Abstract: The present application discloses a display panel and a preparation method thereof, and a display device. The display panel includes a base substrate, and has a display area, a peripheral area surrounding the display area, a hole area located at the display area, and an isolation area located between the hole area and the display area. The display area includes an electroluminescent device located on the base substrate, and a packaging structure for sealing the electroluminescent device, the packaging structure includes an inorganic packaging layer and an organic packaging layer alternately stacked, and the inorganic packaging layer extends to the hole area. The isolation area includes an organic layer located on the inorganic packaging layer.

Abstract: A cutting element includes a base and a cutting face at opposite axial ends, a side surface extending between the base and the cutting face, an edge formed between the cutting face and the side surface, an edge chamfer having a uniform size around the entire edge, and a geometric shape formed on the cutting face and defined by a concave boundary with respect to a longitudinal axis of the cutting element. The concave boundary includes multiple rounded vertices, each rounded vertex located proximate to the edge chamfer and forming a cutting tip and multiple geometric shape sides connecting the rounded vertices, wherein the geometric shape sides are concave with respect to the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A computer automatically reads each object in a metadata that is descriptive of a database. Then the computer automatically applies a number of rules, to check if the object triggers a rule. If so, then the computer automatically changes the metadata as per an action identified by the triggered rule. After all rules are applied to the object, and after all objects in the metadata are processed, the resulting metadata is used to change the database's structure. The objects may be read from the metadata in an order (e.g. hierarchy) specified in meta-metadata that is descriptive of the metadata.

Abstract: A system and method for managing and retrieving computer files comprising a user interface system that dynamically coordinates and displays files by intuitive cues supplied by a user. The user interface system further comprises a database for storing file attributes namely, subject, keywords, information related to time, location in file directory system, file size, file type, indexing data, textual data and graphic data. It thus reduces a user's reliance on their memory for a specific filename by effectively leveraging a user's intimate knowledge about its possible drive or folder location, its file age, its content, and its subject matter, by making these cues constantly available and dynamically coordinated for users.

Abstract: A solid porous zinc electrode for use in alkaline-zinc batteries, zinc-air batteries and fuel cells is provided which comprises specific zinc filaments, fibers, threads or strands compressed into a physically-stable wooly mass to form the electrode with a controlled geometrical shape and porosity distribution. Differential densification incorporates ribs, borders, grids or tabs for good structural integrity, mechanical strength, electrochemical behavior, and electrical conductivity. Pressing in a mold or rolling of a compressed sheet can also provide an anode with a large anode/cathode interface area and a complex geometry. The filaments of controlled dimension and composition are preferably made by spin forming from molten zinc alloys. Such anodes are not susceptible to breakage, have a long storage life and can be used in high rate discharge applications.

Abstract: A writing instrument having a thin and planar ink cartridge adapts for placement and storage in narrow or flat spaces. The thin and planar ink cartridge has a cavity-stabilizer inside the ink cartridge to provide mechanical stability of the cartridge and a stable volume of the cavity for ink storage within the cartridge. The writing instruments using thin and planar ink cartridges can be adapted for placement in wallets, checkbooks, notebooks, pockets, and in books and may function as bookmarks. The flat form of these writing instruments also provides a wide range of design possibilities to have variety of shapes resembling real or imagined objects and designs, and to display advertising, reference, educational, and entertainment information.
