Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product is provided for dynamic allocation of resources. A database access pattern is determined by analyzing and monitoring traffic pattern between a pool of resources and a plurality of clients. The relationship between each of the resources is also determined. Access is enabled to a plurality of resources based on the database access and resource relationships, so that the plurality of resources can be accessed but not allocated until processing a request. A consumption model is generated that predicts resource need during a processing request based on the resource relationships, traffic pattern and resources availability. Upon receipt of a subsequent request for processing, consumption model is used to predict resource needs and to dynamically allocate, re-allocate and release the plurality of resources in a cascading manner until completion of subsequent processing request.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a CMOS image sensor having a multiple deep trench isolation (MDTI) structure, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, the image sensor comprises a boundary deep trench isolation (BDTI) structure disposed at boundary regions of a pixel region surrounding a photodiode. The BDTI structure has a ring shape from a top view and two columns surrounding the photodiode with the first depth from a cross-sectional view. A multiple deep trench isolation (MDTI) structure is disposed at inner regions of the pixel region overlying the photodiode, the MDTI structure extending from the back-side of the substrate to a second depth within the substrate smaller than the first depth. The MDTI structure has three columns with the second depth between the two columns of the BDTI structure from the cross-sectional view. The MDTI structure is a continuous integral unit having a ring shape.

Abstract: A display panel including a circuit board, a plurality of bonding pads, a plurality of light emitting devices, and a plurality of solder patterns is provided. The bonding pads are disposed on the circuit board, and each includes a first metal layer and a second metal layer. The second metal layer is located between the first metal layer and the circuit board. The first metal layer includes an opening overlapping the second metal layer. A material of the first metal layer is different from a material of the second metal layer. The light emitting devices are electrically bonded to the bonding pads. Each of the solder patterns electrically connects one of the light emitting devices and one of the bonding pads. The solder patterns each contact the second metal layer through the opening of the first metal layer of one of the bonding pads to form a eutectic bonding.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a device having a semiconductor substrate including a frontside and a backside. On the frontside of the semiconductor substrate are a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region. A gate electrode is arranged on the frontside of the semiconductor substrate and includes a horizontal portion, a first vertical portion, and a second vertical portion. The horizontal portion is arranged over the frontside of the semiconductor substrate and between the first and second source/drain regions. The first vertical portion extends from the frontside towards the backside of the semiconductor substrate and contacts the horizontal portion of the gate electrode structure. The second vertical portion extends from the frontside towards the backside of the semiconductor substrate, contacts the horizontal portion of the gate electrode structure, and is separated from the first vertical portion by a channel region of the substrate.

The image sensing elements are in the semiconductor substrate. The reflective element is in the semiconductor substrate and between the image sensing elements. The high-k dielectric structure is between the reflective element and the image sensing elements.

Abstract: The stent graft system in accordance with the present invention has a trunk, a left subclavian tube, a left common carotid tube and a brachiocephalic tube. The trunk is tubular and expandable and has a descending end, an ascending end, a left subclavian mount, a left common carotid mount and a brachiocephalic mount, for receiving the aforementioned branch tubes that are elastic and self-expandable for respectively connecting the left subclavian artery, the left common carotid artery and the brachiocephalic artery to the trunk. With the above-described structure, the present invention allows fast determination of a suitable trunk and branch tubes for a patient and allows a medical institute to prepare compatible branch tubes and trunks for a composite stent graft system instead of numerous stent grafts of various combinations of differently sized tubular bodies and branches, wherein the former requires significantly less warehousing cost than the latter.

Abstract: A vascular cannula assembly has a cannula, a tube dilator, a supporting helix and an inflatable cuff. The cannula has a distal end, a proximal end, a passage and a drainage segment. The drainage segment has multiple draining apertures communicating with the passage. A valve mounted on the distal end of the cannula can prevent air from entering the cannula. The tube dilator is selectively mounted in the passage and has a leading end and a handling end respectively protruding from the distal end and proximal end of the cannula. The supporting helix is mounted in the passage against the cannula. The inflatable cuff is mounted around the cannula between the distal end and the drainage segment. The side tubing is connected to the inflatable cuff. Since the inflatable cuff can be inflated to occlude blood draining from vena cava, use of the vascular cannula assembly can prevent injuries by snaring or looping of vessels during surgical procedures for cardiopulmonary bypass.
