Abstract: An object-based system and method of directing visual attention by a subliminal cue is disclosed. An object detector detects an object in an input image, thereby resulting in a cued object served as an object-based subliminal cue.

When a mobile communication apparatus enters into the range of communications provided by the femtocell base station and establishes a stream of multimedia data communications of video call or video/audio packet-switch data, the detected multimedia data and the pre-stored broadcasting message are synthesized to be a sort of synthesized media data carrying the broadcasting message, or the broadcasting message can be used to intercept the multimedia data, and the synthesized media data or the broadcasting message are transmitted to the mobile communication apparatus and/or a core network apparatus, thereby resolving the problem that the messages cannot be broadcast instantly as encountered in prior techniques due to a central disposition and management of broadcasting messages provided by the telecommunications industry.

Abstract: A method of directing a viewer's attention in an image display to enhance the perceived image quality and thus the viewer's preference of the image is disclosed. An image with an area of interest (AOI) is provided. The AOI is briefly displayed for a first time period. Subsequently, the image is normally displayed in its entirety for a second time period that is longer than the first time period. As a result, the viewer's attention is involuntarily directed to the AOI in a subliminal manner.

Abstract: A method of forming a low-k dielectric layer or film includes forming a porous low-k dielectric layer or film over a wafer or substrate. Active bonding is introduced into the porous low-k dielectric layer or film to improve damage resistance and chemical integrity of the layer or film, to retain the low dielectric constant of the layer and film after subsequent processing. Introduction of the active bonding may be accomplished by introducing OH and/or H radicals into pores of the porous low-k dielectric layer or film to generate, in the case of a Si based low-k dielectric layer or film, Si—OH and/or Si—H active bonds. After further processing of the low-k dielectric film, the active bonding is removed from the low-k dielectric layer or film.
