  • Patent number: 9710281
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to register comparison for register comparison for operand store compare (OSC) prediction. An aspect includes, for each instruction in an instruction group of a processor pipeline: determining a base register value of the instruction; determining an index register value of the instruction; and determining a displacement of the instruction. Another aspect includes comparing the base register value, index register value, and displacement of each instruction in the instruction group to the base register value, index register value, and displacement of all other instructions in the instruction group. Another aspect includes based on the comparison, determining that a load instruction of the instruction group has a probable OSC conflict with a store instruction of the instruction group. Yet another aspect includes delaying the load instruction based on the determined probable OSC conflict.

  • Publication number: 20170190968
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for fabricating a phosphor. A first solution is formed by dissolving potassium hexafluorogermanate (K2GeF6) and either K2MnF6 or KMnO4 in a hydrofluoric acid solution. An anhydrous ethanol is added to the first solution to make a total concentration of fluoride ions of potassium hexafluorogermanate (K2GeF6), hydrofluoric acid, and either K2MnF6 or KMnO4 equal to or less than 48M to form a precipitate. Afterward, the precipitate is collected.

  • Publication number: 20170193147
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of fabricating an integrated circuit (IC) using a multiple (N>2) patterning technique. The method provides a layout of the IC having a set of IC features. The method further includes deriving a graph from the layout, the graph having vertices connected by edges, the vertices representing the IC features, and the edges representing spacing between the IC features. The method further includes selecting vertices, wherein the selected vertices are not directly connected by an edge, and share at least one neighboring vertex that is connected by N edges. The method further includes using a computerized IC tool to merge the selected vertices, thereby reducing a number of edges connecting the neighboring vertex to be below N. The method further includes removing a portion of the vertices that are connected by less than N edges.

    Abstract: Provided is a configuration of a driver integrated circuit that can output a voltage exceeding the withstand voltage of a process, and that satisfies required apparatus performance (high speed and high voltage). A differential input circuit, a level shift circuit, and an output circuit are manufactured by the same process and divided and disposed on three or more chips with different substrate potentials (sub-potentials). By setting different applied voltages to the substrates of the chips, an output voltage greater than the process withstand voltage can be provided (see FIG. 2).

  • Publication number: 20170123382
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for enabling devices to determine the time zone in which they are located. A mobile device may receive location information from one or more sources. Based thereon, the current location of the mobile device may be determined in terms of latitude and longitude. The indication of the current location may be converted to an index value according to a Hilbert curve (or other space-filling curve), and the index value applied to a time zone index file to determine the local time zone. A time zone setting of the mobile device may be updated accordingly. Furthermore, “geofencing” may be used by the mobile device to detect movement towards and through a time zone boundary, leading to a new time zone determination being initiated.

  • Publication number: 20170122357
    Abstract: A screw with a cutting surface at a tapered distal end thereof comprises a stem; a tapered end; a thread formed thereon; and a cutting surface cutting through the tapered end. A slope of the cutting surface with respect to an extending central axis of the stem is greater than or equal to a slope of an original surface of the tapered end with respect to the extending central axis of the stem. The cutting surface is a flat surface or a concave surface. A distal end of the cutting surface passes through or does not pass through or exactly at an extending central axis of the stem. When the tapered end drills an object, the cutting surface will cut the object rapidly, such as cements, stones, woods and the combination structures thereof. The object will not crack. The operation is easy and force-saved.

  • Patent number: 9636089
    Abstract: A drug test device for bodily fluids, such as urine, includes a cup and a removable lid which houses one or more test strips. The lid is releasably locked onto the cup so as to align dipping ends of the test strips exposed through an underside of the lid with a position stabilizer, thereby causing the dipping ends to be located downwardly and submerged in fluid when the device is placed on its side in a reactive position. The position stabilizer may comprise a sidewall indentation that reduces the internal volume of the cup and keeps the cup from rolling when placed on its side.

  • Patent number: 9630191
    Abstract: A spray structure of a water spray gun is formed on a surface cover of the water spray gun. The surface cover is formed with a plurality of spray orifices. The inner side of the surface cover is formed with annular flanges each corresponding to the edge of each spray orifice. Each flange is formed with a tangential opening. The surface cover of the present invention is formed with the tangential opening instead of the inclined opening of the water distribution member of the prior art. When the water flows to the tangential opening and then enters the flange to be rotated and sprayed out through the spray orifices. The tangential opening of the present invention is flat and smooth and won't be blocked. The water spray gun won't be damaged easily and has a long service life. The cost is reduced.
