In some embodiments, the co-reagent includes water, hydrogen peroxide, oxygen, ozone, formic acid, maleic acid, or an alcohol.

Abstract: Precursors and methods related to a tin-based photoresist are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a method for forming a tin-based photoresist may include exposing a tin-containing precursor and a co-reagent to a substrate to form a photoresist having tin clusters; selectively exposing the photoresist to extreme ultraviolet radiation (EUV); and exposing the photoresist to heat to form, in the region, crosslinking between the tin clusters. In some embodiments, the precursor has a formula R1R2Sn(N(CH3)2)2, and R1 and R2 are selected from the group consisting of neo-silyl, neo-pentyl, phenyl, benzyl, methyl-bis(trimethylsilyl), methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, tert-butyl, n-butyl, N,N-dimethylpropylamine, and N, N-dimethlybutylamine. In other embodiments, the precursor includes a chelating alkyl-amine or alkyl-amide ligand featuring a 5 membered or 6 membered tin-based heterocycle bound ?2-C,N with an alkyl group on the ligand backbone, wherein the alkyl group includes methyl, ethyl, vinyl, hydrogen, or tert-butyl.

Abstract: The present technology is directed to igniter pellets for use with an expendable countermeasure flare assembly with an igniter assembly with a pellet receptacle. An igniter pellet of one or more embodiments has a moisture insensitive first layer formed by a first composition comprising a mixture of a fuel material that includes Boron, an oxidizer material that includes Bismuth Oxide and/or Potassium Perchlorate, and a granular matrix binder holding the fuel material and the oxidizer material together. A second layer is formed by a second composition that has a fuel material that includes Magnesium, an oxidizer that includes Polytetrafluoroethylene, and a binder material that includes a fluoropolymer elastomer. The second layer is contained in the pellet receptacle and covered by the first layer, so that the second layer is isolated and protected from ambient moisture by the moisture insensitive first layer.

Abstract: A physical cryptocurrency may comprise a physical medium and an attached processor. The processor may generate a public-private key pair, or the public-private key pair may be generated in a secure and auditable manner external to the processor and stored on the processor. The private key may enable execution of a smart contract on a blockchain to transfer an asset from a starting address to a destination address on the blockchain.

Abstract: Descried herein are platforms for generating extracellular vesicles. Described herein are compositions of extracellular vesicles. Also described herein are methods of using the extracellular vesicles for therapeutics delivery.

Abstract: Systems and methods that may be implemented to provide supplemental cooling air for a portable information handling system from one or more mechanically-adjustable cooling air supply outlets that may be positioned and/or repositioned at multiple different locations relative to a portable information handling system, such as notebook computer or laptop computer. In one example, the disclosed systems and methods may be implemented to have one or more mechanically-adjustable cooling air supply outlets that may be positioned and/or repositioned to align with differing geometries of cooling air inlet opening locations that correspond to different portable information handling system sizes and/or designs.

Abstract: Described herein are IC devices that include molybdenum or a molybdenum compound, such as compounds including oxygen or nitrogen. The molybdenum may be deposited at a high concentration, e.g., at least 50% atomic density. Also described herein are mid-valent molybdenum precursors for depositing molybdenum, and reactions for producing the mid-valent molybdenum precursors. For example, the molybdenum precursors may be generated by reacting a higher-valent molybdenum compound with an amidinate or a formamidinate.
