  • Patent number: 9437540
    Abstract: An integrated circuit structure includes a dielectric layer, and a conductive line in the dielectric layer. The conductive line has a first top surface and a second top surface lower than the first top surface, and a sidewall connecting the first top surface to the second top surface. A via includes a portion overlying the second top surface of the conductive line. The via is electrically coupled to the conductive line through the second top surface and the sidewall of the conductive line.

  • Publication number: 20130262490
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system, method and program product for performing code conversions. In one embodiment the method includes determining size of encoding space for a source file and a target file upon receipt of a code conversion request and generating a main conversion file upon determination that a target encoding space associated with said target file is smaller than a source encoding space associated with the source file. Subsequently an extension converted file is generated from the source file according to a pre-established mapping table of code conversion stored in a memory. The code conversion request is completed by using the main conversion file and said extension file together so that the source file does not need to be truncated in order to fit into the target conversion space.

  • Publication number: 20030088487
    Abstract: A travel expense reimbursement system and a method for the same are introduced. The reimbursement system can receive employee's credit card charging data from a credit card company and then can store the charging data into a database. Each of the charging data is respective to a credit card identification code. When the employee uses an employee's identification code to login the reimbursement system, the reimbursement system can base on the employee's identification code to retrieve the charging data with respect to the credit card identification code of the employee's identification code. The employee is allowed to edit the respective charging data and to restore the charging data into the database. The reimbursement system and method can also have the supervisor of the employee to confirm the charging data and then an accounting system to reimburse the travel expense to the employee.

  • Publication number: 20020194036
    Abstract: A travel system and a method are applied to a business entity. The business entity associates with at least a business partner which can communicate with the travel system. The travel system includes an employee's basic data database for storing employee's basic data and employee's identification codes and a travel data database for storing the travel application data. Every employee of the business entity has an individual employee's identification code with respect to an employee's basic data. Prior to the travel, the employee needs to register a travel application data respective to the employee's identification code. The method includes steps of: 1) the travel system forming a travel services data by combining the employee's basic data and the travel application data; 2) the travel system sending the travel services data to said business partner; and 3) the business partner performing travel services according to the travel services data.
