Abstract: A method of selective deposition that includes disposing in a deposition chamber a patterned substrate of side-by-side areas of metal and dielectric. The deposition chamber is connected to a bubbler that contains an N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) precursor. By heating the bubbler, gaseous free NHC is generated which is pulsed into the deposition chamber, where the NHC selectively chemisorbs onto the metal surface. Annealing after deposition of NHC improves surface patterning by removing stray metal from the dielectric section.

Abstract: Compositions in the form of oil-based solutions that form oil-in-water (OIW) microemulsions in the aqueous environment of the GI tract when taken orally via a hard or soft capsule are described. The resulting microemulsions that form from the oil-based solution within the GI tract can rapidly deliver oil-soluble species and alcohol-soluble species (including PEG derivative assisted alcohol-soluble species) deliverables to the bloodstream through the tissues forming the GI tract. The in situ formed microemulsions resulting from consumption of the encapsulated oil-based solutions include oil-phase microemulsion droplets of monolayer surfactant bound particles suspended in the aqueous continuous phase of the GI tract. The oil-based solutions also may in situ form water-core liposomes suspended in the aqueous continuous phase of the GI tract.

Abstract: A Human-Machine Interface (HMI) system provides graphical displays to communication devices. The HMI system processes status data from machine systems to generate display data for the graphical displays. The HMI system receives selection information indicating one of the communication devices and one of the graphical displays. In response, the HMI system retrieves display parameters for the selected communication device and retrieves the display data for the selected graphical display. The HMI system processes the display data and the display parameters to display a first model of the selected communication device rendering the selected graphical display. The HMI system allows the user to modify the graphical display and view a second model of the communication device rendering the modified graphical display.

Abstract: Disturb from the reset to the set state may be reduced by creating an amorphous phase that is substantially free of crystal nuclei when programming the reset state in a phase change memory. In some embodiments, this can be achieved by using a current or a voltage to program that exceeds the threshold voltage of the phase change memory element, but does not exceed a safe current voltage which would cause a disturb.
