Abstract: Compounds and method of preparation of Si—X and Ge—X compounds (X?N, P, As and Sb) via dehydrogenative coupling between the corresponding unsubstituted silanes and amines (including ammonia) or phosphines catalyzed by metallic catalysts is described. This new approach is based on the catalytic dehydrogenative coupling of a Si—H and a X—H moiety to form a Si—X containing compound and hydrogen gas (X?N, P, As and Sb). The process can be catalyzed by transition metal heterogenous catalysts such as Ru(0) on carbon, Pd(0) on MgO) as well as transition metal organometallic complexes that act as homogeneous catalysts. The —Si—X products produced by dehydrogenative coupling are inherently halogen free. Said compounds can be useful for the deposition of thin films by chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition of Si-containing films.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, devices, and computer-readable storage media that support detection, effect monitoring, and recovery from failure modes in cloud computing application using a failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) engine. Historical metadata related to operation of a hierarchy of devices may be used as training data to train the FMEA engine to identify failure modes experienced by the hierarchy of devices. After training the FMEA engine, metadata from the hierarchy of devices may be input to the FMEA engine to identify a failure mode that may have occurred, and the FMEA engine may select a recovery process to recommend for addressing or mitigating the identified failure mode. In some implementations, the FMEA engine may output an indication of the recommended recovery process and/or initiate performance of one or more operations at the hierarchy of devices to recover from the failure event.

Abstract: Aspects described herein include systems and methods for determining addresses for assets, prioritizing the addresses for inspection by users, and applying natural language processing techniques to unstructured text input by the users. According to some aspects, a message may be received that includes unstructured text that was input by a user. The unstructured text may be associated with an inspection, by the user, of an address for an asset. One or more natural language techniques may be applied to the unstructured text to, among other things, facilitate the determination and sending of a response message to the unstructured text in an automated fashion. The response message may, if the asset was not found, include another address as a suggestion for the user to inspect for the asset. This suggested address may be determined based on changes to address priority that were caused by processing of the unstructured text.

Abstract: A processor has multiple memory interfaces and a memory interleaver controlling access to the memory interfaces. The memory interfaces may each couple with one or more memory devices. The number of memory devices coupled to the different memory interfaces may be unequal. The memory interleaver determines a memory region from a logical address, and a region relative address. It determines the interleave factor IF corresponding to the memory region. It performs an integer division to obtain a device line address, and a modulo operation to obtain an uncorrected channel address. The memory interleaver may add a region start address associated with the memory region to the device line address to obtain a physical line address. It may correct the uncorrected channel address, based on the memory region, to obtain a physical channel address. Some implementations use configuration memories to allow flexibility, other implementations are hardwired for a particular memory architecture.

Abstract: Not every person can or should join an electronic conference (herein, “conference”) where they may contribute content to the conference. While a first set of participants are communicating, a question may arise to be addressed to an additional participant not participating in the conference. Rather than executing the overhead of joining the conference, a separate communication channel is established, such as via an instant messaging application of the additional participant. The additional participant is presented with a message, such as a question, which may indicate the sender is the conference itself. The additional participant replies via their IM application which is delivered to each of the conference participants and optionally included in a recording of the conference.

A second patterned hardmask is formed from the second hardmask layer and a plurality of semiconductor fins is formed in the semiconductor substrate using first polymer blocks as a mask. A first fin of the plurality of semiconductor fins is removed. Subsequent to removing the first fin, a second fin of the plurality of semiconductor fins is removed.

Abstract: Argument registers in a reconfigurable processor are loaded from a runtime program running on a host processor. The runtime program stores a configuration file in a memory. A program load controller reads the configuration file from the memory and distributes it to configurable units in in the reconfigurable processor which sequentially shift it into a shift register of the configuration data store. The runtime program stores an argument load file in the memory and a fast argument load (FAL) controller reads the argument load file from memory and distributes (value, control) tuples to the configuration units in the reconfigurable processor. The configurable units process the tuples by writing the value directly into an argument register made up of a portion of the shift register in the configuration data store specified by the control of the tuple without shifting the value through the shift register.
