Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for establishing media data exposure for a computer processing device, where media data received in the computer processing device. The computer processing device pairs itself with a plurality of portable computing devices using a Bluetooth connection when media data is received. A signal strength characteristic of the Bluetooth connection is established in the computer processing device for each of the paired plurality of portable computing devices. Each signal strength characteristic with the received media data is then established to determine which signal strength characteristic is the strongest when the media data was received in the computer processing device.
Abstract:
A high voltage ESD protection diode wherein the p-n junction is defined by a p-well and an n-well and includes a RESURF region, the diode including a field oxide layer formed on top of the p-well and n-well, wherein the parameters of the diode are adjustable by controlling one or more of the junction width, the length of the RESURF region, or the length of the field oxide layer.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying users of touch screens according to a touch/gesture profile. The profile includes stored electrical characteristics of contact with the touch screen. The profile is correlated with applications opened and/or accessed, along with any associated metadata, as well as media exposure data derived from audio received at the device. The correlated information may be used to confirm identification of one or more individuals using a device for audience measurement purposes.
Abstract:
The publication discloses a method for determining a temperature of a substrate, comprising: providing a gas channel that is confined by at least one wall having a certain wall temperature; providing a substrate in said gas channel, proximate to the at least one wall, such that a gap exists between a surface of the substrate and the at least one wall; providing a gas flow with a certain mass flow rate through said gas channel, which gas flow extends at least partially through said gap; determining a pressure drop in the gas flow along the gas channel; and deriving from said pressure drop the temperature of said substrate using a pre-determined relation between the pressure drop along the gas channel, the wall temperature and the temperature of the substrate, at said mass flow rate. Also disclosed is a device for implementing the disclosed method.
Abstract:
In a bipolar device an intrinsic Zener like diode is formed for controlling the triggering voltage and leakage current, the Zener-like diode being formed between the n-collector and the p-base, wherein the collector implant and base diffusion overlap at least partially.
Abstract:
A method of self-aligned silicidation involves interruption of the silicidation process prior to complete reaction of the blanket material (e.g., metal) in regions directly overlying patterned and exposed other material (e.g., silicon). Diffusion of excess blanket material from over other regions (e.g., overlying insulators) is thus prevented. Control and uniformity are insured by use of conductive rapid thermal annealing in hot wall reactors, with massive heated plates closely spaced from the substrate surfaces. Interruption is particularly facilitated by forced cooling, preferably also by conductive thermal exchange with closely spaced, massive plates.
Abstract:
An electromagnetic radiation attenuating material or coating consistent with certain embodiments of the present invention uses a binding matrix with an operative quantity of electromagnetic radiation attenuating nano-particles suspended in the binding matrix, wherein, the electromagnetic radiation attenuating nano-particles comprise onion-like-carbon (OLC) particles. In other embodiments, freestanding structures, aerosols and powders or suspensions contained within an enclosure provide EM or Radar absorption, particularly in the range of about 500 MHz to about 30 THz. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
