Abstract: An interconnect structure on a semiconductor die includes: a lower conductive layer; an upper conductive layer disposed above the lower conductive layer; and a VIA disposed between the lower conductive layer and the upper conductive layer. The VIA includes: a primary interconnect structure and a sacrificial stress barrier ring disposed around the primary interconnect structure and separated a distance from the primary interconnect structure. A fabrication method for the interconnect structure includes: forming a dielectric layer over a lower conductive layer; patterning photoresist (PR) layer over the dielectric layer to define a location for a plurality of VIA trenches, wherein the patterning includes patterning the PR layer to provide a center opening for the VIA trenches that is surrounded by a ring opening for the VIA trenches, wherein the center opening and the ring opening are spaced apart.

Abstract: A tool set includes a tool holder, a tool and a tool rack. The tool has a groove unit. The tool holder has a latch unit that engages the groove unit. The tool rack includes a rack body and a blocking member. When the tool holder is moved away from the rack body after the tool is moved into the rack body by the tool holder and after the blocking member moves to a blocking position, the tool is blocked by the blocking member so that the latch unit is separated from the groove unit and that the tool holder is separated from the tool.

Abstract: The present application relates to use of transglutaminases to treat various products, including medical devices such as tissue grafts, tissue matrices or other tissue-derived materials, and synthetics. The transglutaminases can be applied to the medical devices to provide advantages such as adhesion resistance or abrasion resistance.

Abstract: A method for preventing malicious software from attacking files of a computer system includes the following steps. Whether a file type of a specific file corresponding to an input/output (I/O) request is a to-be-backed-up file type is checked, wherein the to-be-backed-up file type belongs to one of multiple predetermined file types susceptible to malicious software attack. When the file type of the specific file is the to-be-backed-up file type, a backup already tag in a file context tag structure of the specific file is checked. When the backup already tag shows that the specific file has not been backed up, a backup process is performed for the specific file.

Abstract: A detection system for determining whether an update of at least one application installed on at least one whitelisted host is legitimate is provided. The system includes an update management server and update detectors installed with the application(s). During a process that software automatic update occurs in each update detector and a corresponding update installation package is executed, the executed update installation package generates at least one updater corresponding to each application. Each update detector transmits report information which includes the information of the at least one updater and sampled executable files to the update management server. The update management server obtains a number of update detectors, having performed the update operation of each application, according to the report information of each update detector. If the number is greater than or equal to a threshold value, it is determined that the update is legitimate.

Abstract: The present application relates to a polymeric material coating with a combination of acellular tissue matrix particles, transglutaminase, and an at least partially denatured collagen. Methods of producing the coated material and methods of treatment using the coated material are provided.

Abstract: A system and method for synchronizing publication and subscription of message queues are provided. The method includes: providing a message broker cluster including a plurality of message brokers each having a buffer queue and a data queue; as any one of the message brokers requests a synchronization requirement, selecting, by an orchestration server, one of the message brokers in the message broker cluster to perform data synchronization; setting a data read-lock to the data queue of the selected message broker sequentially to write data contents in the buffer queues of all of the plurality of message brokers into the data queue of the selected message broker; and copying the complete data contents in the data queue of the selected message broker to the data queues of the other message brokers, allowing the data contents in the data queues of each of the message brokers to be consistent.
