Abstract: A channel hiatus correction method for an HDMI device is provided. A recovery code from scrambled data of the stream is obtained. A liner feedback shift register (LFSR) value of channels of the HDMI port is obtained based on the recovery code and the scrambled data of the stream. The stream is de-scrambled according to the LFSR value of the channels of the HDMI port. Video data is displayed according to the de-scrambled stream.

Abstract: A method includes providing a substrate having a surface such that a first hard mask layer is formed over the surface and a second hard mask layer is formed over the first hard mask layer, forming a first pattern in the second hard mask layer, where the first pattern includes a first mandrel oriented lengthwise in a first direction and a second mandrel oriented lengthwise in a second direction different from the first direction, and where the first mandrel has a top surface, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall, and depositing a material towards the first mandrel and the second mandrel such that a layer of the material is formed on the top surface and the first sidewall but not the second sidewall of the first mandrel.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for identifying one or more patients at risk of having an undetected ophthalmic condition is described. The method may make use of non-ophthalmic data; pre-process the data to generate a culled dataset. The model may be trained and tested based on separate portions of the culled dataset. Finally the model may output, based on the analyzing the data, an indication of the existence or non-existence of one or more ophthalmic conditions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for managing memory space in an electronic device including: selecting a candidate page from a first memory space for swapping the candidate page out of the first memory space into the second memory space; compressing the candidate page to obtain a first compressed page and a first hash value of the first compressed page; performing a comparison using the first hash value of the first compressed page and the hash values of the pages stored in a second memory space to find whether the pages have the same content as the first compressed page or the candidate page; and if a page is found to have the same content as the first compressed page or the candidate page, mapping a virtual address of the first compressed page or the candidate page to the found page.

Abstract: A method for managing a service or application for a smart device includes: obtaining a priority corresponding to the service or application according to a priority table; adjusting or terminating the service or application according to the priority; monitoring the service or application in real-time to obtain a monitoring result; and updating the priority table according to the monitoring result.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses pertaining to dynamic memory sharing may involve sharing a first portion of a memory associated with a first module for use by a second module. The first portion of the memory may be reclaimed for use by the first module in real time upon a determination that there is an increase in demand for the memory by the first module that requires reclamation, such that the first module begins to use the first portion of the memory before the second module finishes a process of aborting to use the first portion of the first memory.

Abstract: Techniques and implementations pertaining to a heterogeneous swap space with dynamic thresholds are provided. A technique may provide a list of a plurality of swap areas in a heterogeneous swap space. The swap areas may include at least two swap areas that are different from each other in one or more characteristics. The technique may also compute a dynamic threshold associated with a page in need of swapping and determine a priority level of the page in need of swapping based on the dynamic threshold. The technique may further select one of the swap areas from the list of swap areas for the swapping of the page in response to a determination of the priority level of the page.

Abstract: A memory management method includes: performing a first-level collection operation upon first storage units in a memory pool allocated in a memory device; and after the first storage units are processed by the first-level collection operation, performing a second-level collection operation upon second storage units in the memory pool allocated in the memory device, wherein one of the first-level collection operation and the second-level collection operation is a page-level collection operation, and another of the first-level collection operation and the second-level collection operation is a bank-level collection operation.

Abstract: An energy saving network apparatus comprises: a network apparatus including a plurality of beacons and a display unit; a portable identification apparatus including an identification code and token by a user; a access control apparatus used to control the user to approach the network apparatus, the access control apparatus including an identification reader used to read the identification code of the portable identification apparatus and transmit an identification signal including the identification code; and a server used to receive the identification signal and identify the identification code and send a signal to the access control apparatus and the network apparatus for controlling the access control apparatus, the beacons and the display unit to be powered on or off, whereby the beacons and the display unit are powered off so as to achieve power saving for the energy saving network system.
