The feature includes a package of code and an action setting. The methods in some implementations include identifying active devices on which the application has been installed, monitoring the application according to a set of metrics, activating the feature by changing its action setting for a first segment of the active devices, pausing the feature if an anomaly is detected among the set of metrics, and generating a repair ticket.

Abstract: An ammonium fluoride gas may be used to form a protection layer for one or more interlayer dielectric layers, one or more insulating caps, and/or one or more source/drain regions of a semiconductor device during a pre-clean etch process. The protection layer can be formed through an oversupply of nitrogen trifluoride during the pre-clean etch process. The oversupply of nitrogen trifluoride causes an increased formation of ammonium fluoride, which coats the interlayer dielectric layer(s), the insulating cap(s), and/or the source/drain region(s) with a thick protection layer. The protection layer protects the interlayer dielectric layer(s), the insulating cap(s), and/or the source/drain region(s) during the pre-clean process from being etched by fluorine ions formed during the pre-clean process.

Abstract: Disclosed are examples related to data driven interfaces for decoupling management system components from a manufacturer or a platform of client devices managed by the management system. In some examples, among others, a system can generate a data driven interface template that can be used to cause rendering of a data driven user interface for configuring a profile payload of a device profile for the client device. The system can generate, based on values associated with the data driven user interface, a profile document in an instance in which values are obtained from the data driven user interface. In some aspects, the profile document is a generic representation of the profile payloads for the platform, the manufacturer or the type of the client device.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for isolating commercial components from a harsh vehicle operating environment to increase the longevity of such components and to decrease their failure rate. Also described herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for monitoring the operational health status of vehicle components for failure, and upon detecting failure of a component, initiating a processing task reassignment and fault recovery process.

When the failed component is operational again, the vehicle may revert back to the task assignment in place prior to the component failure, may continue with the current task assignment, or may transition to another different task reassignment.

Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for throttling (i.e., adjusting) the workload of an application (e.g., number of task requests) in order to improve processor core usage within a heterogeneous multiprocessor system. When high-performance processing is beneficial to the application, the number of task requests may be increased in order to have high-performance processor cores within the heterogeneous multiprocessor system core processor perform the tasks. On the other hand, when high-performance processing is not beneficial, the number of task requests may be decreased in order to have low-performance processor cores within the heterogeneous multiprocessor system perform the tasks. Processor core usage is monitored, and the number of tasks being performed are adjusted to match the processor core usage to a target processor core usage for functions the application is performing.
