  • Publication number: 20240136192
    Abstract: Provided herein are low resistance metallization stack structures for 3D-NAND applications and related methods of fabrication. In some embodiments, thin metal oxynitride nucleation layers are deposited on dielectric material followed by deposition of a pure metal conductor using process conditions that increase non-molybdenum component element content at the oxynitride-dielectric interface. Certain embodiments of the methods described below convert less than all of the metal oxynitride nucleation layer to a pure metal layer, further lowering the resistivity.

  • Patent number: 11929898
    Abstract: Techniques for monitoring video conferencing quality-of-service in autonomous systems are disclosed. In an example method, a video conference provider establishes a video conference including a plurality of client devices, in which each client device is connected to an autonomous system of a plurality of autonomous systems. The video conference includes a first client device connected to a first autonomous system administered by a communication service provider (CSP). The video conference provider receives packets from the first client device and determines, from the packets, video conference information including telemetry about the video conference, the first autonomous system traversed by the packets, and the associated CSP. The video conference provider determines one or more metrics about performance of the video conference in the first autonomous system based on the video conference information and outputs the metrics in real-time.

  • Publication number: 20240073261
    Abstract: A method for establishing at least three-way conversation between a primary party, secondary parties, and one or more brand agents within an SDN is provided. The method includes initiating a two-way communication channel between a first communication endpoint associated with the primary party and a second communication endpoint assigned to the one or more brand agents. The method then proceeds with receiving a selection of one or more secondary parties from a database. The method includes synthesizing a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for a secondary party of the one or more secondary parties to join the two-way communication channel and providing the URL to a third communication endpoint associated with the secondary party. The method includes initiating, upon detecting that the secondary party clicked the URL, the at least three-way conversation between the primary party, the secondary party, and the one or more brand agents via the two-way communication channel.

  • Publication number: 20240056494
    Abstract: A machine transmits a message to one or more client devices indicated in a destination tag of the message to configure the one or more client devices to display the message. The machine determines that a client device of the one or more client devices is not connected to a local network that includes a computing node configured to create a message pipe. The machine creates the message pipe from a server to the client device upon the client device joining a video conference in response to determining that the client device is not connected to the local network. The message pipe transmits the message to the client device upon a latter of the client device joining the video conference or accessing the message at the server.
