A shoe that is conveniently put on and taken off includes an outsole, an upper, a supporting piece, and a guiding piece. The upper is attached on the outsole and has a counter and a collar extending upward from the counter and configured as a shoehorn. The supporting piece is attached to the counter and the collar of the upper. The guiding piece is attached to an instep of the upper. Because of the supporting piece having a predetermined hardness and the collar having a shape like a shoehorn, the rear of the upper can be served as a shoehorn for helping a user's foot in slipping into the shoe. In addition, the guiding piece can avoid the instep of the upper from becoming crease and unsmooth. As a result, the shoe is convenient for the user to put on without bending his back and using his hand.

A packaging member (1, 80, 100) is provided with easy-opening means (7, 85, 107, 108) for allowing the packaging member to be opened easily, wherein the easy-opening means is either positionally or structurally improved. As one example, the packaging member is a packaging bag (1, 80), in which the easy-opening means serves as a tearing start point when opened with the use of the easy-opening means. The easy-opening portion is formed at a position slightly shifted inward from a perimeter edge of the packaging bag. As another example, the packaging member is a packaging container (100), in which the easy-opening means is structurally improved.

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to not only predict an impending fault, but also to avoid the occurrence of the fault such that continued operations are permitted with a reduced likelihood of the occurrence of the fault. In this regard, a plurality of features are provided to at least one model, such as a random forest classification model. The plurality of features include features representative of at least one prior operational sequence as well as features representative of at least one upcoming operational sequence. The plurality of features are then processed with at least one model to determine a likelihood of a fault during the upcoming operational sequence. The method also alters the characteristics of the upcoming operational sequence without requiring maintenance of the equipment to thereby permit the upcoming operational sequence to be conducted with a reduced likelihood of the fault.

Resist compositions for photosensitive chemically amplified resist processing, as well as methods for processing substrates using a photosensitive chemically amplified resist are disclosed for improved CD uniformity. A resist composition or layer generates photosensitizer when the resist is exposed to a first wavelength of light. A second wavelength of light is later used to amplify an acid reaction. The radiation-sensitive layer also includes a photo-active agent that, when exposed to a third light wavelength, modifies a concentration of photosensitizer in the radiation-sensitive layer. The third light wavelength can be projected as a pattern of radiation using a digital pixel-based projection system, with the projected pattern based on a critical dimension signature. In a subsequent exposure step, the resist layer is exposed to light of the second wavelength that induces or amplifies the acid concentration within the photoresist film.

Remotely sensing a target may include generating a first beam of optical radiation that is modulated at a first frequency and polarized at a first polarization. A second beam of optical radiation that is modulated at a second frequency and polarized at a second polarization may also be generated. The first and second beams of optical radiation may be transmitted to the target. Radiation at the first polarization and radiation at the second polarization may be detected from the target using a phase sensitive technique and the first and second frequencies.

A method is proposed for decoding read bits including information bits from memory cells of a solid state drive. The method comprises determining a reliability indication indicative of a reliability of the read bits, and iterating the following sequence of steps:soft decoding the read bits based on said reliability indication in order to obtain said information bits,determining at least one among a time indication indicative of a time elapsed since a last writing of the memory cells and a temperature indication indicative of a temperature of the memory cells, andapplying at least one among said time indication and said temperature indication to said reliability indication.A corresponding solid state drive is also proposed.

In order to provide efficient processing of Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) data flows and dynamic Internet Protocol (IP) address management, an electronic device that implements a virtual dataplane in a network may separate the DHCP data flows from other data flows. Then, the virtual dataplane may perform IP address management using one or more applications that are executed by a processor in the electronic device. In order to accelerate processing of a sequence of packets in a DHCP data flow to a destination, the virtual dataplane may look up a stored result of a look-up operation for a first packet in the sequence, so that subsequent packets in the sequence use the stored result without performing the look-up operation. Furthermore, the IP address management may include dynamically freeing up IP addresses in the network based on network activity of client devices.

In an MIS structure a field plate electrode is incorporated below a buried gate electrode by using an insulating oxide layer, which is formed concurrently with the gate dielectric layer. In order to obtain superior dynamic behavior and enhanced dielectric strength the oxidation behavior of the field plate electrode is modified, for instance by incorporating a desired high concentration of arsenic.
