  • Patent number: 11043374
    Abstract: A method and composition for producing a low k dielectric film via plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition comprise the steps of: providing a substrate within a reaction chamber; introducing into the reaction chamber gaseous reagents including at least one structure-forming precursors comprising a silacycloalkane compound, an oxygen source, and optionally a porogen; applying energy to the gaseous reagents in the reaction chamber to induce reaction of the gaseous reagents to deposit a low k dielectric film having dielectric constant of 3.2 or less. In certain embodiments, the structure-forming precursor further comprises a hardening additive.

  • Publication number: 20210157970
    Abstract: System and methods for displaying one or more assets on a client device based on device characteristics are provided. Code is transmitted to a client device. The code, when executed by the client device, causes a processor of the client device to determine a first device characteristic of the client device. A first layout may be selected based on the first device characteristic. The layout may include one or more cards. Each card may correspond to one or more assets. Each card may be modified based on a corresponding card characteristic. One or more assets may be requested. The assets may be displayed on the first client device.

  • Publication number: 20200354386
    Abstract: A method and composition for producing a porous low k dielectric film via chemical vapor deposition is provided. In one aspect, the method comprises the steps of: providing a substrate within a reaction chamber; introducing into the reaction chamber gaseous reagents including at least one structure-forming precursor comprising a alkoxysilacyclic or acyloxysilacyclic compound with or without a porogen; applying energy to the gaseous reagents in the reaction chamber to induce reaction of the gaseous reagents to deposit a preliminary film on the substrate, wherein the preliminary film contains the porogen, and the preliminary film is deposited; and removing from the preliminary film at least a portion of the porogen contained therein and provide the film with pores and a dielectric constant of 3.2 or less. In certain embodiments, the structure-forming precursor further comprises a hardening additive.

  • Publication number: 20200286373
    Abstract: An In-Vehicle Active Traffic Management Information System (IVATMIS) that provides vehicles with messages derived from non-DMS and non-ADMS sources. IVATMIS receives, develops, and prioritizes the messages from these sources to provide suitable message streams to drivers of manually-driven vehicles and to self-driving vehicles that represents the indications on traffic Active Traffic Management device (ATM) deployments on freeways and bridges. The messages include and/or use information obtained from a traffic management center or from a source whose information originates from a traffic management center for ATM traffic management devices other than DMS and ADMS. The messages may include descriptions of traffic events and traffic conditions from Lane Control Signals, Variable Speed Limit Signs, dynamic lane markings, and dynamic toll rate information.
