Stitched images generated from combinations of multiple separate images mostly have irregular boundaries. Users generally prefer rectangular boundaries. Techniques for warping an image with irregular boundaries to give the image rectangular boundaries are disclosed herein. Preliminary warping of the image into the rectangle provides a rectangular shape on which to overlay a mesh. The image is reverted to its original shape with irregular boundaries and the mesh is warped accordingly. Global optimization is applied to the image by finding an energy minimum, or reduced energy below a threshold, for a function that gives the image a rectangular shape while preserving shapes and preserving straight lines. The mesh is warped according to the solution of the function and the image is stretched and/or compressed along with the mesh. This approach generates results that are qualitatively more visually attractive than other contemporary techniques.

Disclosed in the invention is an ant colony algorithm-based high-energy efficiency wireless sensor network routing method. The method comprises three parts: cluster establishment, transmission in cluster, and transmission between clusters. When a multi-hop relay node is selected, a heuristic ant colony intelligent algorithm is employed to search a multi-hop transmission route; and during the searching process, an expectation importance influence is eliminated and a probability for node selection is completely decided by the link pheromone concentration. And when a local link pheromone is updated, a dump energy minimum value of a collaboration zone node is multiplied by link pheromone increasing degree Q and then the result is divided by transmission energy consumption, thereby completing updating. According to the new pheromone updating method, the dump energy and the transmission energy consumption of the node are scaled appropriately and then are introduced to the link pheromone updating; and when the dump energy of the collaboration zone node at the next hop is increased and the transmission energy consumption is reduced, the node can be selected. Therefore, when the routing method is used, total energy consumption of the network can be reduced; the dump energy of the network nodes can be balanced; and the working life of the network can be prolonged.

An apparatus and method is provided to accurately align a cap wafer relative to a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) wafer during a bonding process. Other materials may be accurately aligned as well. A trench is established in the MEMS wafer, and a printed substance, secured to the cap wafer, flows into the trench when a pressure is applied to the cap wafer at bond temperature. Natural forces aid in shifting the materials into a lowest energy state and self-aligns the materials into a desired position. The trench also serves as a collection trench for the flowing substance by helping to shape the substance. The trench dimensions may be used to aid in creating a hermetic seal. The alignment tolerances required conventionally during the device design stage are decreased, since the present invention provides a repeatable and accurate alignment bonding process. Chip multiple is increased and therefore chip costs are decreased.

A new class of materials for use in electric and electroluminescent devices having one or more phosphine oxide moieties bonded by single bonds to two outer groups. In embodiments having two or more phosphine oxide moieties, the two or more phosphine oxide moieties are further joined by a bridging group. By selecting appropriate bridging and outer groups, the new class of materials of the present invention enables designers to “tune” the electrical and electroluminescent characteristics of the materials. The phosphine oxide moiety restricts electron conjugation between the bridging and outer groups, isolating the bridging and outer groups from each other, and allowing the photophysical properties of the bridging and outer groups to be maintained in the molecule. The lowest energy component (bridging group or particular outer group) thus defines the triplet state, highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular energies for the entire molecule.
