Abstract: A method for manufacturing a memory device includes forming trenches in a substrate to define an active region, filling an insulation material in the trenches, treating at least one portion of the insulation material, removing an upper portion of the insulation material from the trenches, so as to expose upper portions of side surfaces of the active region and to convert remaining portions of the insulation material in the trenches to shallow trench isolation (STI) disposed on opposite sides of the active region, forming a lower oxide layer, a middle charge trapping layer, and an upper oxide layer which cover the exposed upper portions of the side surfaces of the active region, an upper surface of the active region between the side surfaces of the active region, and the STI, and forming a gate layer on the upper oxide layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming an embedded flash memory cell that provides for improved performance by providing for a tunnel dielectric layer having a relatively uniform thickness, and an associated apparatus. The method is performed by forming a charge trapping dielectric structure over a logic region, a control gate region, and a select gate region within a substrate. A first charge trapping dielectric etching process is performed to form an opening in the charge trapping dielectric structure over the logic region, and a thermal gate dielectric layer is formed within the opening. A second charge trapping dielectric etching process is performed to remove the charge trapping dielectric structure over the select gate region. Gate electrodes are formed over the thermal gate dielectric layer and the charge trapping dielectric structure remaining after the second charge trapping dielectric etching process.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for detecting presence of an influenza virus in a sample, such as a biological sample obtained from a subject or an environmental sample. In some embodiments, the compositions and methods can be used to quickly identify particular subtypes of influenza virus (such as seasonal or variant influenza subtype H3, influenza subtype H5, Eurasian influenza subtype H7, North American influenza subtype H7, and/or influenza subtype H9) present in a sample. Probes and primers are provided herein that permit the rapid detection and/or discrimination of influenza virus subtype nucleic acids in a sample. Devices (such as arrays) and kits for detection and/or discrimination of influenza virus subtype nucleic acids are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of executing the RAS stage up to the set-up stage in a H.323 system. The H. 323 system comprises one or more third party gatekeepers and one or more end points. A transparent back-to-back proxy gatekeeper is introduced between a third party gatekeeper and end-points. Two sets of ports are created on the transparent back-to-back proxy gatekeeper. One set of ports represent themselves as end-points to the third party gatekeeper and the other set of ports represent themselves as known ports of the third party gatekeeper to the end point. A H.323 RAS request is intercepted transparently from an end-point to a third party gatekeeper. The H.323 RAS request is addressed to a well-known port number on the third party gatekeeper. The information of the H.323 RAS registration request is stored in a local persistent copy within the back-to-back proxy gatekeeper. The H.323 RAS registration request is passed to the well-known port number on the third party gatekeeper.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method and system for guiding a packet data protocol activation. The method includes determining whether a packet data protocol is activated and if the determination result indicates that the packet data protocol is not activated because of including a wrong service access point name, analyzing service access point name information causing the packet data protocol not activated; introducing in an associating database for associating service access point name reason information causing the packet data protocol not activated and a guide information for properly setting the service access point name; inquiring the associating database based on the service access point name reason information obtained by the analyzing and obtaining the guide information for guiding a user to properly set the service access point name; and transmitting the guide information for guiding the user to properly set the service access point name to the user side.

Abstract: A reflecting cloth with a preferred reflecting effect has a cloth lower layer (or tape layer), a plating metal film middle layer, and a fine glass upper layer. Since the plating metal film is smooth and reflect light so that the light can be reflected to the fine glass beads to generate cloth (or tape) with light of various colors. The plating metal film middle layer is plated on a tape. The plating metal film middle layer has textures so as to enhance the reflecting effect.
