product catalog. The editing tools available for a given product may, in one embodiment, be based on manufacturer specifications provided with respect to a given product. The disclosed invention is configurable to facilitate and process transactions at various scales, register and authorize new participants, process product information and provide an online catalog, generate quotes and sales orders, track orders and customer satisfaction, and/or the like.
