Abstract: A spectrometer and a fabrication method thereof. The spectrometer includes: a first base substrate; a second base substrate opposite to the first base substrate; a detection channel between the first base substrate and the second base substrate; a quantum dot light emitting layer on a side of the first base substrate that is close to the second base substrate, and including a plurality of quantum dot light emitting units; a black matrix on the side of the first base substrate that is close to the second base substrate, and configured to separate the plurality of quantum dot light emitting units; and a sensor layer, including a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors being in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of quantum dot light emitting units.

Abstract: A bounding route is calculated between two physical locations to determine a boundary value for which subsequent route calculations or portions thereof may be compared to. The bounding route may be calculated by selecting segments of roads that satisfy certain criteria. These criteria may be based on weighting factors or parameters such as the “least distance traveled” or the “least travel time.” The bounding route and the value may then provide any route calculation program with criteria used to determine whether a search at a particular location should continue. That is, if a search at a particular location has exceeded the criteria, or equivalently, the search has gone beyond the boundary, the search is stopped because it will most likely result in an un-optimal route. This process may then be an iterative one until an optimal search with a value less than the boundary value is found.
