Abstract: A frame interpolation method for generating a third image frame interpolated between a first image frame and a second image frame includes: performing motion estimation upon a first input image frame and a second input image frame, to obtain a single-directional motion, wherein the first input image frame is derived from the first image frame, and the second input image frame is derived from the second image frame; scaling the single-directional motion according to a time point of the third image frame, to generate a scaled motion; deriving a forward-warped result from a result of performing a forward warping operation and a first inverse operation upon the scaled motion; performing a second inverse operation upon the forward-warped result, to generate an inversed result; and generating the third image frame according to the first image frame, the second image frame, the forward-warped result, and the inversed result.

Abstract: Examples pertaining to preamble puncturing negotiation in wireless communications are described. A station (STA) may receive a control frame, and, in response, apply the MRU pattern for one or more transmissions or receptions in a transmission opportunity (TXOP). In the control frame, either a plurality of first reserved bits in a SERVICE field or a plurality of bits in a User Info field are set to indicate a multiple resource unit (MRU) pattern regarding preamble puncturing.

Abstract: A power supply unit supplies power to a load, and the power supply unit includes a power factor corrector, a DC conversion module, and an isolated conversion module. The power factor corrector is plugged into a first main circuit board and converts an AC power into a DC power. The DC conversion module is plugged into the first main circuit board and converts the DC power into a main power. The isolated conversion module includes a bus capacitor, the bus capacitor is coupled to the DC conversion module through a first power copper bar, and coupled to the power factor corrector through a second power copper bar. The first power copper bar and the second power copper bar are arranged on a side opposite to the first main circuit board, and are arranged in parallel with the first main circuit board.

Abstract: A method of making a ROM structure includes the operations of forming an active area having a channel, a source region, and a drain region; depositing a gate electrode over the channel; depositing a conductive line over at least one of the source region and the drain region; adding dopants to the source region and the drain region of the active area; forming contacts to the gate electrode, the source region, and the drain; depositing a power rail, a bit line, and at least one word line of the integrated circuit against the contacts; and dividing the active area with a trench isolation structure to electrically isolate the gate electrode from the source region and the drain region.

Abstract: A method includes forming a dummy pattern over test region of a substrate; forming an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer laterally surrounding the dummy pattern; removing the dummy pattern to form an opening; forming a dielectric layer in the opening; performing a first testing process on the dielectric layer; performing an annealing process to the dielectric layer; and performing a second testing process on the annealed dielectric layer.

Abstract: Embodiments related to switching of data packets have been described.

Abstract: A method of bandwidth control and a corresponding bandwidth control device are disclosed, in which a plurality of queues are provided, bandwidth is assigned to each of the queues on the basis of a strict priority scheme, and additional bandwidth is assigned to the queues on the basis of a fair queuing scheme.

Abstract: A communication network implements a “resistance cell architecture.” Each cell in the architecture comprises communication equipment such as a cell communication device coupled to one or more computers or terminals. Each cell is only permitted to communicate directly with certain predetermined other cells in the architecture. If a cell has a communication to be transmitted to a cell to which it does not directly communicate, the communication will be sent from one cell to another until the communication reaches the intended recipient. A security breach in the network can quickly, easily and effectively be isolated using the resistance cell architecture. For example, once a security is detected, the cell through which the security intrusion is detected can be deactivated or destroyed thereby preventing communications from the infected cell or branch of the resistance cell architecture to reach other parts of the network.

Abstract: A security system includes a data storage device in which data or other information to be protected is stored. The data storage device, control logic, and other components are contained in a sealed first inner housing. The data storage device stores the data to be protected. The first inner housing is contained within a sealed second inner housing by a plurality of support structures which create an interstitial volume surrounding the first inner enclosure. Both inner housings are contained within an outer housing. A vacuum is created in the interstitial volume between the two inner housings. Both inner housings are sealed thereby precluding air from entering the interstitial volume and defeating the vacuum. One or more pressure sensors monitor the vacuum pressure. If an attempt is made to access the first inner housing, by drilling through the second inner housing or otherwise defeating the second inner housing's seal, the pressure of the interstitial volume will change.
