Abstract: In a method of predicting extreme ultraviolet (EUV) dose, an entire photochemical reaction mechanism until a photoacid generator (PAG) molecule releases a proton from a PAG-cation under EUV exposure may be analyzed. A lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level may be obtained by performing a simulation for structural optimization of the PAG-cation. An additional parameter different from the LUMO energy level may be obtained by performing a simulation for structural optimization of at least one intermediate molecular structure formed by the entire photochemical reaction mechanism. A two-parameter linear regression model for predicting the EUV dose may be obtained based on the LUMO energy level and the additional parameter.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for creating a virtual collaborative space within an intelligent workflow framework. One or more processors of a computer system identify the need for a virtual collaborative space where human interactions can occur to test or optimize the existing workflow and identify triggers for when the virtual collaborative space shall be initiated based on historical learning models trained from instrumentation data generated by the workflow. Responsive to a trigger from the identified triggers, the one or more processors of the computer system alert a first user to enter the virtual collaborative space and initiate the virtual collaborative space. The one or more processors of the computer system replicate a scenario that activated the trigger including identifying parties of interest to the scenario and enable the first user to address an issue in the existing workflow that caused the trigger to occur.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for interactive pose-based graphic effects. The method includes receiving an image including at least one object having a pose, the pose defined by an orientation and a position of the object within the image. A set of key joint data that represents the orientation and position of one or more points of interest associated with the object is generated. A vector representation of the set of key joint data is created for classifying one or more additional images that each include a candidate pose. One or more additional images are received. A match is detected between one of the candidate poses in the one or more additional images and the pose by comparing the vector representation of the set of key joint data to the candidate pose. A visual effect is generated based on the match.

Abstract: In some examples, an augmented reality (AR) server receives instructional data to be rendered in AR. The AR rendering server extracts multiple instruction steps from the instructional data and determines multiple spatial identifiers associated with the multiple instruction steps respectively. The multiple spatial identifiers correspond to multiple spatial objects in a real-world environment. The AR rendering server then generates AR rendering data for displaying the multiple instruction steps on an AR device at selected locations associated with the multiple spatial objects in the real-world environment. The AR rendering data is then transmitted to the AR device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media which retarget 2D screencast video tutorials into an active VR host application. VR-embedded widgets can render on top of a VR host application environment while the VR host application is active. Thus, VR-embedded widgets can provide various interactive tutorial interfaces directly inside the environment of the VR host application. For example, VR-embedded widgets can present external video content, related information, and corresponding interfaces directly in a VR painting environment, so a user can simultaneously access external video (e.g., screencast video tutorials) and a VR painting. Possible VR-embedded widgets include a VR-embedded video player overlay widget, a perspective thumbnail overlay widget (e.g., a user-view thumbnail overlay, an instructor-view thumbnail overlay, etc.), an awareness overlay widget, a tutorial steps overlay widget, and/or a controller overlay widget, among others.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally pertains to methods of preparing a well-ordered nanoparticle coating on a substrate. A nanoparticle solution having nanoparticles in a solvent is deposited on a sub-phase of a denser, immiscible liquid. A constrained area on the top surface of the sub-phase is provided, where nanoparticle solution spreading is physically limited and the nanoparticles spontaneously form a uniformly ordered monolayer on the sub-phase within the constrained area. Notably, no compression of the nanoparticle film occurs after the spreading phase in order to form the monolayer. After the monolayer is formed, a substrate is placed into contact with the monolayer and coated with a well-ordered nanoparticle coating.
