Abstract: In one or more embodiments described herein, device, computer-implemented methods, and/or computer program products that facilitate automated survey results generation from an image are provided. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise an image capturing component that captures a first sample image. The computer executable components can further comprise an image processing component that processes the first sample image to determine a survey count, wherein the survey count indicates a number of times a survey image was identified in the first sample image. The computer executable components can further comprise an authentication component that adjusts the survey count based on detection of a discrepancy.

Abstract: Techniques for MRAM patterning using a diamond-like carbon hardmask are provided. In one aspect, a method of forming an MRAM device includes: forming an MRAM stack on a substrate; depositing a metal hardmask layer on the MRAM stack; depositing a diamond-like carbon layer on the metal hardmask layer; forming a patterned resist on the diamond-like carbon layer; patterning the diamond-like carbon layer using the patterned resist to form a diamond-like carbon pillar; patterning the metal hardmask layer using the diamond-like carbon pillar to form a patterned metal hardmask; and patterning the MRAM stack into an MRAM pillar using the patterned metal hardmask to form the MRAM device. An MRAM device is also provided.

Abstract: A technique relates to a magnetic device. A stack is formed including a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ), the MTJ including a reference magnetic layer and a free magnetic layer sandwiching a tunnel barrier layer. A protective film is formed on a bottom portion of the MTJ such that an upper portion of the MTJ is exposed. A cleaning is performed on the upper portion of the MTJ that is exposed such that any residual material is removed.

Abstract: A hammer accessory is capable of being affixed to a head of a hammer and configured to increase leverage for effectively removing nails from a surface while protecting the surface from being damaged. The hammer accessory includes a body having a central wall section, a first lateral wall section affixed to a first side of the central wall section, and a second lateral wall section affixed to a second side of the central wall section. Notably, the first lateral wall section and the second lateral wall section are equidistantly and oppositely offset from the centrally axis. Each of the first lateral wall section and the second lateral wall section is provided with friction-inducing members extending towards the centrally registered longitudinal axis.

Abstract: An illuminating lacrosse shaft is configured for attachment to a lacrosse head to form a lacrosse stick for low-light use. The lacrosse shaft includes an elongated, cylindrical, substantially hollow translucent shaft formed with a head end axially separated from a butt end, a connector for attaching a lacrosse head to the head end of the shaft. A light source positioned within the shaft and an electronic controller connected to the light source controls the light source operation including activating the light source to radiate light axially between within the shaft in response to a signal.
