Abstract: A method for forming a memory device that includes providing a free layer of an alloy of cobalt (Co), iron (Fe) and boron (B) overlying a reference layer; and forming metal layer comprising a boron (B) sink composition atop the free layer. Boron (B) may be diffused from the free layer to the metal layer comprising the boron sink composition. At least a portion of the metal layer including the boron (B) sink composition is removed. A metal oxide is formed atop the free layer. The free layer may be a crystalline cobalt and iron alloy. An interface between the metal oxide and free layer can provide perpendicular magnetic anisotropy character.

Abstract: A system includes an electric submersible pump (ESP) configured for pumping fluid through a flow path. An autonomous inflow control device (AICD) is included in fluid communication with the flow path to separate one of gas or liquid out of the flow path. A method includes producing liquid from a wellbore using an electric submersible pump (ESP) in the wellbore. The method includes bypassing gas from a headspace the wellbore using an autonomous inflow control device (AICD) to prevent gas locking the ESP.

Abstract: A physical vapor deposition (PVD) target that includes a body composed of material that is reactive with an oxygen containing atmosphere; and a non-reactive cap layer encapsulating at least a sputter surface of the body. The non-reactive cap layer is a barrier obstructing the diffusion of oxygen containing species to the body of the PVD target.

Abstract: A deposition tool includes a vacuum chamber and a physical vapor deposition module including a target source in the vacuum chamber. The target source includes a target material for depositing on a workpiece. An evaporator module is independent of the physical vapor deposition module and is mounted within an enclosure in the vacuum chamber. A gate is configured to selectively open the enclosure to permit evaporation of a coating element to coat the target source in the physical vapor deposition module.

Abstract: A scanning apparatus, is used to effect multiple images of a tumor in which a contrast agent has been localized as a detectable marker over a selected time to map the change in the imaged marker. The rate of change in the imaged marker and/or contrast intensity of the dyed tissues is used to assess tumor aggressiveness and as an early predictor of response to cancer therapy. In particular, following the marking of tumor or cancerous tissues by the initial localization of an imageable contrast agent, the rate of change in the volume and/or area of the imaged marker is used to provide an indication of tumor interstitial fluid pressure (TIFP).
