Abstract: An electronic universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) performs one or more operations to increase the reliability and decrease the execution time of remote profile management (RPM) commands or local profile management (LPM) commands. In some embodiments, the eUICC scans through a received script containing RPM commands and then selectively defers some responsive actions such as refresh commands. An eSIM server that originates the script, in some embodiments, mandates performance of a refresh command after a particular RPM command by including an explicit refresh command code in the script. In some embodiments, the eSIM server includes a command instructing the eUICC to hold responsive refresh commands until the completion of the script. In some scenarios, execution of one or more RPM or LPM commands may be interfered with by a card application toolkit (CAT) session. Embodiments provided herein prioritize the RPM/LPM commands as more important than the CAT session.

Abstract: A method includes forming a dielectric layer on a substrate and patterning the dielectric layer to form an opening in the dielectric layer. A first layer of metallic material (e.g., non-nitride metal) is deposited to form a liner layer on an upper surface of the dielectric layer and on exposed surfaces within the opening. A second layer of metallic material (e.g., copper) is deposited to fill the opening with metallic material. An overburden portion of the second layer of metallic material is removed by planarizing the second layer of metallic material down an overburden portion of the liner layer on the upper surface of the dielectric layer. A surface treatment process (e.g., plasma nitridation) is performed to convert the overburden portion of the liner layer into a layer of metal nitride material. The layer of metal nitride material is selectively etched away using a wet etch process.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods and systems for generating modified digital images utilizing a neural network that includes a rendering layer. In particular, the disclosed systems and methods can train a neural network to decompose an input digital image into intrinsic physical properties (e.g., such as material, illumination, and shape). Moreover, the systems and methods can substitute one of the intrinsic physical properties for a target property (e.g., a modified material, illumination, or shape). The systems and methods can utilize a rendering layer trained to synthesize a digital image to generate a modified digital image based on the target property and the remaining (unsubstituted) intrinsic physical properties. Systems and methods can increase the accuracy of modified digital images by generating modified digital images that realistically reflect a confluence of intrinsic physical properties of an input digital image and target (i.e., modified) properties.
