Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for activating a flood event warning are described herein. In the context of a method, a location may be identified as a flood prone location. Data relating to the flood prone location may be received from one or more remote devices. The method may determine a flood confidence for the flood prone location based upon the data. The method may identify an active flood event for the flood prone location based on the flood confidence and cause a flood event warning to be activated in an instance in which the active flood event is identified.

Abstract: Novel human MOAT genes and their encoded proteins are provided herein. The MRP-related ABC transporters encoded by the disclosed nucleic acid sequences play a pivotal role in the efflux of pharmacologically beneficial reagents from tumor cells. MOAT genes and their encoded proteins provide valuable therapeutic targets for the design of anti-cancer agents which inhibit the aberrant growth of malignant cells.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a phase-change memory in which the lower electrode of the phase-change memory device is formed using barrier metal for forming a metal interconnection and a via in damascene and dual damascene processes. The method includes the steps of patterning an insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate, sequentially forming barrier metal and metal on the patterned insulating layer, polishing the metal by a CMP process to planarize the metal and patterning the planarized barrier metal to a lower electrode of a desired phase-change memory device, depositing an insulating layer on the patterned lower electrode, forming a hole in the deposited insulating layer, and forming an upper electrode on the resultant material to pattern the upper electrode, and depositing an insulating layer on the upper electrode and forming a via for connecting a metal interconnection and the lower electrode to each other. Therefore, additional deposition for forming the lower electrode is not necessary.

Abstract: Provided are a multi-scale cantilever structure having nano-sized holes prepared by anodic oxidation and a method of preparing the same. The multi-scale cantilever structure is prepared using anodic oxidation and electro-polishing so that a manufacturing process is simple and a manufacturing cost is inexpensive. In addition, the multi-scale cantilever structure has a porous structure having a plurality of nano-sized holes inside thereof, and thus a surface area of the cantilever structure can be maximized. Therefore, when the cantilever structure is used in a sensor, the sensor can have improved sensitivity and selectivity.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for forming substrates for MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) transistor, comprising the following steps: (A) In a reduced-pressure environment having a pressure lower than 1×10?6 Torr, a base for accomplishing the surface reconstruction and a solid-state metal oxide source is provided, wherein the solid-state metal oxide source is chosen from the group consisting of the following: hafnium oxide, aluminum oxide, scandium oxide, yttrium oxide, titanium oxide, gallium gadolinium oxide and metal oxides of rare earth elements; and (B) vaporize the solid-state metal oxide source in order to make the solid-state metal oxide source become a metal oxide molecular beam and, in a working substrate temperature that is required to achieve an amorphous state of a first metal oxide film, deposit on the base having an amorphous state so as to further fabricate a substrate for MOS transistors.

Abstract: A white light emitting device is composed of at least more than one blue light LED which can emit a blue light, at least more than one red light LED which can emit a red light, and an illuminator made by uniformly mixing a greenish yellow illumination material, a blue illumination material, and a transparent glue, wherein the illuminator can absorb the blue light, such that the illuminator will be excited to a first mixed light having a wavelength different than that of the blue light. The first mixed light is mixed with a red light emitted from the red light LED to release a second mixed light which is provided with a high rendering effect and saturation of color.

Abstract: A winding method of a motor stator comprises the steps of serially winding a wire on a plurality of odd poles along a first direction; pulling out a common terminal from the wire to serve as a first power terminal; serially winding the wire on a plurality of even poles along a second direction; and knotting a start and an end of the wire to form a second power terminal. A single-phase motor comprises a stator and a rotor. The stator has a plurality of poles and a wire, and the rotor cooperates with the stator. The wire serially winds odd poles of the plurality of poles along a first direction and then serially winds even poles of the plurality of poles along a second direction.

Abstract: A field emission display (FED) with an integrated triode structure is provided. The FED can be manufactured without using a complex packaging process and have a significantly reduced well diameter and a significantly reduced cathode-to-anode distance. In the FED, front and rear panels form a single body using an anode insulating layer as an intermediate. A method for manufacturing the FED using anodic oxidation is also provided.

Abstract: A board includes a number of cavities enclosed by a plate, to slidably receive a number of magnetic members, each of the magnetic members includes an outer end facing toward and movable toward the plate. A magnetic pen is movable on the board, to attract selected magnetic members toward the plate, and to have the outer ends of the selected magnetic members to be selectively seen through the plate. A liquid may be received in the cavities of the board to shield the magnetic members, and to prevent the magnetic members from being seen through the plate when the magnetic members are retracted into the cavities of the board.
