Abstract: Systems and methods for User Equipment (UE)-assisted precoder selection are provided. In one embodiment, a method implemented in a base station for transmitting data to a UE comprises transmitting, to the UE, Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) on two sets of CSI-RS resources; receiving, from the UE, two sets of CSI; estimating a first channel capacity for the codebook-based precoder based on the first set of CSI and a second channel capacity for the non-codebook-based precoder based on the second set of CSI; selecting one precoder from the codebook-based precoder and the non-codebook-based precoder based on the first channel capacity and the second channel capacity; and performing data transmission to the UE using the selected precoder. Embodiments of the proposed solution enable selecting a best precoder from the codebook-based precoder and the non-codebook-based precoder.

Abstract: A method for inspection of 3D manufactured parts or structures or process control of a 3D manufacturing apparatus is provided. The method includes obtaining, in real-time during a 3D manufacturing build process in which at least one structure is built by the 3D manufacturing apparatus, a topographical scan of an area of a build platform on which the at least one structure is built. An evaluating step evaluates, by a processor, the topographical scan to determine a powder depth and/or a layer depth after powder redistribution. A determining step determines based on the evaluating, whether the powder depth or the layer depth is either inside or outside a predetermined range. A modifying step modifies, based on the determining, an operational characteristic of the 3D manufacturing apparatus. The topographical scan is obtained by a laser scan, a blue light scan, a confocal scan or a multifocal plane microscopy scan.

Abstract: A method for depositing an undoped silicate glass layer. An undoped silicon glass layer is formed to fill a recessed region in a semiconductor substrate by performing at least three chemical vapor depositions. The recessed region is a trench of a shallow trench isolation, or a gap between a plurality of polysilicon or conductive layers. At each pass, under deposition conditions that are as conventionally defined, this method comprises increasing the number of times of deposition performed on the substrate and decreasing the time of each deposition inside a reaction chamber in order to have the thickness of the undoped silicate glass thinner. In this manner, the gap filling ability is enhanced and void formation is prevented. This method also includes, before each deposition is performed, rotating the semiconductor substrate a given angle in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction so that by the last deposition, the semiconductor substrate has rotated a total of 360° or a multiple of 360°.
