Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses for power systems and energy storage systems are disclosed herein. The system, or part thereof, may be configured to determine an operational plan for controlling device(s) (e.g., an energy storage device and/or a load device) such that the device(s) may increase their power consumption in response to an increasing voltage at a grid connection point thus reducing the probability that the voltage level at the grid connection point rises to or above an upper limit.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to semiconductor processing for a bipolar junction transistor (BJT). In an example, a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate and a bipolar junction transistor on the semiconductor substrate. The bipolar junction transistor includes a collector layer on the semiconductor substrate, a base layer on the collector layer, a raised base layer on the base layer, a dielectric spacer on the base layer and along a sidewall of the raised base layer, and an emitter layer on the base layer. The dielectric spacer is laterally between the raised base layer and the emitter layer. The emitter layer extends over the dielectric spacer and at least partially over the raised base layer. The raised base layer has a substantially continuous upper surface from a distance away from the emitter layer to the dielectric spacer underlying the emitter layer.

Abstract: Magnetic anastomosis devices constructed from magnetic segments coupled together with members that help the devices spontaneously transform from a linear delivery configuration to a polygonal deployment configuration. When two devices are joined together over tissue(s), the compressive force causes the tissue(s) to necrose and form an anastomosis. By altering the arrangement of the magnetic poles of the magnetic segments in the devices, the magnetic interaction between paired devices can be altered. This property gives surgeons flexibility in choosing how much attractive force the devices will experience during a procedure.
