Publication number: 20240120415Abstract: Technologies for a field effect transistor (FET) with a ferroelectric gate dielectric are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, a perovskite stack is grown on a buffer layer as part of manufacturing a transistor. The perovskite stack includes one or more doped semiconductor layers alternating with other lattice-matched layers. Growing the doped semiconductor layers on lattice-matched layers can improve the quality of the doped semiconductor layers. The lattice-matched layers can be etched away, leaving the doped semiconductor layers as fins for a ribbon FET. A ferroelectric layer can be conformally grown on the fins, creating a high-quality ferroelectric layer above and below the fins. A gate can then be grown on the ferroelectric layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Scott B.

Publication number: 20240108722Abstract: Provided herein are tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) engineered to express a membrane-bound interleukin 15 (mbIL15). The mbIL15 TILs can be expanded in vitro using arapid expansion protocol without the use of exogenous interleukin 2 (IL2) and can be used in adoptive cell therapy without concomitant use of an exogenous cytokine such as IL2. The TIL can be further engineered such that the mbIL15 is operably linked to one or more drug responsive domains (DRDs), polypeptides that can regulate the abundance and/or activity of the IL15 upon binding of the DRD with a ligand. Also provided herein are components for making the modified TILs and methods for making and using the modified TILs.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: OBSIDIAN THERAPEUTICS, INC.Inventors: Kyle Pedro, James Alexander Storer, Jan ter Meulen, Rachel Burga, Mithun Khattar, Michelle Ols, Jeremy Tchaicha, Shyamsundar Subramanian

Publication number: 20240113212Abstract: Technologies for a field effect transistor (FET) with a ferroelectric gate dielectric are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, a perovskite stack is grown on a buffer layer as part of manufacturing a transistor. The perovskite stack includes one or more doped semiconductor layers alternating with other lattice-matched layers, such as undoped semiconductor layers. Growing the doped semiconductor layers on lattice-matched layers can improve the quality of the doped semiconductor layers. The lattice-matched layers can be preferentially etched away, leaving the doped semiconductor layers as fins for a ribbon FET. In another embodiment, an interlayer can be deposited on top of a semiconductor layer, and a ferroelectric layer can be deposited on the interlayer. The interlayer can bridge a gap in lattice parameters between the semiconductor layer and the ferroelectric layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Ian Alexander Young, Dmitri Evgenievich Nikonov, Marko Radosavljevic, Matthew V.

Publication number: 20240113220Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Arnab Sen Gupta, Ian Alexander Young, Dmitri Evgenievich Nikonov, Marko Radosavljevic, Matthew V.

Publication number: 20220211321Abstract: A limb tracking biofeedback platform and rehabilitation therapy methodology for spasticity patients improves and maintains limb functionality permitting compliance monitoring, patient encouragement and biofeedback outside the presence of a therapist. The method includes defining a desired therapeutic limb motion, and a goal for repetitions of the therapeutic motion over a given period. The platform includes at least one sensor coupled to the patient's limb which is configured to track at least one of limb movement and orientation. Tracked movement and/or orientation data is transmitted to a platform controller which calculates a number of therapeutic movements of the patient's limb based upon the tracked movement and/or orientation data. Biofeedback to the patient is provided by displaying at least the number of therapeutic movements. Typically reminder prompts and positive reinforcement of goals achieved are also displayed to the patient. The therapist can also have access to the recorded data.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2022Publication date: July 7, 2022Applicants: THE TRUSTEES OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, TEACHERS COLLEGEInventors: Blynn L.
