Vehicle control device mounted on vehicle and method for controlling the vehicle

The present invention relates to a vehicle control device mounted on a vehicle, and a method for controlling the vehicle. The vehicle control device includes a communication module configured to receive driving information regarding the vehicle, a display module configured to output visual information on a display region formed on a windshield of the vehicle, and a controller configured to control the display module based on the driving information to output graphic objects guiding a path of driving of the vehicle on a first region of the display region, the display region divided into the first region and a second region. The controller controls the display module based on the driving information to output on the second region at least one of the graphic objects output on the first region.

NOSE SENSOR

A patient monitor can noninvasively measure a physiological parameter using sensor data from a nose sensor configured to be secured to a nose of the patient. The nose sensor can include an emitter and a diffuser. The diffuser is configured to generate a signal when detecting light attenuated by the nose tissue of the patient. An output measurement of the physiological parameter can be determined based on the signals generated by the diffuser.

Automating device testing using RFID

Device testing using radio-frequency identification (RFID) is described herein. The testing uses one or more RFID readers that interrogate an RFID tag on a mobile device and, in response to the interrogation, receive data from the RFID tag. The one or more RFID readers, in response to receipt of the data from the RFID tag, transmit a command to execute a test program on the mobile device. The results of the test program are then provided by the mobile device.

Avatar animation system

Avatar animation systems disclosed herein provide high quality, real-time avatar animation that is based on the varying countenance of a human face. In some example embodiments, the real-time provision of high quality avatar animation is enabled at least in part, by a multi-frame regressor that is configured to map information descriptive of facial expressions depicted in two or more images to information descriptive of a single avatar blend shape. The two or more images may be temporally sequential images. This multi-frame regressor implements a machine learning component that generates the high quality avatar animation from information descriptive of a subject's face and/or information descriptive of avatar animation frames previously generated by the multi-frame regressor. The machine learning component may be trained using a set of training images that depict human facial expressions and avatar animation authored by professional animators to reflect facial expressions depicted in the set of training images.

Lithography patterning with a gas phase resist

Disclosed is a method for lithography patterning. The method includes providing a substrate, forming a deposition enhancement layer (DEL) over the substrate, and flowing an organic gas near a surface of the DEL. During the flowing of the organic gas, the method further includes irradiating the DEL and the organic gas with a patterned radiation. Elements of the organic gas polymerize upon the patterned radiation, thereby forming a resist pattern over the DEL. The method further includes etching the DEL with the resist pattern as an etch mask, thereby forming a patterned DEL.

Method of forming patterns

A substrate having a target material layer is provided. A first hard mask layer, a second hard mask layer, and a photoresist layer are formed on the target material layer. The photoresist layer is transferred into first patterns on the second hard mask layer. Regions of the second hard mask layer not protected by the first patterns are etched away, thereby forming second patterns. The first patterns are trimmed to form trimmed features. A conformal spacer material layer is deposited on the trimmed features, the second patterns, and the first hard mask. The spacer material layer is etched to form first spacers on sidewalls of the trimmed features, and second spacers on sidewalls of the second patterns. The trimmed features are removed. Regions of the second patterns not protected by the first spacers are removed, thereby forming patterns with a reduced, fine pitch.

Method and system for authenticated login using static or dynamic codes

Method of authentication including sending a login web page to a first device of a user including a scannable code having an envelope ID and a login challenge. The envelope ID generated by an identity manager is associated with a first envelope of data including a session ID. A confirmation login request is received from a second device associated with the user, and includes a second envelope of data comprising the session ID, a user ID, and a seal of the user ID registering the user ID with the identity manager. The confirmation login request to the login challenge is verified using the session ID, and the user is verified using the user ID and seal. User login is authorized upon successful verification of the login challenge and user, and a communication session having the session ID is established between the web server and the first device.
