  • Patent number: 12176407
    Abstract: A method to form a transistor device with a recessed gate structure is provided. In one embodiment, a gate structure is formed overlying a device region and an isolation structure. The gate structure separates a device doping well along a first direction with a pair of recess regions disposed on opposite sides of the device region in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A pair of source/drain regions in is formed the device region on opposite sides of the gate structure. A sidewall spacer is formed extending along sidewalls of the gate structure, where a top surface of the sidewall spacer is substantially flush with the top surface of the gate structure. A resistive protection layer is then formed on the sidewall spacer and covering the pair of recess regions.

    Abstract: Video decoding innovations for multithreading implementations and graphics processor unit (“GPU”) implementations are described. For example, for multithreaded decoding, a decoder uses innovations in the areas of layered data structures, picture extent discovery, a picture command queue, and/or task scheduling for multithreading. Or, for a GPU implementation, a decoder uses innovations in the areas of inverse transforms, inverse quantization, fractional interpolation, intra prediction using waves, loop filtering using waves, memory usage and/or performance-adaptive loop filtering. Innovations are also described in the areas of error handling and recovery, determination of neighbor availability for operations such as context modeling and intra prediction, CABAC decoding, computation of collocated information for direct mode macroblocks in B slices, reduction of memory consumption, implementation of trick play modes, and picture dropping for quality adjustment.

  • Patent number: 12176512
    Abstract: A method for direct recycling of degraded lithium-ion battery (LIB) cathodes includes relithiating degraded lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM) by mixing the cathode particles with a eutectic molten-salt solution and heating the mixture at ambient pressure over a period of time, followed by a short-time thermal annealing. Combining low-temperature relithiation using the eutectic molten-salt solution with thermal annealing provides successful regeneration and full recovery of the LIB to its original storage capacity, cycling stability and rate capability to the levels of the pristine materials. The method is useful to recycle and remanufacture degraded cathode materials for LIB or sodium-ion batteries.
