Seamless, maskless lithography system using spatial light modulator

The invention is a seamless projection lithography system that eliminates the need for masks through the use of a programmable Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) with high parallel processing power. Illuminating the SLM with a radiation source (1), which while preferably a pulsed laser may be a shuttered lamp or multiple lasers with alternating synchronization, provides a patterning image of many pixels via a projection system (4) onto a substrate (5). The preferred SLM is a Deformable Micromirror Device (3) for reflective pixel selection using a synchronized pulse laser. An alternative SLM is a Liquid Crystal Light Valve (LCLV) (45) for pass-through pixel selection. Electronic programming enables pixel selection control for error correction of faulty pixel elements. Pixel selection control also provides for negative and positive imaging and for complementary overlapping polygon development for seamless uniform dosage. The invention provides seamless scanning by complementary overlapping scans to equalize radiation dosage, to expose a pattern on a large area substrate (5). The invention is suitable for rapid prototyping, flexible manufacturing, and even mask making.

Method for reducing random access memory of IC in display devices

A method for reducing random access memory (RAM) of an IC in display devices includes transforming a digital signal of a graphic data of three original colors (R, G, B) to digital signals of Y:Cb:Cr; taking one sample from two sample ratios of Y:Cb:Cr (4:2:0) or Y:Cb:Cr (4:2:2); storing in the RAM of a driving IC to reduce the RAM usage (with compressible data); then transforming the Y:Cb:Cr signals to three original colors (R, G, B) signal format to output image data, wherein Y represents brightness signal, and Cb and Cr represent color signals.

Manufacture method and device of three-dimensional workpiece

The invention provides a method and equipment using organic adhesive mixed solvent and powder to manufacture three-dimensional workpieces. The work principle is as follows: the raw materials are stirred into slurry, which is laid as a green compact thin layer that can disintegrate in disintegrant; the green compact thin layer can form a workpiece thin layer that does not disintegrate in the disintegrant after scanned by an energy beam; in such a cycle, the steps of laying the thin layer and energy beam scanning are repeated, and then the three-dimensional workpiece can be formed; and the disintegant is used for separating the green compact not scanned by the energy beam from the workpiece, thus remaining the needed three-dimensional workpiece. The invention is widely applicable to manufacturing plastic, metallic, ceramic and compound workpieces, can avoid the defects of a selective laser sintering method, can use fine and very thin powder and therefore, can manufacture a finished product which is better than that made in the traditional selective laser sintering method in surface roughness and texture fineness, in addition, through subsequent densified sintering, the metallic and ceramic workpieces can have the strength superior to that in the traditional selective laser sintering method.

Drilling tool including a shank and a cutting body detachably secured thereto

A drilling tool includes a shaft having a front end to which a cutting body provided with cutting edges is detachably connected. In the front end of the shaft, a seat is formed which is delimited by spaced-apart protrusions between which there is a bottom surface. In the protrusion, there is a threaded hole for a screw, which when tightened applies pre-stressing forces to the cutting body. On the inside of the opposite protrusion, there is a supporting shoulder against which the cutting body is pressed when the screw is tightened and applies a lateral pre-stressing force to the cutting body. The protrusions are laterally displaced in relation to each other in order to freely expose the screw beside one of the protrusions.

Edge information-based multi-scale blurred image blind restoration method

The invention discloses an edge information-based multi-scale blurred image blind restoration method, which comprises the following steps of: circularly and gradually restoring an image from a small scale layer to a large scale layer, setting self-adaptive parameters at different scales, and processing each scale layer, namely bilaterally filtering the restored image to obtain an image of which the noise and ripple are removed; performing shock wave filtering to obtain an image with high-strength contrast edges; solving the edges, and combining a fuzzy core initial value and a fuzzy graph to obtain an accurate fuzzy core; restoring a fuzzy image at the current scale to obtain a clear restored image by using the solved fuzzy core; sampling and amplifying in the current scale layer to obtain the restored image and a fuzzy core initial value of an adjacent large scale layer, and performing cycle operation on the adjacent large scale layer. The edge information-based multi-scale blurred image blind restoration method can effectively converge various images in different fuzzy degrees, and compared with a general blind restoration method which directly solves the energy minimization, the blurred image blind restoration method has the advantages of low computational complexity and high noise suppression capacity.

Methods and apparatus for expressing body fluid from an incision

A sample of a body fluid such as blood or interstitial fluid is obtained from a body by lancing a portion of a user's skin, preferably in an area other than a finger tip, to form an incision. After the needle has been removed from the incision, a force is applied to depress the skin in a manner forming a ring of depressed body tissue in surrounding relationship to the incision, causing the incision to bulge and the sides of the incision to open, whereby body fluid is forced out through the opening of the incision. A stimulator member is mounted to an end of a lancet-carrying housing for applying the force. The stimulator member can be movable relative to the housing, and can be either heated or vibrated to promote movement of the body fluid.

Head-mounted pointing and control device

A magnetic tracker system for use on an operator's head makes “mouse” / cursor movements on a screen similar to that of the classic computer “mouse” / track ball / touchpad / joystick. Only head movements are used as opposed to lifting a hand from the keyboard for making such moves. The new “mouse” avoids interrupting the hands from their position on the keyboard and has no moving mechanical parts that become clogged and that need a special surface (mouse pad) or special surface measurements (optical mouse).

A geared cam expandable spinal implant. Rotational motion of a rotating portion is translated into linear motion of a yoke, which moves geared cams at the distal end of the implant to mate with, and walk along, teeth of corresponding racks.
