Abstract: Adapting user interface designs for specific tasks performed by different users is a challenging yet important problem. Automatically adapting visualization designs to users and contexts (e.g., tasks, display devices, environments, etc.) can theoretically improve human-computer interaction to acquire insights from complex datasets. However, effectiveness of any specific visualization is moderated by individual differences in knowledge, skills, and abilities for different contexts. A modeling framework called Personalized Recommender System for Information visualization Methods via Extended matrix completion (PRIME) is described for recommending the optimal visualization designs for individual users in different contexts.

Abstract: Computation pipeline-dataset exploration, visualization, and recommendation concepts are described. For example, a method can include learning first visualization latent-space features of different datasets represented in a first two-dimensional latent space and second visualization latent-space features of different computation pipelines represented in a second two-dimensional latent space. The method can also include modeling dataset-pipeline interactions between the different datasets and the different computation pipelines based on the first visualization latent-space features and the second visualization latent-space features. The method can also include learning relationships between the first visualization latent-space features and the second visualization latent-space features based on modeling the dataset-pipeline interactions. In another example, the method can further include generating a visual representation of the relationships and the dataset-pipeline interactions.

Abstract: A structure of fluorescent lamp, which includes a sealed tube, electrode sets, and a passive luminous coating layer or a passive luminous body, is provided. The sealed tube is filled with a glow discharge medium, and electrode sets are assembled on two ends of the sealed tube to be contacted with the glow discharge medium and provide an electrical power to generate the electrical-glow-discharge of the glow discharge medium for emitting a glow-discharge light. The passive luminous coating layer or the passive luminous body is disposed on an outer surface of the sealed tube. The passive luminous coating layer or the passive luminous body absorbs the glow-discharge light to emit a luminous light with corresponding wavelength without being contacted with the glow discharge medium. Thus the interaction between glow discharge medium in the sealed tube and the luminous material is prevented.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a tunable, 3-dimensional solenoid utilizing CMOS fabrication technology and a back end process without using photomasks are described. In the method, two curved arms each formed of a bi-layered metal structure from metals that have different coefficients of thermal expansion for residual stress are utilized for connecting to two ends of an inductor coil formed of AlCu between the two arms. When the insulating layer of silicon dioxide is removed from the curved arms, the free ends of the arms curve up and thus, raise the inductor coil away from the surface of the semiconductor substrate into a 3-dimensional structure. When electrical voltage is applied between lower electrodes formed on the substrate and the curved arms, electrostatic force is generated to further control the length of the inductor coil by pulling down or raising the curved arms.

A single crystal silicon elastic power source is used to provide the driving power of the Fabry-Perot interferometer to avoid mechanical hysteresis.
