Abstract: A system to improve a product based on a relaxation response includes a memory configured to store relaxation response data of a sample. The relaxation response data includes time data and amplitude data. A processor is operatively coupled to the memory and configured to convert the relaxation response data to linear-amplitude versus log-time data. The processor also performs a least-squares fit of the converted relaxation response data to a heavy-tail function to determine one or more fit parameter values. The processor also updates a design for the sample based at least in part on the one or more fit parameter values.

Abstract: According to certain aspects of the present disclosure, a device is provided. The device includes a thin film of cobalt. A platinum layer is disposed on the thin film of cobalt. An aluminum layer is disposed on the platinum layer. The aluminum layer disposed on the platinum layer encapsulates the thin film of cobalt. A plurality of electrical contacts is in electrical communication with the thin film of cobalt. Two electrical contacts of the plurality of electrical contacts are configured to receive a write-current therebetween. Four electrical contacts of the plurality of contacts are configured for reading a 4-point resistance.

Abstract: An integrated circuit chip is defined by a stack of several interconnected layers. The integrated circuit chip includes at least two layers of dissimilar metal patterned to define an array of integrated bimetallic thermocouples.
