Abstract:
Formation of metal pipes resulting from formation of metal silicide contacts are reduced or avoided. To reduce formation of metal pipes, an epitaxial layer is formed over the diffusion region on which the metal silicide contact is formed. The epitaxial layer reduces defects which enhances diffusion of metal atoms or molecules.
Abstract:
An electronic catalog system includes automated processes for detecting and handling specific types of browsing events, such as non-conversion events in which users browse but fail to purchase specific items. In one embodiment, when a user engages in a threshold level of browsing activity with respect to an item without making a purchase of that item or a substitute item, and a favorable change in the item's state thereafter occurs (e.g., the price is reduced or the item becomes available), the user is automatically notified of the state change. In another embodiment, when a user transitions away from an item or item category after engaging in a threshold level of browsing activity, a determination is made whether to present to the user a time-limited purchase incentive that is tied to that item or item category.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method, system, and program for providing access to spatial data. A request for data is received. Enterprise and third party data are integrated. The integrated data is processed. Spatially referenced results are generated using the processed data. The spatially referenced results are returned in response to the request.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, apparatus' and systems for enabling communication over wireless intermittently connected networks. A system includes at least one dispatch center for managing various communications of the intermittently connected network, a plurality of geographically separated nodes and a plurality of mobile terminals. The at least one mobile terminal is configured to provide a communication network to the plurality of geographically separated nodes for the transfer of information among the plurality of geographically separated nodes. The information is at least in part based upon the various communications managed and communicated to at least one mobile terminal by the at least one dispatch center, and comprises one or more of authentication parameters, security credentials, provisioning parameters, routing information, connection setup messages, services, messages, and diagnostics. Authentication between entities is completed, and in turn, provisioning is completed and capabilities and services are established prior to messaging commencing.
Abstract:
An electrode for use in a flow cell is presented. The electrode includes a metal plate for collecting current in the electrode that is bonded between a first and second plate.
Abstract:
Methods for identifying ubiquitin ligases and ubiquitin ligase modulators are disclosed. The methods comprise combining the components of a ubiquitylation reaction and using proteins that contain motifs that recognize ubiquitylated sites in the detection of ubiquitylation.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention generally provide a method and apparatus for logging and monitoring communication sessions terminating and originating in a home network. One embodiment of a method for monitoring a communication session within a home network includes routing the communication session to a device in the home network via a residential gateway, the residential gateway being equipped with Universal Plug and Play and Session Initiation Protocol capabilities, and storing data related to the communication session in a database coupled to the residential gateway.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for managing persistent search query in a communication network (100). The method includes sending (304) a persistent search query from a communication device (102) to a network device (104). The persistent search query includes a search criteria, a set of result delivery parameters, and initial context information. Further, the method includes sending (306) a context information update to the network device. The context information update indicating a current context of the communication device relevant to the persistent search query. Furthermore, the method includes receiving (308) a set of persistent search query results at the communication device the first node to a third transmit power level.
Abstract:
An antioxidant composition effective for stabilizing gasoline and gasoline components contains from approximately 50-95% by weight of at least one Mannich base and from approximately 5-50% by weight of at least one amine. The Mannich base is derived from p-substituted phenols or from cashew nut shell liquid.
