  • Publication number: 20250024657
    Abstract: A method includes depositing a metal to form a gate layer for a first memory cell in a metallization layer of the semiconductor device. The method includes forming a plurality of semiconductor channels separated from the gate layer by a gate oxide layer. The method includes defining a plurality of gates from the gate layer. The method includes interconnecting the plurality of gates and the plurality of semiconductor channels to form a memory cell, wherein the interconnection comprises a plurality of mezzanine levels.

  • Patent number: 12057003
    Abstract: A system and method for deciphering signals and messages from a control unit, and mapping those signals to the associated sensors to create a map of the sensor status. The map of the sensor status is then used in conjunction with a dongle and software application to interface with the control unit, able to receive messages from the control unit to monitor the status of the sensors, and to send messages to the control unit to manipulate the sensors. The system and method can further be used to interface with the electronic control unit of a vehicle to detect unattended access of the vehicle and ensure no passengers are left abandoned in the vehicle, such as by sending alerts to a mobile device of the user, triggering alarms in the vehicle, or sending alerts to emergency services.
