The stiffening cannula as a distal section of greater flexibility than the flexibility of a proximal section for providing kink resistance to the apparatus.

A decorative eyeglass having a pair of temple frames adapted to receive an interchangeable temple insert with a decorative insert attached thereon. A flanged channel disposed in the temple bar of the temple frame is adapted to receive the temple insert through an end opening disposed in the proximal end of the temple frame. The temple insert includes a perimeter ridge rising above a central recessed surface adapted to receive the decorative insert and a flat temple end protecting the edges of the decorative insert from fraying and wear. The perimeter flanges of the temple insert prevent the temple insert from entering or exiting the channel via the side opening.

A GaN-on-Si device structure and a method of fabrication are disclosed for improved die yield and device reliability of high current/high voltage lateral GaN transistors. A plurality of conventional GaN device structures comprising GaN epi-layers are fabricated on a silicon substrate (GaN-on-Si die). After processing of on-chip interconnect layers, a trench structure is defined around each die, through the GaN epi-layers and into the silicon substrate. A trench cladding is provided on proximal sidewalls, comprising at least one of a passivation layer and a conductive metal layer. The trench cladding extends over exposed surfaces of the GaN epi-layers, over the interface region with the substrate, and over the exposed surfaces of the interconnect layers. This structure reduces risk of propagation of dicing damage and defects or cracks in the GaN epi-layers into active device regions. A metal trench cladding acts as a barrier for electro-migration of mobile ions.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle tailgate for mounting pivotally to a vehicle about hinges situated close to one of the edges of the tailgate. In the vicinity of its hinges, the tailgate is constituted by a main panel secured to the hinges and by a secondary panel which is movable relative to the main panel between a closed position in which it is superposed on the main panel so as to reconstitute a tailgate of full thickness, and an open position in which it is separate from the main panel, the main panel then forming a portion of the tailgate of reduced thickness.

A process for fabricating a novel random access memory (RAM) capacitor in a shallow trench isolation (STI). The method utilizes a novel node photoresist mask for plasma etching recesses in the STI that prevents plasma-etch-induced defects in the substrate. This novel photoresist mask is used to etch bottle-shaped recesses in the STI under a first hard mask. After forming bottom electrodes in the recesses and forming an interelectrode dielectric layer, a conducting layer is deposited sufficiently thick to fill the recesses and to form a planar surface, and a second hard mask is deposited. The conducting layer is patterned to form the capacitor top electrodes. This reduced topography results in reduced leakage currents when the gate electrodes are formed over the capacitor top electrodes.

The invention relates to a 3D-HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) multi-resolution video coding method. According to the method, a basic viewpoint video is coded inside a video coder by adopting an original resolution while a dependent viewpoint video is coded by adopting a lower resolution. According to the method, down-sampling of the basic viewpoint video is taken as a reference frame of the dependent viewpoint video, and meanwhile down-sampling is performed on the dependent viewpoint video in the coder. In a decoder, accurate up-sampling is performed on a brightness component by adopting a six-tap filter with a double-filter interpolation method, and up-sampling is performed on a chromaticity component by adopting a four-tap filter since the sensitivity of human eyes to the change of video image brightness is higher than the sensitivity to the change of chromaticity. Through adoption of the method, the algorithm complexity is lowered on the premise of keeping the coding performance.
