  • Publication number: 20240153979
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an image sensor structure includes forming an isolation structure in a substrate to divide the substrate into a first region and a second region, forming a first light sensing region in the first region and a second light sensing region in the second region, forming a first gate structure over the first light sensing region and a second gate structure over the second light sensing region, forming gate spacers on sidewalls of the first and second gate structures, and depositing a blocking layer on sidewalls of the gate spacers. The blocking layer has an opening positioned between the first and second gate structures. A source/drain structure is formed directly under the opening in the blocking layer. The method also includes forming an interlayer dielectric layer over the first and second gate structures and the blocking layer.

  • Patent number: 11086925
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improving a search process are provided. A networked system accesses, from online sources, fashion trend information including pictures illustrating fashion trends. The networked system determines a plurality of top fashion trends, and extracts, using an image detection algorithm, images of fashion items from a picture associated with each of the top fashion trends. Using the extracted images, the networked system performs an image search for matching inventory items. The networked system then generates and stored a plurality of fashion trend user interfaces, whereby the plurality of fashion trend user interfaces each comprise selectable elements that represent the plurality of top fashion trends. At runtime, the networked system receives an indication to initiate a search for fashion by trends, and in response, accesses the plurality of stored fashion trend user interfaces. One of the plurality of stored fashion trend user interfaces is presented on a user device.

  • Patent number: 7761404
    Abstract: Access to system and user defined entities (objects, data items, or the like) is managed by a content manager. A privilege grants a user an ability to access system such controlled entities. An item is an atomic user data entity stored in the CM library server. A privileges table is used to store system and user defined privileges. A privilege is represented by a row in the table. Each privilege has a unique privilege code, with codes 0 to 999 reserved to store system-defined privileges and codes beyond 999 open for user-defined privileges thus allowing application specific privileges to be added without limit.

  • Patent number: 7272550
    Abstract: A system and method for authorizing access to a controlled entity by a user. A set of user privileges is provided for user; and a content manager intersects an access control list (ACL) and the set of user privileges to authorize access. Binding level control indicia selectively binds an access control list (ACL) to the controlled entity at item type, item, mixed, or library binding level. An item type comprises one or more component items with each component item having one or more item views which together form an item type view. A content manager is responsive to the binding level to perform ACL checking for authorizing access to the controlled entity by the user.

  • Patent number: 4400698
    Abstract: A single channel continuous wave transmitter and receiver to produce a control signal to change the direction of the drive motor of a toy such as a model car having steerable wheels. A single electric motor provides the propulsion for the toy in one direction through the engagement of a planetary gear with a primary drive gear. The planetary gear is mounted on a rotatable ring surrounding the drive gear. When the direction of the motor is changed, the driver gear on the motor which is meshed with the planetary gear causes the planetary gear and ring to rotate until the planetary gear engages a secondary drive gear thereby changing the direction of travel of the vehicle. The rotational movement of the ring is also used as an actuator mechanism. This actuator mechanism is coupled to a cam that is in return coupled to the steering of the vehicle.
