摘要:
A method and semiconductor device. In the method, at least one partial via is etched in a stacked structure and a border is formed about the at least one partial via. The method further includes performing thick wiring using selective etching while continuing via etching to at least one etch stop layer.

A method for automatically running a plurality of interactive programs that are necessary to complete a VLSI design and verification is disclosed. Layout data is completed and saved. Multiple programs of the VLSI logic are launched using this data. The submission of design programs (jobs) operate as programs nullstatesnull with each program state having data inputs, data outputs possibly receiving logic inputs and generating logic outputs. The data inputs and data outputs may be conditional in that they were generated from other program states that may not have executed error free. Logic routines generate the logic signals which are logic combinations of the generated logic outputs and these logic signals may be used to launch other program states. Once the method is started, a designer simply corrects errors that occur and then re-starts the design process. The method keeps unconditional outputs of program states and updates conditional outputs and the program states execute until the VLSI design and verification is completed.

A system is provided and includes a plurality of acoustic devices disposed in locations arrayed throughout a defined space, each one of the plurality of acoustic devices being receptive of acoustical attributes such as sound or noise levels generated in the defined space and configured to issue signals reflective of the generated acoustical attributes and an acoustic data unit disposed in signal communication with each of the plurality of acoustic devices. The acoustic data unit is receptive of the signals issued from the plurality of acoustic devices and configured to convert the signals into digital acoustic data and to output the digital acoustic data in a serialized format compatible with a network protocol.

Described herein are methods, systems, apparatuses and products for efficient development of a rule-based system. An aspect provides a method including accessing data records; converting said data records to an intermediate form; utilizing intermediate forms to compute similarity scores for said data records; and selecting as an example to be provided for rule making at least one record of said data records having a maximum dissimilarity score indicative of dissimilarity to already considered examples.

A tape library is provided with a fixed coupling mechanism so that the tape library includes discrete locations via which power and communication are provided to an accessor. The use of such a coupling mechanism in a vertical tape library allows for the use of gravity to ensure that the accessor can couple with the fixed coupling mechanism even when no power is present in the accessor.

A method, system and computer-usable medium for terminating an in-progress voicemail and immediately connecting callers to each other based on identity. A telephone system can be enabled to detect that a calling party (e.g., subscriber “A”) receives no answer from a called party (e.g., subscriber “B”) and if the calling party is a current voicemail recipient from the called party then the voicemail message can be discarded by the telephone system. Such an approach enables an immediate connection between the calling party and the called party to each other by a call switching component. The incomplete voicemail message in the voicemail system is automatically discarded. A command to discard and/or erase the voicemail message can be predetermined by the telephone system.

Systems and methods for the identification of correlated burst events among two or more data streams, given one or more specific query time spans are disclosed. Also broadly contemplated is the act of finding, from one or more data streams, those streams that have correlated burst events with another given data stream within a time span.

A system for facilitating XML enable IMS transactions includes a generic XML processor inside an IMS connect program to facilitate any TCP/IP clients, including WebSphere and non-WebSphere, to send and receive XML documents to and from existing IMS transaction business logic. Translations between XML documents and IMS transaction message data structures occur within the IMS connect program under an XML task to parse and transform XML requests and responses. Further, the generic XML processor within the IMS connect program can provide data translation for both non-formatted and formatted IMS transactional messages in XML.
摘要:
A spin valve sensor includes an antiparallel (AP) pinned layer structure which is self-pinned without the assistance of an antiferromagnetic (AFM) pinning layer. A free layer of the spin valve sensor has first and second wing portions which extend laterally beyond a track width of the spin valve sensor and are exchange coupled to first and second AFM pinning layers. Magnetic moments of the wing portions of the free layer are pinned parallel to the ABS and parallel to major planes of the layers of the sensor for magnetically stabilizing the central portion of the free layer which is located within the track width.
摘要:
High dynamic range, high class count, high input rate winner-take-all on neuromorphic hardware is provided. In some embodiments, a plurality of thermometer codes are received by a neurosynaptic core. The plurality of thermometer codes are split into a plurality of intervals. One of the plurality of intervals is selected. A local maximum is determined within the one of the plurality of intervals. A global maximum is determined based on the local maximum.
