Abstract: Transistor structures comprising a gate electrode, or “gate,” that is self-aligned to underlying channel material. A mask material employed for patterning the channel material is further employed to define a cap of mask material having a larger width that protects a portion of gate material during a gate etch. The cap is therefore self-aligned to the channel material so that an amount by which a gate material extends laterally beyond the channel material is ensured to be symmetrical about a centerline of the channel material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for providing access information to a service provider for a property comprising of an apartment or condo association and for a specific apartment within the apartment or condo association. The system utilizes a software system to schedule the access for the service provider and automated lock management access control to control the access to the property and the specific apartment.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for pre-distorting a radio frequency transmit signal based on local oscillator clock shaping are disclosed. In certain embodiments, one or more clock signals generated by a local oscillator and used for mixing in a transceiver are shaped to account for non-linearity of a power amplifier that amplifies the radio frequency transmit signal. Such pre-distortion can be performed in addition to or alternatively to performing digital pre-distortion on a digital representation of the radio frequency transmit signal.

Abstract: A system to search in a low visibility environment comprising: an infrared (IR) sensor and a radar unit to receive measurements in a first field of view; a microphone to receive audio measurements in a second field of view; processing circuitry to determine presence of an animal and/or human in the first field of view using a first machine learning engine trained based upon the IR image measurements and/or using a second machine learning engine trained based upon the radar image measurements; determine presence of an animal and/or human in the second field of view using a third machine learning engine trained based upon the audio measurements; providing a first digital transmission indicating whether a human and/or animal is detected within the first field of view; and providing a second digital signal indicating whether a human and/or animal is detected within the second field of view.

Abstract: A vehicle seating assembly is provided that includes a seatback and a seat that includes a seat frame and a support assembly. The support assembly is coupled to the seat frame and movable between an elevated position and a flattened position in response to an actuation force applied on the support assembly. The support assembly includes an extension member having a first end fixedly coupled to the seat frame and a second end rotatably coupled to the seat frame, and a plate having a first side rotatably coupled to the seat frame and a second side slidably coupled to the seat frame.

Abstract: A vehicle seating assembly includes a seat and a seatback. The seatback includes a frame that has opposing first and second frame members and first and second displaceable panels that are pivotably coupled to the first and second frame members. The first and second displaceable panels are movable between stored positions and deployed positions in response to a force exerted on the seatback.

Abstract: An asset inventory for a site location is conducted by providing a user with a mobile interface, collecting a site ID, collecting an equipment ID, collecting equipment asset information, associating the equipment ID and equipment asset information with the site ID, and storing the equipment asset information, equipment ID, and site ID in one or more data repositories. Site surveys are conducted based on a system comprising a server, one or more data repositories, a mobile data interface, a network, and a series of rules corresponding to service and maintenance of site equipment.

Abstract: Non-idealities of input circuitry of a receiver signal chain can significantly degrade the overall performance of the receiver signal chain. A digital nonlinearity correction (NLC) can be implemented in a receiver signal chain having an ADC. Digital NLC can be designed as a drop in signal preconditioner for existing RF ADC wideband receiver signal chains. A unique equalizer can compensate for a variety of mixer spurs. Accordingly, digital NLC can correct nonlinearities due to mixers and any amplifiers preceding or following the ADC, potentially improving receive chains performance by 15-25 dB. Such a digital NLC solution can be particularly beneficial in defense and instrumentation applications which demand the greatest performance.

Abstract: The systems and methods of the present disclosure provide highly deformable porous membrane culture systems and actuation methods for studying the effects of biomedical stretch on cultured tissue. A well plate can include a well having a first opening configured to receive an insert coupled to a deformable membrane. The well plate can include a gasket positioned within the well and configured to create a seal between the insert and the well when the insert is positioned in the well. The well plate can include a chamber defined beneath the well, the chamber configured to receive fluid media and to expose the fluid media to a surface of the deformable membrane when the insert is positioned in the well. The well plate can include an actuator configured to stretch the deformable membrane by a target amount of strain.
