Abstract: Disclosed herein are approaches for forming a uniform film with reduced surface roughness for photonic applications. One method includes providing a workpiece including a contact etch stop layer (CESL) over a device layer, patterning the CESL to expose an upper surface of the device layer in a waveguide target area, and patterning a waveguide from a dielectric film formed over the waveguide target area. The method may further include directing ions into an upper surface of the waveguide using a high-temperature ion implant to decrease a surface roughness of the upper surface of the waveguide.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for performing content generation based on audience engagement. In some implementations, a method includes presenting a first portion of content. Engagement data is obtained for an audience comprising a plurality of persons while the first portion of the content is presented. Based on the engagement data, a collective engagement level of the audience is determined for the first portion of the content. A second portion of the content that has not been presented is adjusted based on the collective engagement level of the audience for the first portion of the content in order to satisfy an engagement threshold. After adjusting the second portion of the content, the second portion of the content is presented to the audience.

Abstract: A system can determine a heterogeneity and a score for a reservoir for optimizing a drilling location. The system can receive a wireline log associated with a well that is positioned in a subterranean formation that includes a reservoir. The system can determine, using the wireline log, at least one statistical parameter for an interval of the well. The system can determine, using the at least one statistical parameter, a vertical heterogeneity of the reservoir. The system can determine, using the vertical heterogeneity, a score associated with the reservoir. The score can indicate an extraction difficulty and a carbon intensity of the reservoir. The system can output the score for optimizing a drilling location.

Abstract: A device capable of being attached to a work machine and which is designed to remove fireproofing, insulation and other material from buildings. The device includes a brush element that, when in contact with the material, rotates and strips the material from the building. The device is elevated by the work machine to contact the material to be stripped. This enables rapid clearing of the material with significantly fewer personnel.

Abstract: A system and method for optimizing a ribbon ion beam in a beam line implantation system is disclosed. The system includes a calibration sensor disposed in the beam line after the mass analyzer. The calibration sensor is able to measure both the total current of the ribbon ion beam, as well as provide information about its vertical position. Information from the calibration sensor can then be utilized by a controller to adjust various parameters to improve the density as well as the vertical position. In some embodiments, the calibration sensor may include a plurality of Faraday sensors, where, both the total current and the vertical position of the ion beam can be determined. Furthermore, the focus of the ion beam can be estimated based on the distribution of the current in the height direction.
