Abstract: Methods of forming line-end extensions and devices having line-end extensions are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes forming a patterned photoresist on a first region of a hard mask layer. A line-end extension region is formed in the hard mask layer. The line-end extension region extends laterally outward from an end of the first region of the hard mask layer. The line-end extension region may be formed by changing a physical property of the hard mask layer at the line-end extension region.

Abstract: A transition and display system including a controlled computer and a client computer transmits and displays a frame image and a cursor. The controlled computer includes a frame image capture unit for outputting image data according to primal image data of a primal image and a cursor capture unit for outputting cursor data of the cursor according to the primal image data, wherein the primal image contains the cursor. The client computer receives the frame image data and the cursor data, decodes the frame image data, displays the frame image on the client computer, and laps the cursor over the frame image according to the cursor data.

Abstract: A remote monitoring method applied in a monitored computer system and a monitoring computer system, which are connected to a network. The monitored computer system has a microprocessor chip which operates independently. After power is supplied to the monitored computer system, the microprocessor chip starts to capture image data. The image data is properly processed and then stored in the memory. Thereafter, the monitoring computer system reads and displays the image data stored in the memory through the network so that the user can see, on the monitoring computer system, displaying images of the monitored computer system from booting to normal operating, and also can capture a displaying image when the monitored computer system crashes.

Abstract: A remote control device is described. The remote control device uses a network chip directly mounted on a motherboard of a server computer to remote control the server computer without any additional network card requirement. The remote control device includes a basic input output system (BIOS), a COM port, a baseboard management controller (BMC), and a network chip. The BIOS redirects video data to the COM port and then the same to the BMC. The BMC transforms the video data into network packets according to a Q-Telnet protocol. The BMC recognizes the Q-Telnet protocol and a standard Telnet protocol effectively. Therefore, the network chip uses a UDP 623 port to control the BMC and a TCP 23 port to transmit data and commands using the standard Telnet protocol.
