  • Patent number: 11938465
    Abstract: The invention discloses a coordination type zirconium phosphotungstate catalyst and its application in catalytic hydrogenation of furfural, belonging to the field of heterogeneous catalysis. The zirconium phosphotungstate catalyst prepared by the invention not only has good catalytic effect on the conversion of furfural to furfuryl alcohol, but also has mild reaction conditions. The yield of solid line furfuryl alcohol can be 98% if it can be reacted for 1 h at 120 ° C., and the amount of catalyst is less, which greatly reduces the energy consumption in the prior art. In addition, the zirconium phosphotungstate prepared by the invention is easy to separate, has good stability for catalyzing the hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol, and is a new, efficient and green catalyst.

  • Publication number: 20240087955
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming tungsten features in semiconductor devices is provided. The method includes exposing a top opening of a feature formed in a substrate to a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process to deposit a tungsten liner layer within the feature. The PVD process is performed in a first processing region of a first processing chamber and the tungsten liner layer forms an overhang portion, which partially obstructs the top opening of the feature. The substrate is transferred from the first processing region of the first processing chamber to a second processing region of a second processing chamber without breaking vacuum. The overhang portion is exposed to nitrogen-containing radicals in the second processing region to inhibit subsequent growth of tungsten along the overhang portion. The feature is exposed to a tungsten-containing precursor gas to form a tungsten fill layer over the tungsten liner layer within the feature.

  • Patent number: 11930414
    Abstract: Hybrid use of dual policies is provided to improve a communication system. In a multiple access scenario, when an inactive user equipment (UE) transitions to an active state, it may be become a burden to a radio cell on which it was previously camping. In some embodiments, hybrid load balancing is provided using a hierarchical machine learning paradigm based on reinforcement learning in which an LSTM generates a goal for one policy influencing cell reselection so that another policy influencing handover over active UEs can be assisted. The communication system as influenced by the policies is modeled as a Markov decision process (MDP). The policies controlling the active UEs and inactive UEs are coupled, and measureable system characteristics are improved. In some embodiments, policy actions depend at least in part on energy saving.
