Selectively Insulated Fastener For Signal Transmission In A Conductive Housing, Josh Cheng, Zoro Chang, Averill Chang Mar 2026

Selectively Insulated Fastener For Signal Transmission In A Conductive Housing, Josh Cheng, Zoro Chang, Averill Chang

Defensive Publications Series

A system may utilize a structural fastener, such as a screw, as a dual-function component in compact electronic devices (e.g., smartphones, wearables, tablets). The fastener can be constructed from a conductive material and feature a selectively applied insulating coating on certain surfaces, for example, the threaded shank that engages with a conductive housing. The head of the fastener and a portion of its tip may remain uncoated to serve as external and internal electrical contact points, respectively. This configuration can allow the fastener to provide both mechanical fastening and an electrical conduit. This approach may facilitate a space-efficient, hidden wired …

Post-Silicon Performance Prediction, N/A Mar 2026

Post-Silicon Performance Prediction, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure is directed to generating architecture-aware voltage-frequency (VF) scaling curves for semiconductor designs utilizing logic depth normalization to predict post-silicon performance across diverse process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) corners. An approach involves ingesting raw library characterization data for representative standard cells and converting target frequencies into a normalized metric based on cell-specific propagation delays. By iterating through multiple critical path compositions, the approach can identify a worst-case stage depth that represents the architectural speed limit of the design across all corners. This limiting constraint is then mapped back to the raw delay data across a full voltage spectrum …

The Philological Logic Of Fu Sinian's Theory Of “Literary Reform”, Zitao Zhao Mar 2026

The Philological Logic Of Fu Sinian's Theory Of “Literary Reform”, Zitao Zhao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

As a second-generation member of the New Culture Movement, Fu Sinian put forward several remarkable propositions on the Chinese “Literary Innovation.” Although formulated at different times, these views were interconnected and mutually elucidative, thus forming a coherent whole. Fu's theory of “Literary Innovation” exhibited a distinctive philological logic. He justified the advocacy of vernacular language and the abandonment of wenyan (classical literary Chinese) by arguing that literature bore little connection to Chinese written characters (words) but was more closely tied to Chinese language. He further advocated the abolition of Chinese characters in favor of pinyin (romanized spelling), asserting that there …

“The North China Experience” And The Formation Of Yan'an Literature And Art, Tiantian Fu Mar 2026

“The North China Experience” And The Formation Of Yan'an Literature And Art, Tiantian Fu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The formation of Yan'an literature and art represents a significant reconstruction of the literary and artistic field, with “North China literature and art” serving as its foundation. Building upon the legacy of the Soviet-area literature and art, literary and artistic practices in the North China base areas evolved into a distinctive “North China path,” giving rise to the “North China experience”. This experience markedly differed from the literary activities in Yan'an prior to the “Talks at the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art”. While North China's literary works were shaped by wartime exigencies, emphasizing broad popularization and mass participation, the …

The Juxtaposition Of Liu Zongyuan And Wang Anshi In The Mid-To-Late Qing Dynasty And Its Literary-Historical Significance, Tian Lan Mar 2026

The Juxtaposition Of Liu Zongyuan And Wang Anshi In The Mid-To-Late Qing Dynasty And Its Literary-Historical Significance, Tian Lan

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The practice of pairing Liu Zongyuan and Wang Anshia was a common trend in the literary circles of the mid-to-late Qing dynasty. The “Liu-Wang” pairing was substantively established in Mao Kun's Anthology of Prose by the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song during the early Wanli era of the Ming. The pairing made a well-deserved name in Mao Xianshu's “On the Merits of Liu and Wang” in the late Shunzhi era of the Qing. The commonalities in the “moral character” and “literary quality” of Liu and Wang served as the basis for legitimizing the establishment of the “Liu-Wang” …

Yu Dafu In The Guangdong Peasant Movement And His Promotion Of “Peasant Literature And Art”, Bo Feng Mar 2026

Yu Dafu In The Guangdong Peasant Movement And His Promotion Of “Peasant Literature And Art”, Bo Feng

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

In 1926, Yu Dafu traveled twice to Guangdong, the center of peasant movement. His interactions with the leaders of the Communist Party of China's the Rural Movement enriched his political experience and deepened his understanding of the national revolution. Amidst the debates over the proletarian literature, Yu Dafu distinguished between pastoral literature and peasant literature, advocating for the latter in his publications such as Flood, The People and Literaturo por Homaro. His original theorization of “peasant literature and art” reflected the early peasant movement theory of the Communist Party of China, offering a vivid interpretation of political praxis …

Critique Of Anonymous Advertisements Written By Modern Chinese Writers, Linxiang Peng Mar 2026

Critique Of Anonymous Advertisements Written By Modern Chinese Writers, Linxiang Peng

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Modern Chinese literature emerged and developed amidst the clamor of advertisements. Many modern writers were deeply engaged in the production of books and periodicals, contributing numerous advertisements that not only promoted these publications but also played a role in shaping the development of modern Chinese literature. Owing to the practical nature of literary advertisements, conventional practices such as anonymity, and particular narrative strategies, many of these advertisements have remained unpublished works by modern writers. Although notable progress has been made in discovering and interpreting these texts, further examination is both urgent and promising for deepening our understanding of modern Chinese …

The Development Of Li Mengyang's And He Jingming's Concepts On Poetic Style, Chunxiang Wang Mar 2026

The Development Of Li Mengyang's And He Jingming's Concepts On Poetic Style, Chunxiang Wang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The concept of poetic style provides an in-depth approach to studying retro poetics during the reigns of Emperors Hongzhi (14881505) and Zhengde (15061521). During this period, the concepts of poetic style of Li Mengyang and He Jingming, leaders of the retro movement, gradually deepened. During the reign of Emperor Hongzhi, the two did not yet possess mature ideas on venerating specific styles. Only after the early years of the Zhengde reign did they form an awareness of revering the Han and Wei dynasties while also modeling on the Jin and Song for the ancient style, and revering Du Fu and …

Intergenerational Intertextuality And The Circulation Of Memory: The “Dongpo Reincarnation” Phenomenon Among Ming And Qing Literati, Ziqiao Song Mar 2026

Intergenerational Intertextuality And The Circulation Of Memory: The “Dongpo Reincarnation” Phenomenon Among Ming And Qing Literati, Ziqiao Song

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The authors comparing themselves to a reincarnation of Su Shi, aka Su Dongpo, is a peculiar phenomenon in classical Chinese literature, and this phenomenon, termed as “Dongbo reincarnation,” has its complex realistic orientation and rich literary expression. Ming and Qing literati departed from the religious implications of the original narrative of Su Shi reincarnation, displaying a more secular and literary inclination. In their literary representation, they exemplified a “dual interaction” between Su Shi's literary activities and poetry creation. By invoking coincidences and resemblances with Su Shi's life stories in terms of time, space, and material details, they established correspondences and …

A New Interpretation Of The Connotations And Significance Of Wen Tingyun's Yuefu Yiqu: On The Musical Adaptation Of Yuefu Poetry In The Tang Dynasty, Haiyan Liang, Tianjun Li Mar 2026

A New Interpretation Of The Connotations And Significance Of Wen Tingyun's Yuefu Yiqu: On The Musical Adaptation Of Yuefu Poetry In The Tang Dynasty, Haiyan Liang, Tianjun Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The term yuefu yiqu (yuefu poetry in melody-reliant form) in Wen Tingyun's Funerary Inscription for Yang Nian does not denote a poetic composition dependent on meldoy, but rather reflects the poet's vision of yuefu poetry's “melody-reliant” nature - an expressive aspiration to adapt works according to yuefu conventions. Guo Maoqian's classification of Wen Tingyun's self-composed yuefu poems with new titles as yuefu yiqu in his Collection of Yuefu Poetry directly follows Wen's original intent. Wen's emphasis on the musical essence of yuefu poetry constitutes a response to the New Yuefu faction's shift toward meaning-centered, rather than music-centered interpretation. In …

The Relationship Between Wang Yangming's Philosophy Of Mind And The Ancient Prose Of The Early Qing Dynasty: Focusing On Weixi's Ancient Prose, Zebao Zhu Mar 2026

The Relationship Between Wang Yangming's Philosophy Of Mind And The Ancient Prose Of The Early Qing Dynasty: Focusing On Weixi's Ancient Prose, Zebao Zhu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Although Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind declined and fell into disrepute in the early Qing dynasty, it continued to exert a significant influence on the development of ancient prose. Wei Xi (16241681) was among the early Qing scholars deeply shaped by Wang Yangming's thought. Wang's life, his doctrine of “the unity of knowledge and action”, and his practical moral concerns profoundly informed Wei Xi's intellectual orientation. In his theory of ancient prose, Wei Xi emphasized the cultivation of the writer's moral character prior to composition and placed comparatively less emphasis on technical aspects of writing. His notions of “partial perfection” …

The Ideology Of Death And The Truth Of Art: Frankfurt School's Critique Of Heidegger's View Of Death, Ao Jin Mar 2026

The Ideology Of Death And The Truth Of Art: Frankfurt School's Critique Of Heidegger's View Of Death, Ao Jin

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The critical theory of Frankfurt School was profoundly influenced by Heidegger's Being and Time, and its theoretical coordinate was established through absorbing and criticizing Heidegger's thoughts. In the context of the two world wars, Heidegger's views on death became the focus of Frankfurt School. Criticizing Heidegger's death metaphysics, Horkheimer, Adorno, and Marcuse argued that Heidegger not only ignored the social-historical character of death, but also, in the process of ontologizing death, rendered death into an ideology to maintain social domination. Critical theory emphasizes the meaninglessness of death, pointing out that art provides the real death experience and holds the …

Power, Subject, And Psychoanalysis: Theodor Adorno's Affective Social Theory, Yifan Song Mar 2026

Power, Subject, And Psychoanalysis: Theodor Adorno's Affective Social Theory, Yifan Song

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Theodor Adorno attributes the symptoms of late capitalist society to a kind of social “powerlessness,” which aims to reveal a close connection between the phenomenon of power and the inner realm of the subject. The dialectical relationship between powerlessness and power may offer an intrinsic clue to reconstruct Adorno's philosophy. This problem-domain intertwines Nietzsche's genealogy with the interdisciplinary research of the early Frankfurt School in the field of psychoanalysis. On the micro level, it narrates how the subject, out of powerlessness, fear, and narcissism, turns to a compensatory identification with the powerful and ultimately is realized in the bourgeois ideal …

Between Autonomy And Heteronomy: The Historical Evolution Of Modern German Music Criticism, Kun Bi Mar 2026

Between Autonomy And Heteronomy: The Historical Evolution Of Modern German Music Criticism, Kun Bi

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

This article systematically traces the historical development and theoretical transformation of modern German music criticism, revealing the core contradictions of artistic modernity embedded within it. In the Enlightenment, music criticism acquired its public-sphere attributes, consolidating the conflict between the aesthetics of genius and rule-based poetics, as well as the initial tension between aesthetic and social references. In the Romantic era, criticism assumes a more productive character, transcending interpretive frameworks and transforming itself from instrumental analysis into a dynamic artistic mechanism. By the second half of the nineteenth century, it had begun to establish historical standards, and by the twentieth century, …

Can New Materialisms Transcend Linguistic Theory? An Analysis Of The Relationship Between Words And Things, Lixing Li Mar 2026

Can New Materialisms Transcend Linguistic Theory? An Analysis Of The Relationship Between Words And Things, Lixing Li

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

The rise of new materialisms in Western academia in the twenty-first century has prompted a critical reexamination of the linguistic paradigm that dominated the humanities and social sciences in the twentieth century. Proponents of new materialism contend that the potential of linguistic constructivism has largely been exhausted and that scholarly attention should now shift toward the ontology of material entities. From this perspective, the relationship between language (words) and matter (things) has been reimagined and reinterpreted. Drawing on speculative realism and agential realisms as key examples, this article examines how new materialisms critique linguistic theory and their limitations. Speculative realism …

Whose Philosophical Evidence Is The Organism? A Discussion Based On Huang Jincheng's Organic Modernity: Young Hegel And The Discourse Of Aesthetic Modernity, Yunhua Liu Mar 2026

Whose Philosophical Evidence Is The Organism? A Discussion Based On Huang Jincheng's Organic Modernity: Young Hegel And The Discourse Of Aesthetic Modernity, Yunhua Liu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Huang Jincheng's monograph Organic Modernity: The Young Hegel and the Discourse of Aesthetic Modernity focuses on the relationship between nature and spirit. It provides a deep and forceful discussion of the different understandings of organism held by major German intellectuals around 1800, as well as the internal rationale for the transformation from mechanical to organic modernity. Following the intellectual thread of Huang's work, this essay first offers a complementary elaboration on Kant's concept of the “organic beings,” and then traces the lines of thought in Hölderlin, Schelling, Hegel, and others concerning the leap from a regulative to a constitutive relationship …

On The Concept Of Continuity In Bio-Art, Jie Xu Mar 2026

On The Concept Of Continuity In Bio-Art, Jie Xu

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

As an innovative art phenomenon in the new century, bio-art has yet to receive in-depth academic exploration with regard to its presentations of the posthumanist view of “continuity” in life. First, the concept of continuity in bio-art is represented by life processes, inter-life, and Zoe. Second, practices in bio-art present a continuity between humans and non-humans, biological and digital entities, life and information, as well as living and non-living things, which redefines the essence of life and puts into practice a neo-vitalism. Third, the concept of continuity provides an ethical defense for the moral controversies triggered by bio-art. To spare …
