The method includes forming a hardmask on a top surface of a film stack. Forming a mask material on a portion of the top surface and a portion of the hardmask. Etching the top surface. Trimming the mask. Etching the top surface again. Trimming the mask a second time. Etching the top surface yet again and then stripping the mask material.

Abstract: A communications panel includes a chassis receiving one or more tray arrangements that each support one or more cassettes. Each cassette carries a plurality of ports at which connections are made between front and rear plug connectors. Each tray arrangement includes guides along which the cassettes slidably mount. The guides and cassettes are configured to enable cassettes of various size to mount to the same tray without reconfiguring the guides.

Abstract: A system is provided for determining the position of an interventional device inside a lumen. The interventional device comprises a distal portion inside the lumen and a proximal portion outside the lumen and the system comprises a processor. The processor is configured to receive a first estimated position of the distal portion of the interventional device inside the lumen from a first system and receive an estimated displacement of the distal portion of the interventional device inside a lumen from a second system, wherein the estimated displacement is representative of the movement of the distal portion of the interventional device inside the lumen. The processor is further configured to determine a second estimated position of the distal portion of the interventional device inside the lumen based on the first estimated position and the estimated displacement.

Abstract: A method is disclosed and includes providing a first data set marking an object cross-section, determining whether the length of a connecting line undercuts a specified minimum dimension, generating a second data such that, in the event falling the minimum dimension is undercut, a position lying within an object cross-section on the connecting line is marked as a position not to be solidified or to which a reduced radiation to be supplied, and for a position lying outside of the object cross-section, positions of an object cross-section directly above or below that are adjacent to this position are marked as positions not to be solidified or to which a reduced radiation is to be supplied, and integrating the second data set into the control command set.

Abstract: Method of manufacturing a three-dimensional object of a building material by an additive layer-wise building method, wherein based on material parameters of the building material and predetermined characteristics of the object to be manufactured, an internal structure of the object having a grid structure calculated, and the three-dimensional object is manufactured with this internal structure by the additive layer-wise building method, so that it comprises the predetermined characteristics.

In one method embodiment, a browser application may be determined to be operating on a computing device, the browser application including one or more tabs wherein one of the tabs is associated with a web application. The method may further include the actions of determining that the computing device includes a fast-switch list including one or more applications operating on the computing device, and adding the web application to the fast-switch list.

Abstract: The invention relates to a nonwoven web with superior initial tensile strength. The web constructed from at least one type of fiber that has been modified to increase its specific surface area. The fiber has a specific surface area of at least 55 m2/g. The invention also relates to use of the nonwoven web with superior initial tensile strength for the making of a disposable absorbent article. These include, diapers, training pants, incontinence pants, tampons, female hygiene pads and wipes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a blown film coextrusion process. The process involves extruding core contact layers through a die exit at a specified speed and cooling, orienting and crystallizing the multi-layer film formed at a specified deformation rate to form a the frost line is a specified distance from the die exit by withdrawing film at a take up speed. The core and core contact layers are of a film forming polymer composition comprising at least 90 wt % of ethylene based polymer. The ethylene based polymer of the core layer has an average density of ethylene based polymers equal to or higher than that of ethylene based polymer of the core contact layers. The invention specifically concerns the feature that the core layer composition contains a portion of and the composition of the core contact layers contains a portion of a linear polyethylene so as to make the core layer more resistant to deformation than the skin layers.

Abstract: Apparatus for producing arrays of absorbent articles with varying orientations, and a methods for forming alternating arrays of absorbent articles, suitable to be operated at a high speed, are provided.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium estimate media performance on advertising space inventory. The method selects at least one media cell that shares one or more common attributes with a target media cell. The method subsequently estimates mean revenue per impression (RPI) of the selected media cell, and then defines an initial estimate of a RPI of the target media cell based on the estimated RPI of the selected cell. The method computes the RPI of the target media cell by combining the initial RPI estimate for the target media cell with performance data associated with the target media cell.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing routing information to a user are disclosed. Based on a request for routing information between an origin and destination for a travel objective, wireless coverage data for the geographic area associated with the travel objective is received. A graph model for determining routes between the origin and destination is adjusted based at least in part on the wireless coverage data. According to particular aspects of the present disclosure, the graph model can be adjusted based on the wireless coverage data and at least additional parameter such as estimated trip time, average speed, distance, favored routes or traffic information. User information can be optionally provided and used to emphasize or deemphasize wireless coverage data in the determination of the route for the travel objective.
