A method for protecting a layer includes: providing a substrate having a target layer and forming a protective layer on the target layer, said protective layer contacting and covering the target layer and containing a hydrocarbon-based layer constituting at least an upper part of the protective layer, which hydrocarbon-based layer is formed by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) using an alkylaminosilane precursor and a noble gas without a reactant.

A method for protecting a layer includes: providing a substrate having a target layer; depositing a protective layer on the target layer, which protective layer contacts and covers the target layer and is constituted by a hydrocarbon-based layer; and depositing an oxide layer on the protective layer so that the protective layer in contact with the oxide layer is oxidized. The hydrocarbon-based layer is formed by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) using an alkylaminosilane precursor and a noble gas without a reactant.

An ultrasonic transducer includes: piezoelectric elements; a pair of clamping members which clamp said piezoelectric elements; and a cover member which is crimped to at least one of said pair of clamping members in a state where said cover member cooperates with said pair of clamping members to surround said piezoelectric elements.

A solid state radiation detector capable of improving the sharpness of obtained radiation images. The solid state radiation detector includes: two scintillator layers that convert irradiated radiation to light; and a solid state photodetector, disposed between the two scintillators, that detects the light converted by the two scintillator layers and converts the detected light to electrical signals. Here, the scattering length of each of the scintillators is not greater than 100 μm for the light propagating in the direction parallel to the surface of the scintillator.

The invention discloses an actually-enhanced driver-assisted early warning system, which comprises a vehicle camera unit, a central processor unit and a head-up display unit. The vehicle camera unit comprises a front camera for shooting circumstance of a road ahead and two face cameras for shooting head information of a driver, wherein the front camera is arranged in the front of a middle-rear view mirror; the face cameras are arranged in an instrument panel symmetrically; and the three cameras are connected with the central processor unit. The central processor unit is used for identifying the specific locations of external risk factors according to the specific image contents of the front camera, and marking the locations in the images. The head-up display unit is arranged in the front of a steering wheel and below a front windshield and is used for projecting modified identification information to the front windshield together with warning prompt patterns after receiving an early warning command. The actually-enhanced driver-assisted early warning system can effectively avoid the distraction of the driver so as to improve an early warning effect.

An endoscopic electrosurgical instrument is presented for encapsulating and resecting biologic tissue, such as a polyp, from an anatomical structure, such as a lumen. The instrument includes an encapsulation assembly which includes a snare coupled to an electrically non-conductive, shrinkable pouch in a drawstring-like configuration. The encapsulation assembly may be folded within the elongated cylindrical housing of the endoscopic instrument, positioned within the patient at the surgical site, and deployed for use. Once positioned over the polyp, the snare is tightened around the peduncle thereof, and the pouch is activated, thereby shrinking and encapsulating the polyp. The polyp may then be resected using conventional or electrosurgical techniques. The disclosed instrument may include surgical tools and / or electrosurgical electrodes for performing surgical procedures. The disclosed system may reduce the occurrence of undesirable arcing and may aid retrieval of resected tissue.

A system automatically determines probable idle times for a computing system and performs maintenance tasks, such as virus scanning, during these times. A prediction of probable idle times is based on an assessment of a user's past use or by an aggregate of information from several users if a company wishes to determine optimal times for running such tasks or pushing software patches to employees. A policy table set by the user or a company determines the priority of maintenance tasks to be run during the predicted idle time.

An electrooptic device includes a substrate and a pluralty of pixel units. Each pixel unit includes a pixel electrode; an active element for active control of the pixel electrode; a conductive layer that is disposed below the pixel electrode and that connects the active element to the pixel electrode; an organic resin film that provides interlayer insulation between the active element and the pixel electrode and between the conductive layer and the pixel electrode, the organic resin film having a small hole that overlaps part of the conductive layer in a plan view; a first inorganic insulating film disposed between the organic resin film and the conductive layer and between the organic resin film and the active element such that the first inorganic insulating film overlaps the conductive layer and the active element in a plan view, the first inorganic insulating film having a first hole inside the small hole in a plan view, the first hole having a diameter equal to or smaller than the bottom of the small hole; and a second inorganic insulating film disposed between the organic resin film and the pixel electrode, the second inorganic insulating film having a second hole that is continuous to the first hole and that forms a contact hole together with the first hole. The pixel electrode is formed in a continuous manner from inside the contact hole to outside the contact hole such that the pixel electrode is electrically connected to the conductive layer exposed inside the first hole.
