  • Patent number: 11389644
    Abstract: A flexible thin film metal oxide electrode fabrication methods and devices are provided and illustrated with thin film polyimide electrode formation and IrOx chemical bath deposition. Growth factors of the deposited film such as film thickness, deposition rate and quality of crystallites can be controlled by varying the solution pH, temperature and component concentrations of the bath. The methods allow for selective deposition of IrOx on a flexible substrate (e.g. polyimide electrode) where the IrOx will only coat onto an exposed metal area but not the entire device surface. This feature enables the bath process to coat the IrOx onto every individual electrode in one batch, and to ensure electrical isolation between channels. The ability to perform selective deposition, pads for external connections will not have IrOx coverage that would otherwise interfere with a soldering/bumping process.

  • Patent number: 11343360
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides packet aggregation and disaggregation methods. In the packet aggregation methods, the protocol-independent packet processor (P4) switch stores plural message headers of plural packets in the ring buffer. When the plural message headers stored in the ring buffer reach a pre-defined amount of data, the P4 switch replaces the first flag header in the current packet with a second flag header so as to form a work packet. The egress pipeline of the P4 switch recirculates the work packet repeatedly, whenever it receives a work packet, a message header is extracted from a plurality of message headers in the ring buffer and added to the working packet for packet aggregation.
