Abstract: A vehicle platoon intersection decision-making system includes multiple vehicles. When executing the intersection decision-making process, the captain vehicle determines whether the platoon can pass through the intersection at the current speed command; if yes, the captain vehicle directs each vehicle to maintain travelling at the current speed command to pass through the intersection; if not, the captain vehicle generates a first optimized speed control information through a first speed decision-making process, making the platoon decelerate before reaching the intersection and begin to accelerate at an acceleration critical time point such that the platoon passes through the intersection. When the platoon passes through the intersection at the current speed command, no energy for accelerating or decelerating is wasted.

Abstract: A device includes a metal-silicide region formed in a semiconductor material in a contact opening. A concentration of a material, including chlorine, fluorine, or a combination thereof is in the metal-silicide region near an uppermost surface of the metal-silicide region. The presence of chlorine or fluorine results from a physical bombarding of the chlorine or fluorine in the contact opening. As a result of the physical bombard, the opening becomes wider at the bottom of the opening and the sidewalls of the opening are thinned. A capping layer is over the metal-silicide region and over sidewalls of a contact plug opening. A contact plug is formed over the capping layer, filling the contact plug opening. Before the contact plug is formed, a silicidation occurs to form the metal-silicide and the metal-silicide is wider than the bottom of the opening.

Abstract: Techniques for data storage involve selecting a target Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) from a plurality of RAIDs in a storage resource pool. Such techniques further involve determining a local neighbor matrix of the target RAID based on the target RAID, wherein the local neighbor matrix indicates distribution of a plurality of storage extents of a plurality of RAID extents of the target RAID on the storage resource pool. Such techniques further involve performing a resource reallocating operation on the storage resource pool based on the local neighbor matrix. Accordingly, a local neighbor matrix can be calculated at the granularity of an individual RAID, and the local neighbor matrix can be applied to balance a local neighboring relationship, so as to ensure overall balance of the neighbor matrix of the entire storage resource pool and improve IO performance.
