Abstract: A patterning device, includes: an absorber layer on a patterning device substrate; and a reflective or transmissive layer on the patterning device substrate, wherein the absorber layer and the reflective or transmissive layer together define a pattern layout having a main feature and an attenuated sub-resolution assist feature paired with the main feature, wherein: the main feature is configured to generate, upon transferring the device pattern to a layer of patterning material on a substrate, the main feature in the layer of patterning material, and upon the transferring the pattern to the layer of patterning material, the attenuated sub-resolution assist feature is configured to avoid generating a feature in the layer of patterning material and to produce a different radiation intensity than the main feature.

Abstract: The present invention is applicable to the field of Internet, and provides an interactive method and apparatus based on a web picture. The method includes: obtaining a web picture including a human image; determining a region where a specific part of the human image in the web picture is located; receiving an interactive instruction in the region where the specific part is located, and generating the interactive information corresponding to the specific part. When receiving the interactive instruction in the region where the specific part is located, generating the interactive information corresponding to the specific part by determining the region where the specific part of the human image in the obtained web picture including the human image is located. The interactive method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is simple to operate, and the interactive manners are various.

Abstract: Techniques for searching a character string involve: determining a first set of documents including a first token in the character string, and a second set of documents including a second token in the character string; and generating a third set of documents based on the first and second sets of documents, in the third set of documents: i) a document being included in the first and second sets of documents, and ii) a distance between the first and second tokens in the document being equal to a distance between the first and second tokens in the character string.

Abstract: A method for document similarity analysis. The method includes obtaining a document to be archived, obtaining indexing terms for the document to be archived, and identifying document categories similar to the document to be archived, based on indexing terms and corresponding term frequencies. The method further includes making a determination that a weakly similar document category exists and based on the determination: generating a new document category and registering the document in the new document category, and registering the document in the weakly similar document category.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for searching information. The method is for, in response to receipt of a keyword from a search user of a plurality of users, searching in an information repository to obtain one or more information items to be returned; and returning the information item to the search user based on an importance of each information item of the one or more information items. With the method, it is possible to fully leverage various objective internal relationships between search users, information items and creators and thus improve the search accuracy.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for information analysis. The method extracts a plurality of metadata from a source information set so as to generate a metadata set, the metadata comprising error log information that forms an error sequence in the metadata set; and generates a common error sequence set for a plurality of the metadata sets. By means of the method, it is possible to easily obtain a global error sequence pattern, and easily compare a new error with a previous error sequence pattern so as to prevent, diagnose and recover the new error.

Abstract: Methods for forming a diamond like carbon layer with desired film density, mechanical strength and optical film properties are provided. In one embodiment, a method of forming a diamond like carbon layer includes generating an electron beam plasma above a surface of a substrate disposed in a processing chamber, and forming a diamond like carbon layer on the surface of the substrate. The diamond like carbon layer is formed by an electron beam plasma process, wherein the diamond like carbon layer serves as a hardmask layer in an etching process in semiconductor applications. The diamond like carbon layer may be formed by bombarding a carbon containing electrode disposed in a processing chamber to generate a secondary electron beam in a gas mixture containing carbon to a surface of a substrate disposed in the processing chamber, and forming a diamond like carbon layer on the surface of the substrate from elements of the gas mixture.

Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a method for servicing requests, the method includes receiving, from a client system, a first request comprising a query, determining a first user associated with the first request, modifying the query to obtain a first modified query, where the first modified query includes a first permission definition token associated with the first user, processing the modified query to obtain a first object from a content repository, and providing the first object to the client system.
