  • Patent number: 11990488
    Abstract: A grid structure in a pixel array may be at least partially angled or tapered toward a top surface of the grid structure such that the width of the grid structure approaches a near-zero width near the top surface of the grid structure. This permits the spacing between color filter regions in between the grid structure to approach a near-zero spacing near the top surfaces of the color filter regions. The tight spacing of color filter regions provided by the angled or tapered grid structure provides a greater surface area and volume for incident light collection in the color filter regions. Moreover, the width of the grid structure may increase at least partially toward a bottom surface of the grid structure such that the wider dimension of the grid structure near the bottom surface of the grid structure provides optical crosstalk protection for the pixel sensors in the pixel array.

  • Patent number: 11834867
    Abstract: An anti-theft lock includes an engaging member arranged on a chassis, a latch module including a connecting member and a latch coupled to the connecting member, a fixing module coupled to the connecting member, a magnetic module arranged on the top cover and used to cooperate with the fixing module to control movement of the connecting member, and an unlocking mechanism including magnetic members. The connecting member is movably arranged on a top cover. The latch is engaged with or separated from the engaging member through movement of the connecting member. The magnetic members are attracted to or repelled from the magnetic module so that the magnetic module fixes or loosens the connecting member. When the connecting member can move, the latch is disengaged from and separated from the engaging member.

  • Patent number: 9177146
    Abstract: A database of known graphical user interface layouts is generated using samples of known executable files. An executable file having an unknown function is obtained; it is executed within a safe environment and its graphical user interface is identified. Layout analysis enumerates all of the windows within the interface and extracts the position values of each window and the dimension values of each window to form a set of layout information. If the layout database contains this layout information set then it is determined that the layout information is of the same type of software corresponding to the type of software contained within the database (or of the type of software to which the layout information is matched within the database). A match may occur if all the windows match, if only some percentage of the windows match, or if the windows do not match exactly but the dimensions of the corresponding window in the database are within a certain percentage.
