Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for fabricating a touch substrate, a touch substrate and a touch device. The method includes: forming, through a splicing exposure process, a first electrode layer including a metal strip in an edge region thereof and a first metal mesh pattern connected with the metal strip; forming, on one side of the first electrode layer and through a splicing exposure process, a second electrode layer including a metal strip in an edge region thereof and a second metal mesh pattern connected with the metal strip and insulated from the first metal mesh pattern, the metal strip of the first electrode layer directly contacting the metal strip of the second electrode layer to form a metal stack; and forming a wire electrically connected with one of the first and metal mesh patterns of the first and second electrode layers by using the metal stack.

Abstract: Computing devices and methods for producing vibrations in computing devices are disclosed. In one example, a computing device comprises a chassis that includes a trackpad comprising a printed circuit board. A haptic actuator assembly comprises at least one conductive coil formed on or affixed to the printed circuit board, and at least one magnet rigidly affixed to the chassis. The magnet is spaced from and not mechanically coupled to the at least one conductive coil. A memory stores instructions executable by a processor to receive a haptic event requests, determine that the trackpad is not in use, and at least on condition of receiving the haptic event request and determining that the trackpad is not in use, cause a driver signal to be sent to the conductive coil(s) to cause the at least one magnet to produce user-perceptible vibrations in the chassis beyond the trackpad.

Abstract: Variations in the manufacturing, tolerances, and environmental conditions, for example, of haptic trackpads can cause mechanical properties to vary click-by-click and unit-by-unit. Also, as time goes, mechanical wear or material degradation within each trackpad may change its mechanical properties. All of which may cause the haptic response received by the user to vary across similarly designed trackpads, and also change over time on the same trackpad. This may be interpreted by the user as an indication of low product quality. The following describes in detail haptic trackpads including accelerometers that enable active control and/or calibration. This allows for a more uniform user experience across a manufacturing run of trackpads and/or throughout the projected life of individual trackpads.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of providing data governance as data flows within and between networks, comprising: using a global computing device, retrieving data stored in a plurality of local ledgers and written by a plurality of local computing devices, wherein validity of the data stored in the plurality of local ledgers has not been verified prior to writing; using the global computing device, determining that the plurality of local ledgers is cryptographically consistent and, in response to the determination, updating a global ledger with the data stored in the plurality of local ledgers.

Abstract: Supplementing the movement stroke of a trackpad with a haptic response is one way to restore some or all of a reduced trackpad feel and overall performance caused by a reduction in the movement stroke. However, incorporating haptic responses in a clickable trackpad may interfere with accurate force measurement using physical movement of the trackpad as a proxy. The following describes haptic trackpads with anisotropic compliant spacers. The disclosed haptic trackpads permit selective haptic responses to a user, while also permitting accurate force measurement using displacement of a sensing surface caused by the user's finger(s) as a proxy.

Abstract: A heterogeneous database storage system based on optical disk includes a magnetic disk storage device and an optical disk storage device connecting, via a data connection, to a server. A relational database management system, a non-relational database management system, a data processor and a database connector are installed on the server. Fields of a record are divided into two parts by the data processor. A part of the fields are in a relational database, and the other part of the fields are in a non-relational database. Fields of the relational database constitute a subrecord of the relational database, and Fields of the non-relational database constitute a subrecord of the non-relational database. The subrecord of the relation database and the corresponding subrecord of the non-relational database form an integral record by the database connector.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for deforming patient images obtained with a couch of one set of physical properties (e.g. curvature) based on the physical properties (e.g. curvature) of a couch where radiation therapy treatment will be performed. Also disclosed herein is a radiotherapy delivery system which includes a non-flat couch top, on-couch planning, and optional deformable image registration. The methods and systems use images from scanners of various couch top shapes for treatment of radiotherapy patients without a need for specialized treatment planning imaging. In such methods and systems, treatment delivery can be performed based on only diagnostic images and setup images acquired at the time of treatment on the treatment machine. The radiotherapy delivery systems can include any combination of volumetric imaging with radiotherapy treatments with photon, proton, electron, and\or other particle radiation.
