Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include an adaptive pre-read manager for controlling pre-reads of the memory device. The adaptive pre-read manager receives a first set of data bits for programming to memory. The adaptive pre-read manager performing a first pass of programming including a first subset of data bits from the set of data bits. The adaptive pre-read manager compares a set of threshold operating differences to a set of differences between multiple operating conditions during the first pass of programming and current operating conditions. The adaptive pre-read manager performs an internal pre-read of the programmed first subset of data bits. The adaptive pre-read manager performs a second pass of programming using the internal pre-read and a second subset of data bits from the first set of data bits.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems including a programming manager for controlling writing data bits to a memory device. The programming manager receives a first set of data bits for programming to memory. The programming manager writes a first subset of data bits to a first wordline during a first pass of programming. The programming manager writes a second subset of data bits of the first set of data bits to a buffer. The programming manager receives a second set of data bits for programming. The programming manager writes the second subset of data bits of the first set of data bits to the first wordline during a second pass of programming to increase a bit density of memory cells in the first wordline in response to receiving the second set of data bits.

Abstract: A process for forming a patterned thin film structure on a substrate or in-mold decoration film is disclosed. A pattern is printed with a material, such as a masking coating or ink, on the substrate, the pattern being such that, in one embodiment, the desired structures will be formed in the areas where the printed material is not present, i.e., a negative image of thin film structure to be formed is printed. In another embodiment, the pattern is printed with a material that is difficult to strip from the substrate, and the desired thin film structures will be formed in the areas where the printed material is present, i.e., a positive image of the thin film structure is printed. The thin film material is deposited on the patterned substrate, and the undesired area is stripped, leaving behind the patterned thin film structure.

Abstract: This invention relates to a liquid crystal display with improved contrast ratio, switching performance, reflectivity at the Dmin state and structural integrity, and methods for its manufacture. The liquid crystal display of the present invention comprises microcups as display cells, wherein the microcups are formed from a microcup composition and filled with a liquid crystal composition.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a MultiBay with unplugging/positioning mechanism, in which the mechanism is installed over one side of a bay and equipped with an movable rod and a latch so that when a peripheral device is inserted in an insertion hole installed at one end of the bay, a brake column installed at bottom side of the peripheral device pushes against the movable rod. After the movable rod is pushed to a fixed distance, the bounced force will make the latch stick out to exactly insert in a positioning hole installed on the peripheral device, making the peripheral device be positioned at the location where another connector on top of the peripheral device and one connector installed inside another end of the bay are connected.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel patterned embossing and patterned filling methods. Both methods are simple, reliable and cost effective ways for manufacturing the segment of signage electrophoretic displays. The displays prepared by the present invention requires only one patterned electrode layer. The undesired visible line traces are eliminated and the manufacture of the present displays does not involve the costly precision registration step used in the previously known assembly processes dealing with two patterned electrodes. Moreover, the electrophoretic fluid is present only in the patterned and switchable area of the display. This not only significantly reduces the material cost, but also improves the overall display quality by reducing defects and non-uniformity.

Abstract: This invention relates to an electrophoretic display comprising cells which are filled with charged particles dispersed in a solvent and are individually sealed with a polymeric sealing layer.

Abstract: A miniature colored digital placard structure has on a small wearable housing a colored displaying screen and a communication connecting port for connecting exteriorly for downloading digital image data; the housing has therein a driving control-unit, a memory storing unit, a set of batteries and an automatic playing unit. The driving control-unit is connected on its one end with the communication connecting port, and is connected on its other end with the displaying screen, in order to receive digital image data for converting into images to be presented in the displaying screen. The memory storing unit is connected with the driving control-unit to store the digital image data; the batteries provide electric power required by a circuit; while the automatic playing unit sequentially plays the selected digital image data. The structure can be applied to displaying images on ornaments, various miniature placards or warning marks.

Abstract: A plug-and-play video transmitting device comprises a converting main machine and a receiver. Wherein the converting main machine includes a first station-selecting control unit, a first control unit, a compressing unit and a first signal receiving and emitting unit; the receiver includes a second signal receiving and emitting unit, a second control unit and a decompressing unit. With these elements, a power line in a socket of a district power supply system carries the television signals and transmits them after they are compressed by the converting main machine; so that a normal television set can synchronically obtain power from a socket of a district power supply system directly through the receiver and decompress the compressed signals. In this way, the effect of convenient assembling and the effect of plug-and-play without arrangement of lines can be obtained.
