Abstract: In a variety of processes for forming electronic devices that use spin-on dielectric materials, properties of the spin-on dielectric materials can be enhanced by curing these materials using plasma doping. For example, hardness and Young's modulus can be increased for the cured material. Other properties may be enhanced. The plasma doping to cure the spin-on dielectric materials uses a mechanism that is a combination of plasma ion implant and high energy radiation associated with the species ionized. In addition, physical properties of the spin-on dielectric materials can be modified along a length of the spin-on dielectric materials by selection of an implant energy and dopant dose for the particular dopant used, corresponding to a selection variation with respect to length.

Abstract: An electronic device is operated by determining its location on a body of a human or an animal, as an ending point of a path from another electronic device. The path is predetermined by measuring at multiple frequencies, a property indicative of loss of an AC signal that propagates through the body along the path between the pair of electronic devices, to obtain measurements. The multiple measurements are thereafter used to select a particular path through the body, from among a group of paths through the body which are characterized in one or more training phases, e.g. by use of a classifier. After a particular path through the body is identified, based on an ending point of the particular path, an electronic device at that ending point is configured, e.g. by turning on or turning off a specific sensor, or by setting a rate of transmission of data.

Abstract: A system may comprise a network diagnostic device. The network diagnostic device may be configured to instantiate objects of data collection classes. The data collection classes may be configured to collect data from nodes of a network. The data collection classes may, for instance, inherit an interface object from an ancestor data collection class, and the interface object may be configured to use a protocol to collect data from nodes of a network. The network diagnostic device may be configured to automatically detect a node type associated with a node of a network. The network diagnostic device may also be configured to instantiate a node-specific data collection object associated with the detected node type. The node-specific data collection object may be configured to collect data from nodes of the detected node type at intervals less than or equal to fifteen seconds.
