Abstract: One or more embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward improved methods of fabricating a semiconductor device utilizing multi-level electron beam lithography (e-beam lithography), an alignment marker for multi-level e-beam lithography, and a semiconductor device including the alignment marker. A method of fabricating a semiconductor device may include: forming an alignment marker in a substrate, the alignment marker including tantalum; determining, utilizing a backscatter electron detector of an electron beam lithography tool, a location of an edge of the alignment marker based on an atomic number contrast between the alignment marker and the substrate; and forming, utilizing the electron beam lithography tool, at least one transistor in the substrate based on the location of the edge of the alignment marker.

Abstract: Integrated chips include first lines, formed on an underlying substrate. Spacers are formed conformally on sidewalls of the plurality of lines. Etch stop remnants are positioned on the sidewalls of the plurality of lines, between the spacers and the underlying substrate. Second lines are formed on the underlying substrate, between respective pairs of adjacent first lines.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing motion vector prediction for video coding are disclosed. A motion vector predictor is determined based at least in part on motion information associated with a selected motion vector predictor origin and offset values corresponding to a selected sampling point. The sampling point is specified according to a set of direction and distance on a sampling map for the motion vector predictor origin.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for orthodontic treatment planning for dentitions with un-erupted or partially erupted teeth. Three-dimensional (3D) descriptors may be indexed on a database by tooth type, with each 3D descriptor including spatial parameters associated with teeth of the same tooth type. The 3D descriptors may have a minimum distance to other 3D descriptors in 3D descriptor space. Methods may include receiving a tooth type of an at least partially un-erupted tooth of a patient, and estimating a shape of the at least partially un-erupted tooth based on at least one of the 3D descriptors with the same tooth type of the at least partially un-erupted tooth.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for obfuscation of browser fingerprint data are disclosed. In one embodiment, in an information processing apparatus comprising at least one computer processor, a method may include: (1) receiving an electronic communication from an electronic device to a destination; (2) identifying a raw device fingerprint value in the electronic communication from an electronic device; (3) selecting at least one replacement value for the raw device fingerprint value; (4) replacing the raw device fingerprint value with the replacement value in the electronic communication; and (5) sending the electronic communication with the replacement value to the destination.

Abstract: Methods and systems for equipping a toilet with hygiene and safety features by controlling and reducing potential escape of liquid waste from the toilet.

Abstract: The subject disclosure relates systems and methods for returning accurate and relevant search results in an online platform. In some aspects, a process of the disclosed technology can include steps for displaying a first set of search results, the first set of search results including a first plurality of media content items arranged in an order of descending relevance based on search frequency, receiving a first character input from a user of a user device, the first character input defining a first character in a search query, and updating the first set of search results to a second set of search results based on the first character input, the second set of search results comprising at least one media content item not included in the first set of search results that is available for consumption by the user. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Abstract: Control system and method for controlling a vehicle or a component of a vehicle in which a maximum speed limit of a vehicle is activated by the driver and set by a GPS or a type of posted speed limit database. A user controlled means such as a button, knob, switch, touch pad, or voice allows driver to set the maximum allowable speed of the vehicle based on the roads posted speed limit, or manual input of the driver's choice. Once the speed limiter invention is engaged, the vehicle will not go past the posted speed limit regardless how much the accelerator pedal is depressed.

Abstract: A heat-exchanging mat to cool livestock provides for elastic water conduction channels displaced toward an upper surface of the mat and provides for cushioning placed below those elastic channels. In this way, a high degree of cushioning may be obtained without sacrificing an efficient transfer of heat into the upper surface of the mat.

Abstract: A machine has a processor and a memory storing instructions executed by the processor to issue a challenge in response to a first request, evaluate a response to the challenge to establish confirmation that the first request originated from a human user, issue a user identification in response to the confirmation, store the user identification with encrypted identity data, receive a second request that includes the user identification, and return the encrypted identity data in response to the second request.

Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture for logging computer generated log messages utilizing a computerized feedback signal. A logging server logs computer generated log messages from a log source at a logging server at a first detail level. The detail level of logging is the amount of information or data logged for a given activity. A log analyzer analyzes the log messages being logged by the logging server at a first detail level. Then, in response to a computerized feedback signal based upon the analysis of the log messages by the log analyzer, the detail level of logging at the logging server is automatically modified to a second detail level which is different than the first detail level.

Abstract: An embodiment provides a computer implemented method for social profile assessment. The computer implemented method receives a request from a first user for an assessment, and sends questionnaires to a set of assessors for the first user. Upon receiving questionnaires from the set of assessors to form completed questionnaires, the computer implemented method generates an unadjusted social style assessment for the first user. Upon receiving a request from a second user for the social style assessment of the first user, the computer implemented method determines whether there are common assessors between the first user and the second user, and responsive to a determination that there are common assessors between the first user and the second user, generates an adjusted social style assessment for the first user, and returns the adjusted social style assessment for the first user to the second user.
