Abstract:
A method of determining a parameter of a wafer is disclosed. Light is propagated through a waveguide disposed in the wafer. A first measurement of optical power is obtained at a first optical tap coupled to the waveguide and a second measurement of optical power is obtained at a second optical tap coupled to the waveguide using a photodetector placed at a selected location with respect to the wafer. A difference in optical power is determined between the first optical tap and the second optical tap from the first measurement and the second measurement. The parameter of the wafer is determined from the determined difference in optical power.
Abstract:
A method of operating a computer system configured to managing a digital conference call including a virtual holding queue includes establishing, by the computer system, the digital conference call connecting a plurality of current attendees, determining and classifying in real-time a confidentiality status of data being exchanged by the current attendees through the digital conference call, profiling each of the current attendees, profiling at least one caller attempting to join the digital conference call, modifying at least one content restriction on the data being exchanged in response to the profiling of the current attendees and the at least one caller, and enforcing, by the computer system, an eligibility criteria for the at least one caller to join the digital conference call based on the confidentiality status of the data.
Abstract:
An encapsulated integrated photodetector waveguide structures with alignment tolerance and methods of manufacture are disclosed. The method includes forming a waveguide structure bounded by one or more shallow trench isolation (STI) structure(s). The method further includes forming a photodetector fully landed on the waveguide structure.
Abstract:
A user situational context and user's computing device context is detected based on input data. Content associated with the user's computing device and an importance factor associated with the content is determined. A risk factor associated with disclosing the content is determined based on the importance factor. A controlling action is triggered to control the content.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention may provide the capability to predict the metastasis of cancer in a patient from one tissue to another. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method for predicting metastasis may comprise receiving an indication of at least one disrupted gene of the cancer, traversing data representing a gene-to-gene or protein-to-protein interaction network specific for a type of the cancer type from a position of the received gene in the network to a position of at least one gene involved in metastasis for a tissue type, organ or body part, determining at least one shortest path in the network between the received gene and the at least one gene involved in metastasis for the tissue type, organ or body part, generating a prediction of metastasis to the tissue type based on the at least one determined path, and generating an output display indicating a likelihood of spread of cancer to the tissue type, organ or body part.

Abstract:
A method of forming an integrated photonic semiconductor structure having a photodetector and a CMOS device may include forming the CMOS device on a first silicon-on-insulator region, forming a silicon optical waveguide on a second silicon-on-insulator region, and forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) region surrounding the silicon optical waveguide such that the shallow trench isolation electrically isolating the first and second silicon-on-insulator region. Within a first region of the STI region, a first germanium material is deposited adjacent a first side wall of the semiconductor optical waveguide. Within a second region of the STI region, a second germanium material is deposited adjacent a second side wall of the semiconductor optical waveguide, whereby the second side wall opposes the first side wall. The first and second germanium material form an active region that evanescently receives propagating optical signals from the first and second side wall of the semiconductor optical waveguide.
