Publication number: 20240096705Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a plurality of channel layers vertically separated from one another. The semiconductor device also includes an active gate structure comprising a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion wraps around each of the plurality of channel layers. The semiconductor device further includes a gate spacer extending along a sidewall of the upper portion of the active gate structure. The gate spacer has a bottom surface. Moreover, a dummy gate dielectric layer is disposed between the gate spacer and a topmost channel layer of plurality of channel layers. The dummy gate dielectric layer is in contact with a top surface of the topmost channel layer, the bottom surface of the gate spacer, and the sidewall of the gate structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Kuei-Yu Kao, Chen-Yui Yang, Hsien-Chung Huang, Chao-Cheng Chen, Shih-Yao Lin, Chih-Chung Chiu, Chih-Han Lin, Chen-Ping Chen, Ke-Chia Tseng, Ming-Ching Chang

Patent number: 10862840Abstract: A compose form for drafting a message is presented inline within a window along with a message list. For example, instead of overlaying the message application's user interface (UI) with a new window for composing a message, the compose form is displayed within a portion of the window reserved for viewing content of messages. While composing the message using the compose form, the rest of the message application's UI remains visible and accessible to the user. For example, the user may navigate to another folder and/or move to another message/conversation by interacting with the tree view/message list view. A draft of the message being composed may be automatically saved when the user navigates away from the compose form (e.g. by selecting another conversation in the list view).Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: David Pierre Marcel Claux, Michael Anthony Faoro, John Leslie Gibbon, Jason Todd Henderson, Chao-Chung Lin, Robert Steven Meyer, Andrew John Sullivan, Guojun Yu

Patent number: 10725632Abstract: Techniques for providing an in-place contextual menu and user interface for email and other information management system triage are provided in which a contextual menu can be overlaid or replace an item on a view screen. The contextual menu can provide action commands specific to the type and state of the items selected in the feature view of the email or other information management system. A single recognized selection input, such as a swipe gesture, selects an item and invokes an in-place contextual menu presenting actions that can be asserted on the selected item. Multiple item selection is available through the same invocation of presenting the in-place contextual menu.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2017Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jeffrey K. Feiereisen, Yung-Cheng Chen, Ryan Thomas Murphy, Eva Britta Karolina Burlin, Michael Anthony Faoro, Kenneth Fern, Michael R. Gow, Chao-Chung Lin, Joseph McLaughlin

Patent number: 10659416Abstract: Systems, methods, and software disclosed herein facilitate draft reminders. In at least one implementation, a primary view of an information management application is rendered. In various scenarios the primary view may include primary items, such as emails, events, tasks, or other types of items. When a reminder view is invoked, draft items are identified to include in the reminder view. The reminder view is then rendered in an overlaid manner with respect to the primary view and includes the draft items.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2019Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Eva Britta Karolina Burlin, Chao-Chung Lin, David Claux, Kristian L.M. Andaker, Jason Todd Henderson, Russell Lee Simpson, Jr., Jasdeep Singh Chugh, Joseph P. McLaughlin, Jonathan D. Friedman

Publication number: 20180241710Abstract: A compose form for drafting a message is presented inline within a window along with a message list.

While composing the message using the compose form, the rest of the message application's UI remains visible and accessible to the user. For example, the user may navigate to another folder and/or move to another message/conversation by interacting with the tree view/message list view.
