Publication number: 20240106700Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to methods for sending event notifications. In some examples, a controller periodically sends messages concerning a status of an event corresponding to the controller. In some examples, at a first time while periodically sending the messages and in accordance with a determination that the status of the event has changed, the controller sends a message concerning data other than the status of the event. In some examples, at the first time while periodically sending the messages and in accordance with a determination that the status of the event has not changed, the controller continues to periodically send the messages without sending the message concerning data other than the status of the event.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Ramy R. ASSELIN, John A. WILKEY, Jamie P. CARLSON, Stephanie L. LEGAULT, Abdul Rahman AL-SHAWA, Anil K. KANDANGATH, George E. WILLIAMS, Jangwon LEE, James D. BATSON, Fabien GONCALVES

Publication number: 20110089404Abstract: A graphene device includes a graphene layer and a back gate electrode connected to apply a global electrical bias to the graphene from a first surface of the graphene. At least two graphene device electrodes are each connected to a corresponding and distinct region of the graphene at a second graphene surface. A dielectric layer blanket-coats the second graphene surface and the device electrodes. At least one top gate electrode is disposed on the dielectric layer and extends over a distinct one of the device electrodes and at least a portion of a corresponding graphene region. Each top gate electrode is connected to apply an electrical charge carrier bias to the graphene region over which that top gate electrode extends to produce a selected charge carrier type in that graphene region. Such a carbon structure can be exposed to a beam of electrons to compensate for extrinsic doping of the carbon.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2009Publication date: April 21, 2011Applicant: PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGEInventors: Charles M.
