Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing a user interface for dynamic site compilation in a cloud-based content hub environment. In accordance with an embodiment, embodiments provide a user interface that allows a non-technical user, as well as technical users, such as website developers, to “mark”, or flag, various components of a website or page. One category of such marks or flags can indicate that such items marked or flagged with this category of are to be dynamically loaded upon website access (e.g., fetched from a source and then loaded into a website for viewing), while another category of mark or flag can indicate items so marked to be fixed at compile time (e.g., static cache, that is the content is compiled within the published website).

Abstract: Techniques describes herein include using software tools and feature vector comparisons to analyze and recommend images, text content, and other relevant media content from a content repository. A digital content recommendation tool may communicate with a number of back-end services and content repositories to analyze text and/or visual input, extract keywords or topics from the input, classify and tag the input content, and store the classified/tagged content in one or more content repositories. Input text and/or input images may be converted into vectors within a multi-dimensional vector space, and compared to a plurality of feature vectors within a vector space to identify relevant content items within a content repository. Such comparisons may include exhaustive deep searches and/or efficient tag-based filtered searches. Relevant content items (e.g., images, audio and/or video clips, links to related articles, etc.

Abstract: Ethylenediamine (EDA) compositions and methods for making the EDA that is suitable for use in thin-film semiconductor processing applications, are disclosed. The EDA is purified to remove water and trace metals. Water levels below about 50 ppm by weight are achieved by passing liquid through 3A type molecular sieve in a packed bed. Metallic impurities are removed by distillation and the resulting product is packaged in specially dried and optionally pre-conditioned containers.

Abstract: Methods are provided of selectively obtaining n-type and p-type regions from the same III-Nitride layer deposited on a substrate without using diffusion or ion-implantation techniques. The III-Nitride layer is co-doped simultaneously with n-type and p-type dopants, with p-type dopant concentration higher than n-type dopant to generate p-n junctions. The methods rely on obtaining activated p-type dopants only in selected regions to generate p-type layers, whereas the rest of the regions effectively behave as an n-type layer by having deactivated p-type dopant atoms.

The method further includes removing the phthalimide from the aqueous reaction mixture by extracting the aqueous reaction mixture with an organic solvent in a first extractor for a first time period, at a first extraction temperature and subsequent to the first time period, extracting the aqueous reaction mixture with an organic solvent in a second extractor for a second time period, at a second extraction temperature. The aromatic tetraacid salt is converted to the corresponding aromatic dianhydride. Aromatic dianhydrides prepared according to the method are also described.
