Abstract: A small-gap device system, preferably including two or more electrodes and one or more spacers maintaining a gap between two or more of the electrodes. A spacer for a small-gap device system, preferably including a plurality of legs defining a mesh structure. A method of spacer and/or small-gap device fabrication, preferably including: defining lateral features, depositing spacer material, selectively removing spacer material, separating the spacer from a fabrication substrate, and/or assembling the small-gap device.

Abstract: A content variation experiment system for performing variation testing of web pages is disclosed. A content provider receives requests for a web page undergoing an experiment. The content provider determines a variation from a plurality of variations of the web page to provide to the user. The content provider makes the determination without sending a network request to an experiment definition system used to define the experiment thereby reducing network latency.

Abstract: A method of forming a composite dielectric material can be provided by performing a first deposition cycle to form a first dielectric material and performing a second deposition cycle to form a second dielectric material on the first dielectric material, wherein the first and second dielectric materials comprise different dielectric materials selected from a list consisting of a transition metal nitride, a transition metal oxide, a transition metal carbide, a transition metal silicide, a post-transition metal nitride, a post-transition metal oxide, a post-transition metal carbide, a post-transition metal silicide, a metalloid nitride, a metalloid oxide, and a metalloid carbide.

Abstract: A metamaterial includes a first continuous layer formed with a first material by atomic layer deposition (ALD), a first non-continuous layer formed with a second material by ALD on first upper surface portions of a first upper surface of the first continuous layer, and a second continuous layer formed with the first material by ALD on second upper surface portions of the first upper surface of the first continuous layer and on a second upper surface of the first non-continuous layer.
