Disclosed is an organic light emitting display device including an anode, a cathode, a plurality of organic layers and a partition member. The plurality of organic layers is disposed between the anode and the cathode, where at least one layer is separated to minimize current leakage into neighboring pixels. The partition member is disposed between the neighboring pixels and configured to separate the plurality of organic layers. The least one separated layer includes a charge generation layer. Because at least one layer is separated, current leakage into neighboring pixels can be minimized. Accordingly, defects resulting from light leakage and the mixing of colors of light from neighboring pixels may be reduced and display quality is enhanced.

Dielectric supported radio-frequency cavities

A device which improves the electrical and thermomechanical performance of an RF cavity, for example, in a disk-loaded accelerating structure. A washer made of polycrystalline diamond is brazed in the middle to a copper disk washer and at the outer edge to the plane wave transformer tank wall, thus dissipating heat from the copper disk to the outer tank wall while at the same time providing strong mechanical support to the metal disk. The washer structure eliminates the longitudinal connecting rods and cooling channels used in the currently available cavities, and as a result minimizes problems such as shunt impedance degradation and field distortion in the plane wave transformer, and mechanical deflection and uneven cooling of the disk assembly.

Complexity change detection for video transmission system

A video transmission system includes an encoder and a decoder. As video data is encoded, the system uses temporal or spatial prediction to reduce the number of bits needed to encode frames. An increase in the complexity of the data results when motion vectors or patterns occurs. The complexity change is detected for intra-frame and inter-frame frames by monitoring statistics and motion estimation information for the macroblocks within the current frame. Once the complexity change is detected, the encoder or the system takes actions to prevent latency, bit rate fluctuation or quality degradation for the video transmission.
