Abstract: A method for producing a liquid crystal display device including a pair of substrates, a first electrode formed on one substrate, a second electrode formed on the other substrate, and liquid crystal molecules filled between the substrates. The method includes providing alignment layer material exhibiting a vertically orienting property for a selected one of the substrates, aligning a mask having permeable portions and impermeable portions over a selected substrate, irradiating the mask with ultraviolet rays in a first inclined azimuthal direction, and simultaneously irradiating the mask from a second inclined azimuthal direction which is substantially 180 degrees different from the first inclined azimuthal direction. Additionally, the azimuthal direction of the alignment of liquid crystal molecules in a first region of the substrate is substantially 180 degrees different from the azimuthal direction of the alignment of liquid crystal molecules in a second region of the substrate.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to systems and methods for selectively determining a quantization parameter based on coding parameters. In some embodiments, a quantization parameter selection may be based on the presence of non-zero transform coefficients as well as other parameters. Some embodiments relate to rewriting a multi-layer bitstream to a single-layer bitstream with a quantization parameter selected with reference to transform coefficients. Some embodiments convert a scalable, multi-layer video sequence into a single-layer, non-scalable video sequence that is compatible with legacy devices.
Abstract: A plasmonic polarizer and a method for fabricating the plasmonic polarizer are provided. The method deposits alternating layers of non-metallic film and metal, forming a stack. A hard mask is formed overlying the stack. The hard mask comprises structures having dimensions and periods between adjacent structures less than a first length, where the first length is equal to (a first wavelength of light/2). The stack is etched through openings in the hard mask to form pillar stacks of alternating non-metallic and metal layers having the dimensions of the hard mask structures. Then, the hard mask structures are removed. In one aspect, subsequent to removing the hard mask structures, the spaces between the pillar stacks are filled with a dielectric material.

Abstract: A method for decoding video includes receiving a frame of the video that includes at least one slice and at least one tile. Each of the at least one slice and the at least one tile are not all aligned with one another. Each of the at least one slice is characterized that it is decoded independently of the other the at least one slice. Each of the at least one tile is characterized that it is a rectangular region of the frame and having coding units for the decoding arranged in a raster scan order. The at least one tile of the frame are collectively arranged in a raster scan order of the frame.

In a mobile communication system in which a base station apparatus (100) sets a plurality of downlink component carriers for a mobile station apparatus (200), the base station apparatus (100) transmits a downlink transport block to the mobile station apparatus (200) on one or a plurality of downlink component carriers among the plurality of downlink component carriers, and the mobile station apparatus transmits, to the base station apparatus (100), control information of HARQ for the downlink transport block on any one of physical uplink control channel resources corresponding to the one or plurality of downlink component carriers on which the downlink transport block has been transmitted.
Abstract: An image processing device includes a plurality of printers (Pr1, Pr2, Pr3, Pr4, . . . ) and a plurality of client machines (PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4, PC5, . . . ). When requesting an image data processing to a printer other than the printer to which an image data processing has been requested firstly, the client machine checks the security level of the other printer to which the image data processing is to be requested before requesting the image data distribution processing to the other printer. When selecting another printer to which the image data distribution processing is to be requested, the security level in each printer is sufficiently considered.
