  • Publication number: 20160246773
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for generating accessible documents. In one embodiment, an initial document in a print format is obtained. The print format of the initial document is identified as one of a plurality of print formats. A parser corresponding to the one of the plurality of print formats is applied such that the initial document is parsed according to the print format of the initial document. An intermediate document that conforms to an intermediate format is generated based upon results obtained from applying the parser. A template for converting the intermediate document into an accessible document is obtained. The template is then such that an accessible document corresponding to the initial document is generated.

  • Patent number: 9260297
    Abstract: A cantilever beam structure where stress is matched and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. An example method may comprise depositing a first sub-layer of a first material with a first deposition menu and depositing a second sub-layer of the first material with a second deposition menu different from the first deposition menu. The first sub-layer and the second sub-layer can be disposed adjacent to each other to form a first layer. The method may further comprise depositing a second layer of a second material different from the first material. The first layer and the second layer can be disposed adjacent to each other. The method may further comprise matching stress between the first layer and the second layer by adjusting at least one of thicknesses of the respective sub-layers of the first layer and a thickness of the second layer.
