Abstract: A phase change material (PCM) memory cell having a metal heater element of sub-EUV dimension. The PCM memory cell includes a bottom electrode of a metal-containing material, a memory cell structure including a phase change material; and a metal heater element of sub-extreme ultraviolet (sub-EUV) dimension situated between and electrically connecting the bottom electrode and PCM memory cell structure. The metal heater element is formed of a circular via structure of sub-EUV dimension and has a seamless metal-nitride fill material. The circular via structure of sub-extreme ultraviolet (sub-EUV) dimension further includes a metal-nitride liner of sub-EUV dimension, the metal-nitride liner of sub-EUV dimension including a thicker metal-nitride liner bottom surface portion and thinner sidewall metal-nitride portions. The thicker metal-nitride liner bottom surface portion improves heat insulation and provides for high resistance/low power switching and reduced amorphous phase change material volumes.

Abstract: Vocal audio of a user together with performance synchronized video is captured and coordinated with audiovisual contributions of other users to form composite duet-style or glee club-style or window-paned music video-style audiovisual performances. In some cases, the vocal performances of individual users are captured (together with performance synchronized video) on mobile devices, television-type display and/or set-top box equipment in the context of karaoke-style presentations of lyrics in correspondence with audible renderings of a backing track. Contributions of multiple vocalists are coordinated and mixed in a manner that selects for presentation, at any given time along a given performance timeline, performance synchronized video of one or more of the contributors. Selections are in accord with a visual progression that codes a sequence of visual layouts in correspondence with other coded aspects of a performance score such as pitch tracks, backing audio, lyrics, sections and/or vocal parts.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for establishing a wireless VoIP telecommunication provides a standard interface, such as an USB interface, for connection with a computer. The apparatus further has a data distributing circuit, a storage unit and a bluetooth module. When the apparatus is connected to the computer, the apparatus acts as a flash drive to store information and will undergo a verifying process. If the verified result is valid, the bluetooth module is activated. Therefore, a user's voice signals is wirelessly received by the bluetooth module and then transmitted to a remote person through the internet networks whereby a VoIP telecommunication is established.

Abstract: Methods are provided in this invention to produce wood-like boards of polyvinylchloride, which are suitable for applications, such as graphic art, construction, furniture, etc. In one of the two embodiments disclosed in this invention, the wood-like polyvinyl chloride boards have smooth surface quality, a density below 0.95 g/cm3, good dimensional stability and strong abrasive resistance. These are produced by hot mixing, cold mixing, extrusion, calibration for quenching and subsequent cutting, to produce solid skin, foamed core products. In the other embodiment, the wood-like polyvinyl chloride boards have embossed surface quality, a density below 1.0 g/cm3, good dimensional stability and surface hardness. These are produced by hot mixing, cold mixing, extrusion and subsequent slow cooling with a roller system to produce embossed products.
