  • Publication number: 20230344399
    Abstract: A method of manufacture for an acoustic resonator or filter device. In an example, the present method can include forming metal electrodes with different geometric areas and profile shapes coupled to a piezoelectric layer overlying a substrate. These metal electrodes can also be formed within cavities of the piezoelectric layer or the substrate with varying geometric areas. Combined with specific dimensional ratios and ion implantations, such techniques can increase device performance metrics. In an example, the present method can include forming various types of perimeter structures surrounding the metal electrodes, which can be on top or bottom of the piezoelectric layer. These perimeter structures can use various combinations of modifications to shape, material, and continuity. These perimeter structures can also be combined with sandbar structures, piezoelectric layer cavities, the geometric variations previously discussed to improve device performance metrics.

  • Publication number: 20230112046
    Abstract: A resonator circuit device. The present invention provides for improved resonator shapes using egg-shaped, partial egg-shaped, and asymmetrical partial egg-shaped resonator structures. These resonator shapes are configured to give less spurious mode/noise below the resonant frequency (Fs) than rectangular, circular, and elliptical resonator shapes. These improved resonator shapes also provide filter layout flexibility, which allows for more compact resonator devices compared to resonator devices using conventionally shaped resonators.

    Abstract: Systems and apparatuses for generating object dimension outputs and predicted object outputs are provided. The system may collect an image from a mobile device. The system may analyze the image to determine whether it contains one or more standardized reference objects. Based on analysis of the image and the one or more standardized reference objects, the system may determine an object dimension output. The system may also determine a predicted object output that includes additional objects predicted to be in a room corresponding to the image. Using object dimension outputs and the predicted object output, the system may determine an estimated repair cost.

  • Publication number: 20220088059
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention are directed to methods of treating cancer using a combination of spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) and a checkpoint inhibitor. The SNA molecule comprises a core oligonucleotide shell of CpG oligonucleotides positioned on the exterior of this core. The SNA is administered at a fixed dose of 2mg to a solid tumour or tumour lesion, and is administered within 24 hours of the checkpoint inhibitor administration. The SNA can also be administered at a dose of 700 mg-900 mg every 2 weeks. The SNA can also be a CpG linked via a spacer to the exterior surface of a liposome core of 40 nm or less diameter.
