Abstract: Key information is locked within unstructured or semi-structured electronic documents or structured databases. Current user interfaces are either designed for information professionals and require training and high skill levels, or provide access to single structured data sources. Query suggestion technology provides a way that occasional users can get high value from unstructured or semi-structured data or heterogeneous structured data, or a combination of unstructured or semi-structured and structured data. In contrast to search technology, the user obtains structured results, that can be manipulated similar to spreadsheets, or via interactive visualization. Queries suggestions are ranked based on the terms or concepts entered by the user in addition to standard ranking methods such as ranking by frequency of usage.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure involve an apparatus and/or method for conducting simultaneous transition testing of different clock domains of a microprocessor design at different frequencies through a controlled order of clock pulses in each domain. In general, a microelectronic design utilizes test control circuitry associated with each clock domain of the design to conduct simultaneous transition testing of the clock domains. The testing control circuitry associated with each clock domain of the microelectronic design further allows for the testing device to delay testing within a particular clock domain. By delaying the testing within a particular clock domain, the testing of the various clock domains can be synchronized. Through these testing procedures, the amount of time required to perform the ATPG testing of a microelectronic design may be greatly reduced.

A first carrier gas is flowed into a manifold to combine with a plurality of metal organic precursors. The first carrier gas, the metal organic precursors, and a second carrier gas, are flowed through a vaporizer into a chamber of the MOCVD tool, over the substrate. A ratio of a flow rate of the first carrier gas to a flow rate of the metal organic precursors is 250 sccm/milliliter/minute to 500 sccm/milliliter/minute. A ratio of a flow rate of the second carrier gas to a flow rate of the metal organic precursors is 700 sccm/milliliter/minute to 1500 sccm/milliliter/minute. An oxidizing gas is flowed into the chamber over the substrate. The metal organic precursors and the oxidizing gas react to form the ferroelectric layer.

The disclosure discusses area electrodes and arrays of area electrodes. The area electrodes are defined in a metal layer and include an inner and outer diameter. The area electrodes are configured to detect electrical signals generated substantially perpendicular to a surface of the area electrode while rejecting electrical signals generated substantially parallel to the surface of the area electrode.

Abstract: In one example, a computer device includes one or more processors and a camera module coupled to the one or more processors. The camera module is configured to capture visual images. The one or more processors are configured to analyze image data of a visual image for identifying whether the visual image includes a visual feature, and produce a message which includes a visual feature indication and a location indication. The visual feature indication indicates whether the visual image includes the visual feature, and the location indication indicates a location at which the visual image was captured.

Abstract: A rotary vane type actuator includes a vane assembly for converting pressure from a pressurized medium within the actuator into rotational movement. The vane assembly has a rotatable vane and a vane seal for preventing leakage of pressurized medium through or around the vane assembly. A side-plate is attached to the rotatable vane and the side-plate has a limiting protrusion that abuts the vane to maintain a gap between the vane and the side-plate so that the seal in the gap is not extruded from between the vane and side-plate.
