  • Publication number: 20230279030
    Abstract: A composition useful in depositing low dielectric constant (low-k) insulating materials into high aspect ratio gaps, trenches, vias, and other surface features, of semiconductor devices by a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process is disclosed. The composition may comprise an alkoxy-functionalized cyclosiloxane derived from trimethylcyclotrisiloxane, tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, or pentamethylcyclopentasiloxane. The alkoxy-functionalization may comprise between 1 and 10 carbon atoms. A method of depositing the alkoxy-functionalized cyclosiloxane composition by a PECVD process is also disclosed. Finally, a film comprising a flowable liquid, or oligomer, comprising the oligomerized, or polymerized, alkoxy-functionalized cyclosiloxane composition, on a substrate is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11483377
    Abstract: Time-based media is distributed and promoted in a social networking environment. Accounts of a social networking system author social media content items (SMCIs) from which a social networking system infers relevance of content to users of those accounts. Content distributors submit time-based media content to the social networking system, which creates distributor SMCIs containing the time-based media content. Accounts are identified to receive distributor SMCIs based on SMCIs previously authored by those accounts as well as identifying information and the subject of the SMCI. Content promoters may add promotional material to distributor SMCIs, which the social networking service sends to additional accounts.

  • Patent number: 10487543
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a lock including an actuator that is movable between an unlocked position and a locked position, and a bolt that is movable between an extended bolt position and a retracted bolt position independent of the position of the actuator. In the extended bolt position, the bolt extends outside a body of the lock. A coupling element is arranged between the actuator and the bolt and is movable between an extended coupling position and a retracted coupling position in response to movement of the actuator between the locked position and the unlocked position. A first biasing element biases the coupling element toward the retracted coupling position, and a second biasing element couples the coupling element to the bolt and is structured to bias the bolt away from the coupling element and towards the extended bolt position.

  • Patent number: 10237192
    Abstract: A network monitoring apparatus and system are disclosed to detect quality of service indicator values in headers of packets received via a network port. Based on detecting the quality of service indicators values, the apparatus and system maintain, for each of a plurality of quality of service indicator values, a count of the number of packets having the respective quality of service indicator value. The apparatus and system further maintain, for each of the plurality of quality of service indicator values, a total volume of network traffic having the respective quality of service indicator value. The packet counts and total network traffic volumes are output to a host processor. The host processor, in response to receiving the packet counts and network traffic volumes, transmits the packet counts and network traffic volumes to a network controller.

  • Patent number: 8458834
    Abstract: A travel pillow includes a base panel having a plurality of segregated, independently-inflatable bladders therein for supporting a user's head and neck. Extending from each of two opposing side edges of the base panel is a fastening strap having a hook-and-loop fastener thereon. Accordingly, the fastening straps are secured about a passenger seat headrest or other support surface to provide a pillow for supporting a passenger's head that can be inflated to a desired firmness.
