  • Patent number: 11088239
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards a trench capacitor with a conductive cap structure. In some embodiments, the trench capacitor comprises a lower capacitor electrode, a capacitor dielectric layer overlying the lower capacitor electrode, and an upper capacitor electrode overlying the capacitor dielectric layer. The capacitor dielectric layer and the upper capacitor electrode are depressed into the substrate and define a gap sunken into the substrate. The conductive cap structure overlies and seals the gap on the upper capacitor electrode. In some embodiments, the conductive cap structure comprises a metal layer formed by physical vapor deposition (PVD) and further comprises a metal nitride layer formed overlying the metal layer by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In other embodiments, the conductive cap structure is or comprises other suitable materials and/or is formed by other deposition processes.

  • Publication number: 20210226930
    Abstract: A method that includes receiving patient-generated event data over a network from a patient device associated with a patient having an active digital therapy prescription for treating an underlying disease or disorder. The patient-generated event data is encrypted by the patient device and includes at least one timestamped event related to the active digital therapy prescription. In response to receiving the patient-generated event data, the method includes decrypting, anonymizing, and storing the anonymized patient-generated event data on memory hardware.

  • Patent number: 11061588
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes receiving a request to add a generic volume entry to a generic volume element list, storing the generic volume entry in the generic volume element list in a SMS configuration in a SCDS, and building a volume list definition of the SMS configuration. A unit control block chain is parsed for determining additional specific volumes. It is determined whether a specific volume found in the parsing was not used in the building. In response to a determination that the specific volume found in the parsing was not used in the building, it is determined, for the specific volume found in the parsing, whether at least one predetermined condition is met. The specific volume found in the parsing is added to the volume list definition in response to a determination that the at least one predetermined condition is met.

  • Patent number: 11044259
    Abstract: An enhanced email service that mitigates drawbacks of conventional email services by enabling transmission of encrypted content to a recipient regardless of the recipient having a prior relationship with the sender or having credentials issued from a certificate authority. A method is provided for receiving encrypted content and generating a message includes both the encrypted content as an attachment and a link to enable decrypted access to the decrypted content. The method may include transmitting the message to an intended recipient's mailbox while also storing the message in an organizational mailbox to provide for subsequent decryption of the encrypted content. The link may provide the intended recipient of the message with decrypted access to the encrypted content in various ways depending on, for example, whether the recipient is viewing the message through a webmail browser or through a local mail client that is compatible with the enhanced email service.
