  • Publication number: 20160342092
    Abstract: Methods for performing a photolithographic process are disclosed. The methods facilitate the removal of photosensitive from a wafer after the photosensitive has been used as an etch mask. The photosensitive may be a negative tone photosensitive that undergoes a cross-linking process on exposure to electromagnetic energy. By limiting the cross-linking through a reduced post-exposure bake temperature and/or through reduced cross-linker loading, the photoresist, or at least a portion thereof, may have a reduced solvent strip resistance. Because of the reduced solvent strip resistance, a portion of the photosensitive may be removed using a solvent strip. After the solvent strip, a dry etch may be performed to remove remaining portions of the photoresist.

    Abstract: A 3D display device having a lens-switching function. The device includes an LCD picture layer, a lens-array plate, an LCD shielding pattern layer, and a synchronous picture providing system. The synchronous picture providing system is connected with the LCD picture layer and the LCD shielding pattern layer such that the LCD picture layer and the LCD shielding pattern layer are synchronous to respectively display a 3D picture and a shielded pattern. Through increasing an area of black shielding pattern, an edge of each lens unit corresponding to the shielding region is shielded, the area of a single light transparent region is reduced, and a light transparent aperture of a lens unit corresponding to the shielding region is reduced in order to eliminate a cross talk generated by scattering and bluntness at the edge.

  • Patent number: 9499529
    Abstract: This invention relates generally to methods of treating aggressive cancers, such as hormone-refractory metastatic prostate cancer, by exposing the aggressive cancer cells to curcumin analogs having the claimed structural scaffolds and side groups. The anticancer effects of curcumin are associated with its influence on numerous growth factors within the cells. However, its clinical development has been limited by its suboptimal pharmacokinetics and poor bioavailability caused by poor solubility in water and rapid in vivo metabolism. There is the need to develop new and improved curcumin analogs with better potency, water solubility, and in vivo metabolic stability, as well as retained safety profiles. Curcumin analogs having one of the claimed four novel scaffolds with basic heteroaromatic side groups show the ability to decrease aggressive cancer cell viability and to inhibit aggressive cancer cell growth.
