Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include, a sensor for detecting radical ion flux. In an embodiment, the sensor comprises a first resistor, where the first resistor comprises a length of wire of a first catalytic composition. In an embodiment, a second resistor is electrically coupled to the first resistor, where the second resistor comprises a length of wire of the first catalytic composition. In an embodiment, the second resistor is coated with a non-catalytic material.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include a method for determining a temperature error of a pyrometer. In an embodiment, the method comprises measuring a first signal with a first sensor of the pyrometer and measuring a second signal with a second sensor of the pyrometer. In an embodiment, the method further comprises determining a reflectivity of a reflector plate from the first signal and the second signal, and determining the temperature error using the reflectivity.

Abstract: A system includes a memory, a prediction engine, and an offer engine. The memory stores a plurality of salaries and an average salary for each age group. The prediction engine determines that a first user is of a first age that belongs in a first age group and predicts, based on the salaries for the users in a second age group different from the first age group, a percentage of the average salary for the second age group that the first user will make at a second age greater than the first age. The prediction engine also determines a probability that the first user will retire at the second age based on the predicted percentage. The offer engine determines an amount of money that will increase the determined probability above a threshold and displays the amount of money, the determined probability, and the predicted percentage.

Abstract: A transistor device comprises a base structure and a superlattice of conducting channels overlying the base structure. The superlattice of conducting channels includes source and drain access regions spaced-apart from each other, a ledge between and spaced-apart from the source and drain access regions, and source-side alternating multichannel ridges and trenches that extend from the source access region to the ledge, each ridge having a topside and opposing sidewalls that each extend from the ledge to the source access region. The transistor device includes gate metal that covers each ridge continuously from the ledge to the source access region, such that the gate metal completely covers the topside of the ridge and edges of the conducting channels that intersect the sidewalls of the ridge.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for correcting defects, such as rounded corners and line end shortening, in patterns formed via lithography are provided. Such defects are compensated for “post-rasterization” by manipulating the grayscale values of pixel maps.
