  • Publication number: 20150242952
    Abstract: A method and system for constructing risk parity portfolios wherein the overall portfolio risk is diversified by allocating the risk equally or substantially equally across various portfolio components. The system receives a selection of investments assets, covariance matrix of the assets, and constraints including bounds on the weights of the investment assets. The system optimizes a mathematical formulation that is constrained by the bounds on the weights of the investment assets to generate a solution that is used for constructing a risk parity portfolio having optimal asset allocations that result in a balanced risk contribution.

  • Publication number: 20090305694
    Abstract: An audio-video sharing method and a corresponding audio-video sharing system are disclosed. The audio-video sharing system includes a short-range wireless network, a first mobile communication apparatus storing audio-video data, and a second mobile communication apparatus. The audio-video sharing method includes the following steps. At first, the first mobile communication apparatus reads the audio-video data. The first mobile communication apparatus then multiplexes the audio-video data into a media stream by a peer-to-peer streaming protocol. Then, the first mobile communication apparatus transmits the media stream through the short-range wireless network. Then, the second mobile communication apparatus receives the media stream. Then, the second mobile communication apparatus de-multiplexes the media stream into audio-video data by the peer-to-peer streaming protocol. At last, the second mobile communication apparatus plays the audio-video data.

  • Publication number: 20090104948
    Abstract: A handheld electronic device including a body, a cover, a locking structure, and a button structure is provided. The body has a cave, and the cover has a first locking part. The cover is adapted to be slidably disposed on the body and cover the cave. The locking structure has a first fastened end and a first cantilever. The first fastened end is fastened to the inner wall of the body, and a second locking part corresponding to the first locking part is disposed on the first cantilever. The button structure is corresponding to the locking structure. When the second locking part locks with the first locking part, the button structure is used to apply a force to the locking structure, to elastically deform the first cantilever for unlocking the second locking part and the first locking part.

  • Patent number: 6355399
    Abstract: A new method is provided for the creation of a dual damascene structure. The method of the invention uses a gray tone mask to form dual damascene trenches in one single masking and etch step. The gray tone mask technology allows for a photoresist patterning process after which the photoresist profile can be transferred into the underlying substrate by an etch process. By making the photoresist profile equal to the profile of a dual damascene structure, the dual damascene profile can be created in the surface of a substrate.

  • Patent number: 6242344
    Abstract: Under the first embodiment of the invention, a three layer composite layer of insulation is deposited. The trench is etched into this composite layer of insulation followed by a hard bake. The via etch is performed, completing the formation of the dual damascene profile. The created dual damascene profile is transferred into the underlying substrate; the layer of photoresist is removed. Under the second embodiment of the invention, a two layer composite layer of insulation is deposited over a semiconductor surface. The trench is etched into this composite layer of insulation. A layer of positive photoresist is deposited over the second layer of cross-linked negative resist and masked for the via etch. The via etch is performed, the created dual damascene profile is transferred into the underlying substrate. The removal of the layers of patterned photoresist completes the formation of the dual damascene structure.

  • Patent number: 5857684
    Abstract: A first frame member and a second frame member are pivotally joined at respective ends thereof for movement towards each other into a collapsed disposition and for movement away from each other into an erected condition wherein the members are at right angles to each other. One of the members supports to each of its sides an articulating wheel support and wheel and carries within its hollow a slide which is connected by pivots to each of said wheel supports and by pivoting straps to the other frame member so that when the frame members pivot apart the wheels move out and so that when the frame members pivot towards each other the wheels are drawn in so that the entire device assumes a collapsed condition. The frame members carry supports for a golf bag and may carry a battery tank (for a battery when the wheels are driven by motors that are battery powered) storage containers, seats, an umbrella stand and similar articles useful to a golfer. A number of wheel support configurations are provided.
