20140220495 | Resist Performance for the Negative Tone Develop Organic Development Process - A process and composition for negative tone development comprises providing a photoresist film that generates acidic sites. Irradiating the photoresist film patternwise provides an irradiated film having exposed and unexposed regions where the exposed regions comprise imaged sites. Baking the irradiated film at elevated temperatures produces a baked-irradiated film comprising the imaged sites which after irradiating, baking, or both irradiating and baking comprise acidic imaged sites. Treating the baked-irradiated film with a liquid, gaseous or vaporous weakly basic compound converts the acidic imaged sites to a base treated film having chemically modified acidic imaged sites. Applying a solvent developer substantially dissolves regions of the film that have not been exposed to the radiant energy, where the solvent developer comprises a substantial non-solvent for the chemically modified acidic imaged sites. One-step simultaneous base treatment and solvent development employs a composition comprising a mix of the basic compound and solvent developer. | 08-07-2014 |

20150249803 | BANDWIDTH AWARE DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDING (DVR) SCHEDULING - A scheduler is used to identify a schedule conflict that affects a client device receiving multiple media programs over a network. The scheduler is associated with the client device or a head-end source from which the programs are received. The scheduler accesses a schedule, which specifies a scheduled time at which multiple media programs are to be received by the client device. The scheduler obtains the actual bitrate to be consumed by each of the media programs as they are to be streamed to the client device. Based at least in part on the bitrates obtained for each of the media programs, the scheduler identifies a conflict that prevents at least one of the media programs from being streamed to the client device over the network.

20140148224 | FAR FIELD NOISE SUPPRESSION FOR TELEPHONY DEVICES - Noise suppression systems and methods suppress far field noise in a microphone signal. A telephony system includes a main microphone and a reference microphone. In one example, the main microphone and the reference microphone can be located in the same device. In another example, the main microphone and the reference microphone can be located in two separate devices. A DSP can use the reference microphone signal to carry out suppression of far field noise in the main microphone signal. In one approach the DSP can determine an estimate of far field noise in the main microphone signal based on a noise estimate of the reference microphone signal and a reference and main microphone coupling estimate, and then subtract the far field noise estimate from the main microphone signal. Alternatively, the DSP can suppress the main microphone signal if it determines that a local talker is inactive. | 05-29-2014 |

20100278358 | DIGITAL LINKING OF MULTIPLE MICROPHONE SYSTEMS - Systems and methods for digitally linking multiple microphones and managing microphone signals are provided. Embodiments provide for digitally linking of multiple auto-mixer systems where a large number of microphones are required. In large auto-mixer systems, microphone input channels may be distributed among many devices. Rather than transmitting these signals individually to a central processing device for the auto-mixer, it is most efficient to distribute the audio signal processing functions of the automatic microphone mixer among multiple devices in an audio conferencing system. Subsequently, a smaller number of gated mixes of microphone signals may be transmitted between devices. Thus, embodiments of the present invention act to digitally link multiple microphone signals, arbitrating these signals, in order to enable distributed automatic microphone mixers to behave as a single mixer. | 11-04-2010 |
