Resistive random access memory (RRAM) using stacked dielectrics and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed, where a setting power of only 4 μW, an ultra-low reset power of 2 nW, good switching uniformity and excellent cycling endurance up to 5×109 cycles were achieved simultaneously. Such record high performances were reached in a Ni/GeOx/nano-crystal-TiO2/TaON/TaN RRAM device, where the excellent endurance is 4˜6 orders of magnitude larger than existing Flash memory. The very long endurance and low switching energy RRAM is not only satisfactory for portable SSD in a computer, but may also create new applications such as being used for a Data Center to replace high power consumption hard discs.

The subject invention pertains to a method of image intensity correction. The subject invention can utilize extrapolation for image intensity correction. The use of extrapolation can reduce the artifacts during intensity correction as compared to traditional methods of intensity correction. The extrapolation can be combined with, for example, homomorphic filtering methods, parametric estimation techniques, wavelet based method, and/or Gaussian smooth method, in order to reduce the artifacts generated by these methods and improve the quality of correction. The implementation of image extrapolation in accordance with a specific embodiment can utilize closest point method. The subject method can also use adaptive smoothing for image intensity correction. In an embodiment, the use of gradient weighted smoothing method can reduce, or eliminate, over-smoothing of bright spot regions. In a specific embodiment, the subject method can utilize gradient weighted partial differential equation (PDE) smoothing.

The subject invention pertains to a method for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) involving the acquisition of pseudo-polar K-space data and creation of an MRI image from the pseudo-polar K-space data. In an embodiment, the subject method can incorporate a scan scheme for acquiring pseudo-polar K-space data and corresponding reconstruction technique. Advantageously, the subject method can result in reduced motion artifact in dynamic MRI with short acquisition time and short reconstruction time. In a specific embodiment, the subject method can incorporate a reconstruction method utilizing Fractional FFT in MRI. The subject method can allow the acquisition of pseudo-polar K-space data. In a specific embodiment, the acquisition of the pseudo-polar is accomplished by one shot. Other acquisition techniques can also be utilized in accordance with the subject invention. In an embodiment, the pseudo-polar K-space data can lie at the origin of K-space and on N linearly growing concentric squares, with N≦2, where the distance between adjacent concentric squares is the same as the distance from the origin to the innermost square. The K-space data on the N concentric squares are equally spaced from adjacent data points on the same square, including data points at the corners of each square.

A grease gun device includes a cock body having a piston cylinder and a slot joint. The piston cylinder also includes a seal washer opening and an outlet opening spatially disposed from the seal washer opening. A piston is reciprocatingly engaged in the piston cylinder for moving grease from the slot joint to the outlet opening, wherein a valve mechanism selectively allows grease from the piston cylinder to pass through the outlet opening. A grease supply barrel having a grease opening is engaged with the cock body to supply grease to the piston cylinder, and a sealed piston closes the other end of the grease supply barrel. A jacket is mounted about the grease barrel and connected with the cock body, wherein the diameter of an outermost periphery of the grease barrel is less than an inside diameter of the jacket, such that the grease barrel does not overlap the jacket. A rear cover engages the far end of the jacket. In use, moving the piston in a first direction in the piston cylinder pushes grease through the outlet opening, and moving the piston in a second direction in the piston cylinder induces a vacuum pressure in the piston cylinder, which moves grease from the grease barrel, through the slot joint, and into the piston cylinder. A seal washer disposed in the seal washer opening sealingly engages the piston and helps maintain the vacuum pressure in the piston cylinder.

A method for reducing interfacial layer (IL) thickness for high-k dielectrics and metal gate stack is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes forming an interfacial layer on a semiconductor substrate, etching back the interfacial layer, depositing a high-k dielectric material over the interfacial layer, and forming a metal gate over the high-k dielectric material. The IL can be chemical oxide, ozonated oxide, thermal oxide, or formed by ultraviolet ozone (UVO) oxidation process from chemical oxide, etc. The etching back of IL can be performed by a Diluted HF (DHF) process, a vapor HF process, or any other suitable process. The method can further include performing UV curing or low thermal budget annealing on the interfacial layer before depositing the high-k dielectric material.
摘要:
The subject invention relates to a method and apparatus for producing stimulated MRI data. In an embodiment, a remote-controlled “smart phantom” can produce simulated data. The simulated data can be acquired from a MRI system. The subject device can generate control signals and send the generated control signals to secondary coils/probes placed in the subject smart phantom. The control signals determine the current flow in the secondary coils/probes, which act as local spin magnetization amplifiers and thus produce regions of variable contrast to noise ratio. The control signals can be generated with various parameters, such as BOLD models, different levels of contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), signal intensities, and physiological signals. Comparisons can be made with the widely-used simulated data by computers. Validation of the subject smart phantom can be performed with both theoretical analysis and data of human subjects.
