Publication number: 20230134400Abstract: A component management server computer (“server”) and processing methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, the server is programmed to continuously receive input data regarding what is happening in the physical room from one or more input devices. The server is programmed to then detect an utterance of a spoken word from the input data and generate one or more sound metrics based on the input data. Based on the sound metrics as applied to certain criteria, the server is programmed to activate a component, such as an input device, variable, software system, or output device, and cause one or more output devices to execute an action that alerts a user of the activated component. The server can also be programmed to turn on, off, up, or down any of the components based on the activated component.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Mohammad Niknazar, Aditya Vempaty, Robert Smith, Amol Nayate, Javier Villafana, Ravindranath Kokku, Shom Ponoth, Sharad Sundararajan, Satya Nitta

Patent number: 10236354Abstract: A three dimensional monolithic LDMOS transistor implements a drain structure vertically disposed above a level of the structure that includes a drain connection of the transistor. Displacing the drain structure vertically, out of the plane or level of the gate and source I drain connections, creates a three dimensional structure for the transistor. One result is that the transistor consumes far less lateral area on the substrate. The reduction in lateral area in turn provides benefits such as allowing transistors to be more densely arranged on the substrate and allowing additional devices of other types to be formed on the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2017Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: AVAGO TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL SALES PTE.

Patent number: 10134631Abstract: A size-filtered metal interconnect structure allows formation of metal structures having different compositions. Trenches having different widths are formed in a dielectric material layer. A blocking material layer is conformally deposited to completely fill trenches having a width less than a threshold width. An isotropic etch is performed to remove the blocking material layer in wide trenches, i.e., trenches having a width greater than the threshold width, while narrow trenches, i.e., trenches having a width less than the threshold width, remain plugged with remaining portions of the blocking material layer. The wide trenches are filled and planarized with a first metal to form first metal structures having a width greater than the critical width. The remaining portions of the blocking material layer are removed to form cavities, which are filled with a second metal to form second metal structures having a width less than the critical width.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David V.
