Abstract: A system and a method for generating an automated GIF file generation system is described. In one aspect, the method includes accessing an animated GIF file, identifying a plurality of elements displayed in the animated GIF file, applying a variation of one or more elements to the animated GIF file, and generating a variant animated GIF file by applying the variation of the one or more elements to the animated GIF file. The system measures a trending metric of the variant animated GIF file based on a number of times the variant animated GIF file is shared on the communication platform and uses the trending metric as a feedback to generating the variant animated GIF file.

Abstract: In a method for identifying visually similar media content items, perceptual hashes for video frames of media content items are received. The perceptual hashes are compared for at least a portion of video frames. Based on the comparing the perceptual hashes for at least a portion of video frames, it is determined whether media content items are matching. The media content items indicated as matching are grouped.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and apparatus for account inheritance. The method performed at a gateway server includes generating a user access token based on user information received at the gateway server, and receiving information identifying a deceased. The method includes determining one or more account identifiers corresponding to one or more accounts associated with the deceased. The method includes determining a list of beneficiaries corresponding to the one or more accounts associated with the deceased, and generating a record including the user information, the information identifying the deceased, the one or more account identifiers, and the list of beneficiaries for storing in a databased using user access token, thereby generating a form accessible based on the user access token to display content corresponding to the record stored in the database.

Abstract: A lawn mower and spreader system includes a deck, a hopper, and a spreading element. The deck supports an engine having a power takeoff and at least partially surrounds a blade coupled to the power takeoff. The hopper is configured to support granular fertilizer. Furthermore, the hopper has a discharge chute leading to an opening in the deck. The spreading element is coupled to the power takeoff of the engine and is positioned between the deck and the blade. The spreading element includes a hub and arms that extend laterally from hub. The arms are spaced apart from one another by open slots.

Abstract: A process for fabricating an ONO floating-gate electrode in a two-bit EEPROM device includes the formation of a nitrogenated top oxide layer. The process includes the sequential formation of a silicon nitride layer and a top oxide layer using an in-situ LPCVD or RTCVD deposition process in which the silicon nitride layer is not exposed to ambient atmosphere prior to the formation of the top oxide layer. After forming the top oxide layer, an annealing process is carried out to diffuse nitrogen into the top oxide layer. The formation of a nitrogenated top oxide layer provides an improved two-bit EEPROM memory device by reducing charge leakage in the ONO floating-gate electrode.

Abstract: A process for fabricating an ONO floating-gate electrode in a two-bit EEPROM device includes the formation of a top oxide layer using a high-temperature-oxide (HTO) deposition process in which the HTO process is carried out at a temperature of about 700 to about 800° C. by either an LPCVD or RTCVD deposition processor. The process further includes the sequential formation of a silicon nitride layer and a top oxide layer using an in-situ LPCVD or RTCVD deposition process in which the silicon nitride layer is not exposed to ambient atmosphere prior to the formation of the top oxide layer. The formation of the top oxide layer using an HTO deposition process provides an improved two-bit EEPROM memory device by reducing charge leakage in the ONO floating-gate electrode.

Abstract: A process for fabricating a MONOS type Flash cell device having a periphery field oxide region and a bit-line region includes providing a semiconductor substrate and growing a barrier silicon oxide layer to overlie semiconductor substrate. Thereafter, a thick silicon nitride layer is formed to overlie the barrier silicon oxide layer. A mask and etch are performed at the periphery of the MONOS type cell to form a trench in the semiconductor substrate. The periphery field oxide region is formed by depositing silicon oxide to fill the trench. Thereafter, a mask and etch are performed at the core of the MONOS cell to form a trench in the semiconductor substrate. The bit-line oxide region is formed by depositing silicon oxide to fill the trench. Thereafter, the thick silicon nitride layer is removed. Since the periphery field oxide region and bit-line region are formed before the thick nitride layer is removed, the formation of an unwanted bird's beak is reduced.

Abstract: A process for fabricating an ONO floating-gate electrode in a two-bit EEPROM device includes the formation of a first and second oxide layers using a high-temperature-oxide (HTO) deposition process in which the HTO process is carried out at a temperature of about 700 to about 800° C. The process further includes the sequential formation of a first silicon oxide layer, a silicon nitride layer, and a second silicon oxide layer using an RTCVD process in which the silicon nitride layer is not exposed to ambient atmosphere prior to the formation of the top oxide layer. The formation of the first and second oxide layers using an RTCVD process provides an improved two-bit EEPROM memory device by reducing charge leakage in the ONO floating-gate electrode.

Abstract: A process for fabricating an ONO structure for a MONOS type Flash cell having a core and a periphery includes providing a semiconductor substrate. A first silicon oxide layer is grown overlying the semiconductor substrate, and a silicon nitride layer is deposited overlying the silicon oxide layer. Before depositing a second silicon oxide layer of the ONO structure, a bit-line mask is performed for forming at least one bit-line at the core. Thereafter, an ONO mask is formed to protect the ONO structure during an etch of the periphery. After depositing and cleaning the masks for the bit-line formation and the periphery etch, the second silicon oxide layer is deposited to overlie the silicon nitride layer using an HTO deposition process. By depositing the second silicon oxide layer after forming the ONO and bit-line masks, degradation of the second silicon oxide layer is prevented, and the top silicon oxide layer maintains a high quality.
