  • Publication number: 20170294499
    Abstract: A component such as a display may have a substrate and thin-film circuitry on the substrate. The thin-film circuitry may be used to form an array of pixels for a display or other circuit structures. Metal traces may be formed among dielectric layers in the thin-film circuitry. Metal traces may be provided with insulating protective sidewall structures. The protective sidewall structures may be formed by treating exposed edge surfaces of the metal traces. A metal trace may have multiple layers such as a core metal layer sandwiched between barrier metal layers. The core metal layer may be formed from a metal that is subject to corrosion. The protective sidewall structures may help prevent corrosion in the core metal layer. Surface treatments such as oxidation, nitridation, and other processes may be used in forming the protective sidewall structures.

  • Patent number: 9642577
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems of using wavelet transform in a dual-track architecture to process ECG signals of patients and reference ECG signals of previously studied subjects to assess the cardiovascular health of the patients. The dual-track architecture refers to running wavelet transform on the ECG signals of the patients and the reference ECG signals to extract and analyze 2-dimensional time-domain signal characteristics of the ECG signals, and to build and analyze a 3-dimensional model of frequency-domain and time-domain information of the ECG signals. The characteristics of the ECG signals of the patients and the reference ECG signals may be compared and used to identify a cardiovascular disease of the patient or to recommend follow-up tests. The results of the comparison may also be used to configure the ECG device used to acquire the ECG signals of the patient and/or to optimize the parameters of the 2-D/3-D analysis.
