Abstract: Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same include forming a bottom source/drain structure around a fin. A multi-layer bottom spacer is formed on the bottom source/drain structure, around the fin. Each layer of the multi-layer bottom spacer has a respective vertical height above the bottom source/drain structure, with a layer of the multi-layer bottom spacer that is farthest from the fin having a greater vertical height than a layer that is closest to the fin, to address parasitic capacitance from the bottom source/drain structure.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a point determination and projection device configured to automatically detect the location of a point of interest, such as a midpoint or other intermediate point on a surface, and to project light or another image onto such point of interest to indicate its location to a user. In accordance with certain aspects of an embodiment of the invention, the device includes remote distance measurement devices, such as laser distance measurement devices, that measure the distance to, for example, corners of a wall surface, and a digital protractor that measures the angle between the two remote distance measurement devices. Based on those measurements, a processor calculates the location of a predesignated point of interest, such as a midpoint or other intermediate point between the two wall corners, and projects a light or other image toward the location of such midpoint or other intermediate point to indicate such location to a user.

Abstract: An interactive voice response (IVR) system including iterative speech recognition with semantic interpretation is deployed to determine when a user is finished speaking, thus saving them time and frustration. The IVR system can repeatedly receive an audio input representing a portion of human speech, transcribe the speech into text, and determine a semantic meaning of the text. If the semantic meaning corresponds to a valid input or response to the IVR system, then the IVR system can determine that the user input is complete and respond to the user after the user is silent for a predetermined time period. If the semantic meaning does not correspond to a valid input to the IVR system, the IVR system can determine that the user input is not complete and can wait for a second predetermined time period before determining that the user has finished speaking.

Abstract: An interactive voice response (IVR) system including iterative speech recognition with semantic interpretation is deployed to process an audio input in a manner that optimizes and conserves computing resources and facilitates low-latency discovery of start-of-speech events that can be used to support external processes such as barge-in operations. The IVR system can repeatedly receive an audio input at a speech processing component and apply an input-aware recognition process to the audio input. In response to generating a start-of-speech event, the IVR system can apply an input-unaware recognition process to the remaining audio input and determine a semantic meaning in relation to the relevant portion of the audio input.

Abstract: A spider for a rotary molding process is provided. The spider includes an upper mold enclosure, a lower mold enclosure, and a clamping assembly. The lower mold enclosure is configured to selectively cooperate with the upper mold enclosure to facilitate retention of a mold housing therebetween. The clamping assembly comprises a collar, a plurality of brace members, and a clamping member. Each brace member is coupled with each of the collar and the upper mold enclosure. The clamping member is rotatably coupled with the lower mold enclosure and is rotatable about an axis in a clamping and unclamping direction. The axis extends through the collar. The collar is spaced from the upper mold enclosure along the axis. Rotation of the clamping member in the clamping direction facilitates translation of the collar towards the lower mold enclosure to facilitate urging of the upper mold enclosure and the lower mold enclosure together.

Abstract: An architecture analyzer for managing a distributed system includes persistent storage and an entity identifier. The persistent storage stores a profile repository. The entity identifier obtains entity characteristics associated with an entity. The entity identifier performs an entity analysis of the entity characteristics using the profile repository to predict at least one candidate device type for the entity. The entity identifier remediates the entity based on the at least one candidate device type for the entity.

Abstract: A method for managing a business process in an enterprise includes executing a business process model, wherein executing the business process model comprises generating a plurality of business level messages associated with business level tasks, generating one or more system level messages associated with system level tasks to be performed by one or more enterprise subsystems, wherein the one or more system level messages are in a common format that is accessible by the one or more enterprise subsystems, and broadcasting the one or more system level messages over a communication channel communicably coupling the plurality of enterprise subsystems. A system includes a communication channel carrying system level messages in a generic format, a plurality of business subsystems communicably coupled to the communication channel, adapters operable to translate messages from the generic format into associated business subsystem specific formats and vice versa.

Abstract: The community network may be configured to deliver relevant, informative, and useful content regarding the client to individual users of the community. Further, individual users may be provided an opportunity to communicate with one another and to invite new users into their community. Additionally, users may collaborate with one another and with the sponsoring client. The community network system includes a set of software applications designed to support multiple clients through domains set up by a system administrator. The domains are secure partitions within the system which are accessible to unique communities of users and configured with specific tools and user roles for each client's purposes. Further, each user is assigned a role in the system based on the features and privileges that the client wishes to make available to that user in the system.

Abstract: A walking stabilizer equipped to combat the effects of akinesia paradoxica by employing a novel method and device to regulate and actuate a projection instrument which generates a pattern perpendicular to the user's direction of travel. The regulating and actuating device comprises a two pole series switch circuit configuration in tandem with the walking stabilizer's novel dual action braking mechanism. The projection device is only operable when the user concurrently selects its use and when the walker stabilizer is free for movement or in contact with the patient.
