Abstract: Systems and methods which provide physical task interaction control with respect to fulfilment management systems used in order fulfilment management are described. A physical task interaction controller may be provided in association with a fulfilment management system, whereby a user interface is configured to provide physical task interaction control for one or more functions of the fulfilment management systems by shipper personnel. A physical task interaction controller of embodiments may comprise a natural protocol engine, an augmented reality engine, and an artificial intelligence engine. The physical task interaction control of embodiments facilitates shipper personnel interacting with, and controlling operations of, the fulfilment management system relevant to a fulfilment physical task currently being performed by the shipper personnel without either the need for separate personnel to perform the digital tasks or the shipper personnel having to leave the fulfilment physical tasks.

Abstract: An improved method for making an integrated circuit. That method includes forming a first dielectric layer on a substrate, etching a trench into that layer, then filling the trench with a conductive material. The conductive material is then electropolished to form a recessed conductive layer within the first dielectric layer.
