    Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of forming diodes in which a first electrode is formed to have a pedestal extending upwardly from a base. At least one layer is deposited along an undulating topography that extends across the pedestal and base, and a second electrode is formed over the least one layer. The first electrode, at least one layer, and second electrode together form a structure that conducts current between the first and second electrodes when voltage of one polarity is applied to the structure, and that inhibits current flow between the first and second electrodes when voltage having a polarity opposite to said one polarity is applied to the structure. Some embodiments include diodes having a first electrode that contains two or more projections extending upwardly from a base, having at least one layer over the first electrode, and having a second electrode over the at least one layer.

  • Publication number: 20150074195
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to wireless communication performed by various user devices. A user device determines whether or not it is an active user device, transmits a notification to the one or more user devices indicating that it is not the active user device, and receives, from the active user device, updated application data for one or more applications installed on both the user device and the active user device, wherein a same user is logged in to the one or more applications on both the user device and the active user device. The active user device transmits a notification to the one or more user devices indicating that it is the active user device, receives, from a remote server, updated application data for the one or more applications, and transmits the updated application data to the one or more user devices.

  • Publication number: 20150045041
    Abstract: Multi-subscription access terminals are adapted to facilitate establishment of a transcoder-free communication path. According to at least one example, an access terminal can initiate a call with a terminating communication device using a first subscription, including attempting to establish a transcoder-free communication path. If a transcoder-free communication path cannot be established using the first subscription, the access terminal can switch to using a second subscription. The access terminal can then initiate a call with the terminating communication device using the second subscription module, including attempting again to establish a transcoder-free communication path.

  • Patent number: 8938545
    Abstract: The system generates a change in the SIP INVITE message during a call transfer. Here, a user relation element involved in the call can change the header information in the message to include the endpoint view of the transferring party. Thus, the INVITE message is redirected to the transferring party's user relation element, which can interpret the received message and “unravel” the B2BUAs in the existing call path. The system includes changes in the user relation element to effect the message change and interpret the message once received. Changes to the user relation element forgo the need to change the communication endpoints.
