Abstract: A manufacturing method of a mask plate for shielding during sealant-curing includes: forming a negative photoresist light-shielding material layer on a transparent substrate; with a color-filter mask plate set, exposing the substrate formed with the negative photoresist light-shielding material layer; developing the substrate after exposing to form the pattern of the mask plate. The method does not require separate fabrication of a mask plate, thereby significantly reducing the manufacturing costs of the mask plate for shielding during sealant-curing.

Abstract: A 3D memory has multiple memory layers stacked on top of a substrate. Word lines in different memory layers are connected respectively to different columns of contact pads in the substrate directly under the multiple memory layers. The connection is accomplished by creating vertical shifts above each contact pad and creating a vertical word line VIA connecting to the contact pad. For a given memory layer and its column of vertical word line VIAs, an auxiliary vertical shaft down to the memory layer is formed between each vertical word line VIA and an adjacent word line. The auxiliary vertical shaft is contiguous with the vertical shift allowing access to the vertical word line VIA. The auxiliary vertical shaft also enables excavating a lateral space between the word line and the vertical word line VIA. Filling the space with a conductive material completes a conductive path from the word line to the contact pad.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for cross-platform data visualizations using common descriptions. Embodiments of the invention provide mechanisms for simplifying software development and enhanced code reliability. A user interface, along with interactive and dynamic characteristics, can be described (programmatically and/or declaratively) independently of any specific device platform. User interface qualities can be described using a generic scene graph structure with attached behaviors. The generic scene graph can then be used to drive the user interface on any number of different computing platforms using platform specific (e.g., rendering, gesture recognition, etc.) sub-systems. Platform specific sub-systems can vary based on technologies that are used by the platform specific sub-systems. For example, rendering sub-systems can vary based on the technology used to render graphical data, such as, for example, Open GL, XAML, Direct X, Quartz, etc.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for dynamically resizing circular buffers are described wherein circular buffers are dynamically allocated arrays from a pool of arrays. The method comprises receiving either a request to add data to a circular buffer or to remove data from a circular buffer. If the request is an addition request and the circular buffer is full, an array from the pool is allocated to the circular buffer. If, however, the request is a removal request and removal of the data creates an empty array, an array is de-allocated from the circular buffer and returned to the pool. Any arrays that are not allocated to a circular buffer may be disabled to conserve power.
