Abstract: Technologies for a transistor with a thin-film ferroelectric gate dielectric are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a transistor has a thin layer of scandium aluminum nitride (ScxAl1-xN) ferroelectric gate dielectric. The channel of the transistor may be, e.g., gallium nitride or molybdenum disulfide. In one embodiment, the ferroelectric polarization changes when voltage is applied and removed from a gate electrode, facilitating switching of the transistor at a lower applied voltage. In another embodiment, the ferroelectric polarization of a gate dielectric of a transistor changes when the voltage is past a positive threshold value or a negative threshold value. Such a transistor can be used as a one-transistor memory cell.

Abstract: A simulated process is initiated. The simulated process includes generating, by an emulator, a control signal based on external inputs. The simulated process further includes processing, by a simulator, the control signal to generate simulated response data. The simulated process further includes generating, by a deep learning processor, expected behavioral pattern data based on the simulated response data. An actual process is initiated by initializing setpoints for a process station in a manufacturing system. The actual process includes generating, by the deep learning processor, actual behavioral pattern data based on actual process data from the at least one process station. The deep learning processor compares the expected behavioral pattern to the actual behavioral pattern. Based on the comparing, the deep learning processor determines that anomalous activity is present in the manufacturing system. Based on the anomalous activity being present, the deep learning processor initiates an alert protocol.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for controlling an autonomous vehicle to enter a driveway. As an example, an instruction to pickup or drop off a passenger at a location may be received. It may be determined that the vehicle is arriving in a lane on an opposite side of a street as the location, the lane having a traffic direction opposite to a traffic direction of a lane adjacent to the location. A difficulty score to maneuver the vehicle to the lane adjacent to the location may be determined, and the difficulty score may be compared to a predetermined difficulty score. Based on the comparison, it may be determined to an available driveway on the same side of the street as the location. The vehicle may be controlled to enter the available driveway.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to methods for sending event notifications.
