  • HIGHLIGHTING RELATED POINTS OF INTEREST IN A GEOGRAPHICAL REGION
    Publication number: 20150187107
    Abstract: A mapping system determines points of interest that are related to a selected point of interest within a digital map displayed at a client computing device. The system receives a request for mapping system data from a client computing device. The request indicates a selected point of interest (POI) that is displayed at a geographic location within the digital map. The selected POI corresponds to a list of words describing characteristics of the selected POI, and each word corresponding to the selected POI word includes a base score describing an importance of the word compared to a list of all words corresponding to displayable POIs. The system determines POIs that are related to the selected POI by comparing base scores of the selected POI words to base scores of related POI words, where the related POIs each include at least one word in common with the selected POI.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first under-bump metallization (UBM) layer disposed over a bond pad, a dielectric layer above an interconnect layer having a via exposing at least a portion of the first UBM layer. A second UBM layer is disposed above the first UBM layer and forms a UBM bucket over the via. The first UBM layer and UBM bucket are configured to support a solder ball and can advantageously block all alpha particles emitted by the solder ball having a relevant angle of incidence from reaching the active semiconductor regions of the IC. Thus, soft errors, such as single event upsets in memory cells, are reduced or eliminated.

  • DOUBLE-LAYERED LIQUID CRYSTAL LENS AND 3D DISPLAY APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20150185488
    Abstract: A double-layered liquid crystal lens in which two liquid crystal layers are disposed, and a 3D display apparatus. In a 3D display mode, under control of an electric field, liquid crystal molecules of a first liquid crystal layer are deflected to form a plurality of first lenticular lens structures. In case of switching from the 3D display mode into a 2D display mode, under the control of an electric field, liquid crystal molecules in a second liquid crystal layer are deflected to form a plurality of second lenticular lens structures; the second lenticular lens structures are mirror symmetric to the corresponding first lenticular lens structures, so as to compensate a phase delay of a light modulated by the first lenticular lens structures, such that the light passes through the double-layered liquid crystal lens without deflection, and thus a normal 2D display state is realized.
