Abstract: Methods of cutting fins, and structures formed thereby, are described. In an embodiment, a structure includes a first fin on a substrate, a second fin on the substrate, and a fin cut-fill structure disposed between the first fin and the second fin. The first fin and the second fin are longitudinally aligned. The fin cut-fill structure includes an insulating liner and a fill material on the insulating liner. The insulating liner abuts a first sidewall of the first fin and a second sidewall of the second fin. The insulating liner includes a material with a band gap greater than 5 eV.

Abstract: Biocompatible microparticles include an ophthalmically active cyclic lipid component and a biodegradable polymer that is effective, when placed into the subconjunctival space, in facilitating release of the cyclic lipid component into the anterior and posterior segments of an eye for an extended period of time. The cyclic lipid component can be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix of a two biodegradable polymers. Or, the cyclic lipid component can be encapsulated by the polymeric component. The present microparticles include oil-in-water emulsified microparticles. The subconjunctivally administered microparticles can be used to treat or to reduce at least one symptom of an ocular condition, such as glaucoma or age related macular degeneration.

Abstract: An intelligent energy system includes an energy-consuming appliance, a battery module coupled to the appliance, and a bidirectional converter coupled to the appliance and the battery module by a power bus. The battery module is configured to provide power to the appliance. The bidirectional converter converts between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) and interfaces with a power infrastructure external to the appliance. The system further includes a control unit communicatively coupled to the battery module, the bidirectional converter, and the appliance. The control unit is configured to determine a charge and discharge schedule for the battery module. The battery module coupled with the bidirectional converter provides uninterrupted power to the appliance, abstracts the power demands of the appliance from local power infrastructure, and allows for greater appliance peak power draw than would otherwise be practical or possible.

Abstract: Techniques for improved dynamic transmission are provided. Occurrence of a defined event, of a plurality of defined events, is detected within a healthcare supply platform. A user corresponding to the occurrence of the defined event is identified, and a link to a customized webpage is generated based on a defined webpage template corresponding to the defined event. A transmission is generated based on a defined message template corresponding to the defined event, wherein the transmission includes the link to the customized webpage. The first transmission is transmitted to the user.

Abstract: A distributed computer system and method for synchronizing content libraries in replication groups uses a synchronization control signal that is transmitted to a subscribed content library management module of each subscribed content library in a replication group from a content library management module of the master content library in the replication group to initiate a synchronization procedure. Using metadata of at least one consumable software item from the master content library, contents of a subscribed content library in the replication group are modified to synchronize its contents to the contents of the master content library.
