Method and apparatus for storing records in non-uniform access memory. In various embodiments, the placement of records is localized in one or more regions of the memory. This can be accomplished utilizing different ordered lists of hash functions to preferentially map records to different regions of the memory to achieve one or more performance characteristics or to account for differences in the underlying memory technologies. For example, one ordered list of hash functions may localize the data for more rapid access. Another list of hash functions may localize the data that is expected to have a relatively short lifetime. Localizing such data may significantly improve the erasure performance and/or memory lifetime, e.g., by concentrating the obsolete data elements in one location. Thus, the two or more lists of ordered hash functions may improve one or more of access latency, memory lifetime, and/or operation rate.

A semiconductor device has an n⁻-semiconductor layer and p⁺-diffusion regions each having a depth of 14 to 20 μm (design value) selectively formed in the n⁻ semiconductor layer. With the entire surface of the chip irradiated with light ions, such as He ions, a lifetime killer is introduced from a position d2 shallower than a position d1 of a p-n junction surface, formed from the n⁻-semiconductor layer and the p⁺-diffusion regions, to a position d3 deeper than the position d1 to form a short-lifetime region over the entire chip. The irradiation is carried out so that the light ion irradiation half width is not more than the depth of the p⁺-diffusion regions and a position of a peak of the light ions becomes deeper than the light ion irradiation half width and within the range between 80% and 120% of the depth of the p⁺-diffusion regions. Thus, in a semiconductor device such as a converter diode, a capability for a high decay rate of a reverse recovery current di/dt can be brought sufficiently high to such an extent that the device can withstand a lightening surge with a low forward voltage VF being kept low.

A driver (DD, SD, PD1, PS1, PD2, PS2) supplies, at a frame rate, a first current (I1) with a first duty cycle being smaller than one to a first light emitting element (PL1) of an active matrix display (AMD) and a second current (I2) to a second light emitting element (PL2) of the active matrix display (AMD). The second light emitting element (PL2) has a shorter lifetime than the first light emitting element (PL1). The driver (DD, SD, PD1, PS1, PD2, PS2) limits controls the second duty cycle to be larger than the first duty cycle.

Electric charge remaining on a photoreceptor after transfer causes image deterioration. According to one conventional method widely used in view of this problem, erase light is emitted onto a photoreceptor after the transfer to remove the electric charge remaining on the photoreceptor. However, such a method poses the following problem: emission of erase light leads to light-induced fatigue of the photoreceptor, and as a result, the photoreceptor which has deteriorated from the light-induced fatigue wears down due to abrasion and the like with a cleaner blade, resulting in a shorter lifetime of the photoreceptor. Thus, the thickness of the photosensitive layer is detected to acquire the amount of thickness decrease, and the amount of the erase light is reduced according to the acquired amount of thickness decrease.

In producing alkanolamines by use of a microporous material as a catalyst, the difficulty in industrially performing the production because of the short lifetime of the catalyst is resolved. A process of regenerating the catalyst by removing an organic substance deposited on the catalyst by means of decomposing and/or extracting the substance is introduced, and thereby steady production is carried out substantially over the long term by switching the reaction and the regenerating processes.

The technique also includes assigning at least a portion of a first system resource to the active first device for use in the first transaction, when the first lifetime corresponds to a long-lifetime. Finally, the technique includes assigning at least a portion of a second system resource to the active first device for use in the first transaction, when the first lifetime corresponds to a short-lifetime. In this case, the second system resource was previously reserved to one or more inactive second devices, included within the multiple devices.

The invention provides a method for prognosis judgment of colon cancer. The method comprises the step of detecting the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide, wherein the amino acid sequence is the sequence shown in SEQ NO.1 or a sequence with 99% of display content identical with the display content of the sequence shown in SEQ NO.1. A novel marker, namely HOXB-AS3 polypeptide, for prognosis evaluation and judgment of colon cancer is also provided. Clinical study proves that low expression or expression failure of the HOXB-AS3 polypeptide in colon cancer tissue is positively related to poor prognosis of colon cancer patients, and patients with low HOXB-AS3 polypeptide level in colon cancer tissue have higher death rate and shorter lifetime. Therefore, by using the HOXB-AS3 polypeptide as the biomarker, the positive coincidence rate is effectively increased when the kit is clinically applied to prognosis judgment of colon cancer. Furthermore, by detecting the level of the HOXB-AS3 polypeptide in a biological sample tissue slice, generation, malignancy grade and metastatic potential of colon cancer can be judged easily.

The system and method for creating plasma flares in air by using an ultra-short pulse laser (USPL) that generates plasma filaments with a short lifetime (in nanoseconds), and by heating these plasma filaments with intense microwave (RF) radiation to induce robust air breakdown, resulting in long lifetime (up to milliseconds) plasma flares in the atmosphere.

A cost effective manufacturing process encapsulates a light emitting polymer (LEP) device between two flexible sheet materials, where one sheet may act as the substrate for the LEP device and the other sheet may act as a cover for the LEP device, and at least one of the sheets is transparent. Both encapsulating sheets and, as required, an adhesive system binding the sheets together provide sufficient environmental barriers with low moisture vapor transmission rates (MVTR) and oxygen transmission rates (OTR). The encapsulating sheets may, for example, be laminated together, sandwiching the LEP device in a vacuum, or oxygen/moisture free, and inert gas environment. Prior to encapsulation the LEP device may be heated and placed in a vacuum to remove moisture, air and residual solvents. The process may also be designed for roll to roll, sometimes called web based processing, where the LEP device and/or encapsulating sheet material are in a continuous roll format with an adhesive with low air permittivity, such as some UV or thermal curable epoxies, or a melt lamination process used to attach the encapsulating sheets. For LEP devices with short lifetime requirements, the encapsulating material may be in liquid form and applied by spraying, dipping, doctor balding, and the like, or printing, such as screen printing, roller coating or lithographic application in single or multiple layers. Such material may also contain desiccants to further remove water and/or oxygen.

A method of detecting the leak-in of oxygen in an organic electroluminescent device via the extent of photo-degradation of the electroluminescent organic material is described. The photo-degradation of the electroluminescent organic material is induced by the presence of oxygen, and can be detected by comparing the photo luminescence of the material, before and after illumination of the material with light (e.g. form a laser). Photo-degradation due to the presence of oxygen in an encapsulated organic electroluminescent device is evidence for a leak in the device, which leak will result in a shorter lifetime of the device. The invention provides a fast, non-destructive method of inspecting organic electroluminescent devices on leakage, immediately after their production. Leak devices can be identified and discarded, even on-line.
