  • Publication number: 20220059803
    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to 3D imaging capable OLED displays. A light field display comprises an array of 3D light field pixels, each of which comprises an array of corrugated OLED pixels, a metasurface layer disposed adjacent to the array of 3D light field pixels, and a plurality of median layers disposed between the metasurface layer and the corrugated OLED pixels. Each of the corrugated OLED pixels comprises primary or non-primary color subpixels, and produces a different view of an image through the median layers to the metasurface to form a 3D image. The corrugated OLED pixels combined with a cavity effect reduce a divergence of emitted light to enable effective beam direction manipulation by the metasurface. The metasurface having a higher refractive index and a smaller filling factor enables the deflection and direction of the emitted light from the corrugated OLED pixels to be well controlled.

  • Publication number: 20220057466
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to magnetic resonance imaging triggered by a prospective acquisition correction sequence. The technique comprises determining repetition time and an acquisition window time of a single-shot fast spin echo sequence; determining the maximum imaging layer number N in each physiological movement cycle on the basis of the acquisition window time and the repetition time, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2; and enabling the single-shot fast spin echo sequence to obtain M layers of imaging data within at least one acquisition window time when the prospective acquisition correction sequence generates a trigger signal, where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to N. According to the present disclosure, a plurality of layers of imaging data are obtained within a single acquisition window time, thereby increasing a scanning speed and shortening imaging time.

  • Patent number: 11244858
    Abstract: A method for reducing wiggling in a line includes forming a first patterning layer over a metal feature and depositing a first mask layer over the first patterning layer. The first mask layer is patterned to form a first set of one or more openings therein and then thinned. The pattern of the first mask layer is transferred to the first patterning layer to form a second set of one or more openings therein. The first patterning layer is etched to widen the second set of one or more openings. The first patterning layer may be comprised of silicon or an oxide material. The openings in the first patterning layer may be widened while a mask layer is over the first patterning layer.

    Abstract: An online system receives impression data from one or more content publishers. The impression data describes impressions provided to users of the online system on behalf of an agent. The online system selects a randomly selected number of impressions in the received impression data. The online system generates an impressions block by encrypting impression data that describes the selected set of impressions using a unique cypher, and adds the impressions block to a blockchain. The online system further generates a cypher block by encrypting the cypher and an identifier of the impressions block to which the cypher applies using a public key provided by the agent to the online system. The online system adds the cypher block to the blockchain. The agent can recover the cypher from the cypher block based on a private key, and the agent can then recover the impression data using the recovered cypher.
