  • Publication number: 20240136180
    Abstract: A method for growing nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) on Ga2O3 to provide thermal management in Ga2O3-based devices. A protective SiNx interlayer is deposited on the Ga2O3 before growth of the NCD layer to protect the Ga2O3 from damage caused during growth of the NCD layer. The presence of the NCD provides thermal management and enables improved performance of the Ga2O3-based device.

  • Publication number: 20050100145
    Abstract: Screening a telephone call made by a calling party includes receiving a telephone call at a messaging service platform and identifying an account associated with the telephone number to which the calling party directed the incoming telephone call. Configuration data related to the account are accessed, and several identities associated with the account are determined based on the configuration data accessed. A first identity is determined from among the several identities based on the configuration data accessed. The availability of the first identity to receive audio data from the messaging service platform is determined.
