  • Publication number: 20240096784
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an integrated chip including an extended via that spans a combined height of a wire and a via and that has a smaller footprint than the wire. The extended via may replace a wire and an adjoining via at locations where the sizing and the spacing of the wire are reaching lower limits. Because the extended via has a smaller footprint than the wire, replacing the wire and the adjoining via with the extended via relaxes spacing and allows the size of the pixel to be further reduced. The extended via finds application for capacitor arrays used for pixel circuits.

  • Patent number: 11641346
    Abstract: A data anonymity method and a data anonymity system are provided. The data anonymity method includes the following steps. A data set comprising a plurality of direct-identifiers, a plurality of quasi-identifiers and a plurality of event logs each of which includes an activity and a timestamp is obtained. A content of each of the direct-identifiers is replaced by a pseudonym. The quasi-identifiers are classified, via a group-by algorithm with k-anonymity, as a plurality of equivalence classes. The activities corresponding to each of the direct-identifiers are linked according to the timestamps to obtain a plurality of event sequences. A similarity hierarchy tree is obtained according to a plurality of edit distances among the event sequences. The event sequences are grouped according to the similarity hierarchy tree with k-anonymity to obtain at least one group. The event sequences which are in the group are generalized.

  • Publication number: 20220349225
    Abstract: A handle mechanism is to be mounted on a slidable plate and to slide the slidable plate relative to a chassis. The handle mechanism includes a handle and an engagement component. The handle is adapted to be pivotably disposed on the slidable plate so as to have an engaged position and a disengaged position. The engagement component is slidably disposed on the handle and adapted to contact the chassis to slide the slidable plate into the chassis. The engagement component has a contact surface, and the contact surface has an edge located away from an axis of the handle. A distance between the edge of the contact surface of the engagement component and the axis of the handle in the engaged position is smaller than a distance between the edge of the contact surface of the engagement component and the axis of the handle in the disengaged position.

  • Patent number: 9613223
    Abstract: A method for application management is provided. First, an original application is received. A license code is injected into the original application through a repackaging process to generate a repackaged application. Next, the repackaged application is published for a user device to download and install, wherein the user device executes a client program. When the user device executes the repackaged application, the license code sends a license check request to activate the client program to send a license check response according to license information of the repackaged application. The license check response indicates whether the repackaged application is allowed to be further executed. When the license check response indicates that the repackage application is not allowed to be further executed, the license code terminates the repackaged application.

  • Patent number: 8269785
    Abstract: An interface apparatus and a method of writing an extended display identification data (EDID) are provided. The interface apparatus includes a data processing unit, a memory unit and a switching unit. The memory unit is coupled to a connector corresponding to the memory unit and the data processing unit via the switching unit. When the interface apparatus is being initialized, the data processing unit detects whether or not the EDID stored in the memory unit is correct. If the EDID stored in the memory unit is incorrect, the data processing unit rewrites the EDID to the memory unit.
