  • Patent number: 9917176
    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device. In this method, a semiconductor fin is formed on a semiconductor substrate. Two cells adjacent to each other are formed on the semiconductor fin. A gate conductor is formed on a top of the semiconductor fin at a common boundary that is shared by the two cells. A gate spacer is formed to peripherally enclose the gate conductor. The gate conductor and the semiconductor fin are etched to form an air gap, thereby dividing the semiconductor fin into two portions of the semiconductor fin. A dielectric cap layer is deposited into the air gap to cap a top of the air gap.

  • Patent number: 9915571
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of radio frequency identification, in particular to a temperature measurement and calibration circuit and a passive radio frequency identification tag. Meanwhile, the present invention further relates to a method for performing temperature measurement by using the tag. The temperature measurement and calibration circuit of the tag generates an upper reference voltage value limit and a lower reference voltage value limit, which do not change with temperature, then calibrates the upper reference voltage value limit and the lower reference voltage value limit to a uniform upper voltage value limit and a uniform lower voltage value limit, and eliminates the problem of different reference voltages of tags due to the power supply voltage fluctuation and process deviation. Meanwhile, a temperature measurement voltage generator circuit of the tag generates a calibration voltage value under a uniform calibration temperature.

  • Patent number: 9915945
    Abstract: A system and method for optimizing a rescue operation of an individual. The method comprises maintaining, by an individual engaged in an activity, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) associated with and in proximity to the individual. For storage at the UAV, the individual records at a recording device a message. A sensor device is configured to detect a situation requiring a need to rescue the individual at a current location, and generates a trigger signal in response to a detection. In response to the receipt of the trigger signal, a current GPS location of the individual is recorded and a launching of the UAV to traverse a flight-path to a destination location. At or before arriving at the destination location, the UAV contemporaneously provides the stored recorded message and current GPS location of the individual to an emergency response authority to inform of the individual's situation and location.
