Abstract: Technologies for a field effect transistor (FET) with a ferroelectric gate dielectric are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, a perovskite stack is grown on a buffer layer as part of manufacturing a transistor. The perovskite stack includes one or more doped semiconductor layers alternating with other lattice-matched layers. Growing the doped semiconductor layers on lattice-matched layers can improve the quality of the doped semiconductor layers. The lattice-matched layers can be etched away, leaving the doped semiconductor layers as fins for a ribbon FET. A ferroelectric layer can be conformally grown on the fins, creating a high-quality ferroelectric layer above and below the fins. A gate can then be grown on the ferroelectric layer.

Abstract: Technologies for a transistor with a thin-film ferroelectric gate dielectric are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a transistor has a thin layer of scandium aluminum nitride (ScxAl1-xN) ferroelectric gate dielectric. The channel of the transistor may be, e.g., gallium nitride or molybdenum disulfide. In one embodiment, the ferroelectric polarization changes when voltage is applied and removed from a gate electrode, facilitating switching of the transistor at a lower applied voltage. In another embodiment, the ferroelectric polarization of a gate dielectric of a transistor changes when the voltage is past a positive threshold value or a negative threshold value. Such a transistor can be used as a one-transistor memory cell.

Abstract: A system and method for managing inventory for an electronic raffle is provided. The system may include an inventory database to store inventory data for one or more items to be sold via the electronic raffle, wherein the inventory data includes in-store inventory data and online inventory data, a mobile application configured to generate a raffle entry for the one or more items, a raffle database configured to store the inventory data and one or more raffle entries, and a middleware server configured to update the in-store inventory data stored in the raffle database based on the updated in-store inventory data obtained from the inventory database. The middleware server selects a first round winning raffle entry, transmits a notification to the mobile device associated with the first round winning raffle entry, and initiates a payment process upon determining that the first round winning raffle entry applies to the lightning round.

Abstract: An inflatable kayak constructed of drop-stitch material. When inflated, the drop-stitch members form a rigid, planar structure. To form a non-planar contour in one of the surfaces of a drop-stitch member, the opposing surface is folded over onto itself and a strip of glue along the fold adheres the opposing surface along the glue strip, thereby forming a V-fold extending into the interior of the drop-stitch member. When the member is inflated, the V-fold will alter the profile of the opposing surface and cause the first surface to project away along that profile. The V-fold can be augmented by use of a V-tape or contour member within the V-fold. Using a contour member in the V-fold creates profiles that a fold alone cannot produce.

Abstract: A clamping device for a shaft of a catheter can include a first member rotatably coupled to a second member. The first member can have an annular element defining a central lumen, the outer surface of the annular element having a non-circular cross-sectional profile, and the second member can define a bore into which the annular element extends, the bore having a non-circular cross-sectional profile. The device can move between a release state wherein the central lumen has a first diameter, and a clamped state wherein the central lumen has a second diameter less than the first diameter. When the clamping device is in the clamped state, the clamping device can engage an outer surface of a catheter shaft and when the clamping device is in the release state, the clamping device can be moved along a length of the catheter shaft.

Abstract: Spent zeolite equilibrium catalyst from the fluidized catalytic cracker has a useful function as an adsorbent for jet fuel. Redirecting such spent catalyst saves costs for refinery operations in two ways. The first is by avoiding the costs for disposing of such catalyst as hazardous waste. The second is to reduce the cost of procuring sorbent for the jet fuel decontamination process. Since zeolite is primarily silica and conventional sorbents are also silica, zeolite catalysts are chemically similar. And the equilibrium catalyst may be regenerated in the FCC after its becomes saturated with jet fuel contaminants and re-used.
