Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for forming a three-dimensional (3D) memory. In an example, the method includes forming a stack structure having interleaved a plurality of stack first layers and a plurality of stack second layers, forming a stair in the stack structure, the stair having one of the stack first layers on a top surface, and forming a layer of sacrificial material having a first portion over a side surface of the stair and a second portion over the top surface of the stair. The method also includes partially removing the first portion of the layer of sacrificial material using an anisotropic etching process and removing a remaining portion of the first portion of the layer of sacrificial material using an isotropic etching process.

The method for planning a weeding path for the weeding robot includes the following steps: acquiring an image segmentation model based on neural network model training, where the image segmentation model is configured to identify and segment a weed target feature, a soil target feature and a crop target feature; and based on the weed target feature, acquiring the weed target feature by intra-camera tracking, and acquiring the weed target feature by inter-camera tracking, and planning a weeding path for a weeding robotic arm of the weeding robot, to enable the weeding robotic arm to weed according to the weeding path.

Abstract: A lighting device (10) comprises an elongate arrangement of LEDs (14) with outer rows (r1, r2) of LEDs extending along the length direction, and at least one inner row (r3) of LEDs between the outer rows (r1, r2) of LEDs. The pitch (p1) of the LEDs of the inner row (r3) is greater than the pitch (p2) of the LEDs along the first and second outer rows (r1, r2). Thus, the spottiness of the outer rows (r1, r2) is reduced by having a smaller pitch.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a power system balance optimization method based on balancing units, including: collecting power generation and consumption information of market subjects in a balancing unit, calculating a output situation of a power generation side when the system operation cost is minimum, and judging whether to carry out a power exchange between units; the balancing unit optimizes and selects an operation strategy according to market environment, and then optimizes and selects the operation strategy according to the market environment; the disclosure carries out hierarchical management through balancing units, and the system balance costs of power generation, regulation, power exchange and fully considers balance cost of power generation, regulation, power exchange and other systems of multiple entities on the power generation side, transmission side and power consumption side.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for engineering mutant enzymes with reduced star activity where the mutant enzymes have a fidelity index (FI) in a specified buffer that is greater than the FI of the non-mutated enzyme in the same buffer.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for enzymes with altered properties that involve a systematic approach to mutagenesis and a screening assay that permits selection of the desired proteins. Embodiments of the method are particularly suited for modifying specific properties of restriction endonucleases such as star activity. The compositions includes restriction endonucleases with reduced star activity as defined by an overall fidelity index improvement factor.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dimming window and a method for manufacturing the same. The dimming window includes a cell defined by a first substrate and a second substrate, where at least one side edge of the first substrate exceeds an outside of the second substrate, and a part of the first substrate that exceeds the second substrate serves as a single substrate region; a first transparent conductive layer on one side of the first substrate facing the second substrate; a second transparent conductive layer on one side of the second substrate facing the first substrate; and a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate.

Abstract: A search engine identifies external data records that describe similar entities and may each conform to a different data format or source schema. The engine derives mappings capable of translating data values between differently formatted attributes of two source schemas and uses these mappings to identify degrees of similarity between attributes and schemas. When the search engine receives a search request, the engine translates submitted search criteria into values of a first schema's attributes and then uses the mappings to map those values onto selected attributes of other schemas. The search engine then uses each schema's selected attributes to select external data records formatted in that schema. Each selected record is assigned a match score that is weighted by the similarity of the record schema's selected attributes to the search criteria. Records are then retrieved in order of decreasing match score.
