Abstract: The present invention describes photoluminescent apparatuses or colour filters (100a,100b,100c,100d) and methods (1000a,1000b) for manufacturing. A photoluminescent (PL) or quantum dot (QD) material (100) fills a pattern of trenches (40,42) formed on a surface or on opposite surfaces of an optically transparent substrate (20), being cured and sealed by an optically transparent cover (22); in another embodiment, the PL or QD material (100) are cured and sealed when two patterned optically substrates (20) are bonded together. Sealing of the PL or QD material in the trenches (40,42) preserves the optical and performance stability of these colour filters. These colour filters (100a, . . . 100d) are suitable for use in next generation UHD display screens or lighting applications.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device (200) is described. According to a described embodiment, the method comprises: (i) forming a 111-V semiconductor material layer (206) comprising a substrate layer (208) and a device layer (210) attached to the substrate layer (208); and (ii) forming an electrically conductive interlayer (228) to the device layer (210) prior to bonding the electrically conductive interlayer (228) to a partially processed CMOS device layer (204) having at least one transistor (205).

Abstract: An integrated structure for an optoelectronic device and a method of fabricating an integrated structure for an optoelectronic device. The method comprises the steps of providing a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor, CMOS, backplane comprising a driver circuit for the optoelectronic device; and providing a plurality of optical elements on the CMOS backplane, wherein the plurality of optical elements are based on a material system different from CMOS and are disposed in different device layers; wherein a first bonding dielectric is provided between the CMOS backplane and a first one of the different device layers for monolithic integration; and wherein a second bonding dielectric is provided between respective ones of the different device layers for monolithic integration, the second bonding dielectric being transparent.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a query execution debugger, for use with a computing environment such as, for example, a business intelligence environment, database, data warehouse, or other type of environment that supports data analytics. A query engine, for example a business intelligence server instance, serves analytics queries or requests from clients, directed to data stored at a database, in accordance with a query execution plan, wherein a logical query can include query language statements received from the clients; while a physical query includes database-specific statements that the query engine sends to the database to retrieve data when processing the logical query. The system can create a query execution debugger file that includes a record metadata portion or section, and a data portion or section, and which can be used to review, simulate, or debug the processing of queries against the database.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for ergonomically supporting a worker while performing a work operation includes an automatic guided vehicle capable of moving a seat carrying the worker between a first non-work position relative to a work piece and a second work position at which the worker performs the work operation. The automatic guided vehicle includes controls to enable the worker to ergonomically position the angle of a seatback relative to a seat bottom and the height of the seat relative to the automatic guided vehicle for ergonomic support of the worker while performing the work operation. Under program control, the automatic guided vehicle is movable from one work position to another work position and/or back to the non-work position.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for performing a SQL bypass in a business intelligence (BI) server environment. The BI server initially receives a SQL query and constructs an extensible markup language (XML) representation of the SQL query. The XML representation is sent to an application server that hosts an application developer framework (ADF). The ADF receives the XML representation of the SQL query and constructs a composite view object at runtime, to access the appropriate data. It then generates a database-specific query based on the composite view object and returns it to the BI server. The BI server replans the database-specific query and sends it to a database storing the data.

Abstract: A new tire design superseding current conventional single-chamber tire design is delineated. This new invention incorporates the use of multiple independent chambers arranged side-by-side to improve vehicular safety and functionality. This design is an improvement over prior art utilizing concentric dual chambers by maintaining tire height in the event of a single chamber puncture. During such blow outs, steering and ride would be unimpeded, allowing driver to complete travel and replace damaged tire at a more convenient time. Much time will be saved in not requiring driver to either change the punctured tire immediately or to call and wait for road service assistance. This feature is especially important in military, police, or commercial applications where uninterrupted and unaffected travel is crucial to ensuring occupant safety, achieving mission objectives, or meeting delivery or travel deadlines.

Abstract: A process for preparing animal fee blocks requiring minimum physical compression which consists of adding an aqueous feed mixture to dry or semi-moist nutritive ingredients and at least one alkaline earth metal oxide. The resulting non-pourable and non-pumpable mixture is then transferred to a receiver, such as a mold, and subjected to compression.
