    Abstract: Disclosed are an image display method and a 3d display system. The method is adapted to the 3d display system including a 3d display device and includes the following steps. A first image and a second image are obtained by splitting an input image according to a 3d image format. Whether the input image is a 3D format image complying with the 3D image format is determined through a stereo matching processing performed on the first image and the second image. An image interweaving process is enabled to be performed on the input image to generate an interweaving image in response to determining that the input image is the 3D format image complying with the 3D image format, and the interweaving image is displayed via the 3D display device.

  • Patent number: 11929488
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydrogen storage alloy, an electrode for a Ni-MH battery, a secondary battery, and a method for preparing the hydrogen storage alloy. The chemical composition of the hydrogen storage alloy is expressed by the general formula La(3.0˜3.2)xCexZrySm(1-(4.11˜4.2)x-y)NizCouMnvAlw, where x, y, z, u, v, w are molar ratios, and 0.14?x?0.17, 0.02?y?0.03, 4.60?z+u+v+w?5.33, 0.10?u?0.20, 0.25?v?0.30, and 0.30?w?0.40. The atomic ratio of the metal lanthanum (La) to the metal cerium (Ce) is fixed at 3.0 to 3.2, which satisfies the requirements of the overcharge performance of the electrode material. A side elements are largely substituted by samarium (Sm) element, that is, the atomic ratio of Sm on the A side is 25.6% to 42%, so as to solve the problem of shortened cycle life caused by the small amount of cobalt (Co) atoms.

  • Patent number: 11901931
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may filter leaked power from a signal to accurately perform antenna compensation operations (e.g., apply a transmit gain, perform cable loss measurements) using valid power. A switch at the UE may leak power to an antenna for a transmission, and the UE may use a dynamic filtering algorithm to determine whether a pulse power of a detected signal is leaked or valid. The dynamic filtering algorithm may be able to account for variations in leaked power values, as leaked power may increase or decrease proportionally to intended power (e.g., from which power was leaked). By determining whether pulse power is leaked or valid, the UE may be able to filter out the leaked power and accurately perform antenna compensation operations such as applying a transmit gain for a transmission, performing a cable loss measurement, or the like.

  • Publication number: 20230369501
    Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for forming transistor devices with reduced parasitic capacitance, such as transistors used in a memory structure. In an example, a given memory structure includes memory cells, with a given memory cell having an access device and a storage device. The access device may include, for example, a thin film transistor (TFT), and the storage device may include a capacitor. Any of the given TFTs may include a dielectric liner extending along sidewalls of the TFT. The TFT includes a recess (e.g., a dimple) that extends laterally inwards toward a midpoint of a semiconductor region of the TFT. The dielectric liner thus also pinches or otherwise extends inward. This pinched-in dielectric liner may reduce parasitic capacitance between the contacts of the TFT and the gate electrode of the TFT. The pinched-in dielectric liner may also protect the contacts from forming too deep into the semiconductor region.

  • Publication number: 20230369509
    Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for forming thin film transistor (TFT) structures having one or more doped contact regions. The addition of certain dopants can be used to increase conductivity and provide higher thermal stability in the contact regions of the TFT. Memory structures having TFT structures are arranged in a two-dimensional array within one or more interconnect layers and stacked in a vertical direction such that multiple tiers of memory structure arrays are formed within the interconnect region. Any of the TFT structures within the memory structures may include one or more contacts that are doped with additional elements. The doping profile of the contacts can be tuned to optimize performance, stability, and reliability of the TFT structure. Furthermore, additional doping may be performed within the area beneath the contacts and extending into the semiconductor region.
