Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor structure with a lateral bipolar junction transistor (BJT). This semiconductor structure can be readily integrated into advanced silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology platforms. Furthermore, to maintain or improve upon performance characteristics (e.g., cut-off frequency (fT)/maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) and beta cut-off frequency) that would otherwise be negatively impacted due to changing of the orientation of the BJT from vertical to lateral, the semiconductor structure can further include a dielectric stress layer (e.g., a tensilely strained layer in the case of an NPN-type transistor or a compressively strained layer in the case of a PNP-type transistor) partially covering the lateral BJT for charge carrier mobility enhancement and the lateral BJT can be configured as a lateral heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT). Also disclosed is a method for forming the semiconductor structure.

Abstract: A system receives a time series of data values from instrumented software executing on an external system. Each data value corresponds to a metric of the external system. The system stores a level value representing a current estimate of the time series and a trend value representing a trend in the time series. The level and trend values are based on data in a window having a trailing value. In response to receiving a most recent value, the system updates the level value and the trend value to add an influence of the most recent value and remove an influence of the trailing value. The system forecasts based on the updated level and trend values, and in response to determining that the forecast indicates the potential resource shortage event, takes action.

Abstract: Computer systems and associated methods are disclosed to implement a database dependency monitoring system (DDMS) that periodically collects activity data from an inventory of databases and generates dependency graphs indicating data dependencies among the databases. In embodiments, the collection of the activity data may be implemented as three sets of jobs that are run periodically. In the first job set, the databases are checked to see if they can be connected to. In the second job set, queries are run in each of the available databases to generate output files containing their activity data. In a third job set, the output files are transformed and loaded into a metadata store, which can be used to generate the dependency graph based on the collected activity data. Advantageously, the disclosed system may be used to adaptively monitor a changing inventory of many databases, while causing little or no performance impact on the databases.

Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer including a membrane film and a perforated baseplate. The baseplate can have a conductive surface with a plurality of perforations formed through the baseplate. The membrane film can have a conductive surface and be positioned under tension proximate to the perforations formed through the baseplate.

A base station may transmit, within a first transmission time interval (TTI), a grant triggering a user equipment (UE) to transmit an aperiodic sounding reference signal (A-SRS), and may identify offset information indicating a TTI offset relative to the grant. The base station may determine a second TTI for the A-SRS based on the TTI offset. A UE may detect, within a first TTI, the grant triggering the UE to transmit the A-SRS, identify the offset information indicating the TTI offset relative to the grant, and determine the second TTI for transmitting the A-SRS based on the TTI offset. The UE may transmit the A-SRS in an SRS resource of the second TTI, and the base station may monitor the SRS resource of the second TTI for the A-SRS.
