Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for efficient performance of error rate detection procedures in a memory system are described. A memory system may determine whether a condition for performing an error rate detection procedure has been satisfied. Based on determining that the condition has been satisfied, the memory system may add a request for the error rate detection procedure to a queue. The memory system may then perform the error rate detection procedure indicated by the request in the queue based on determining that access activity from a host system has lapsed for a threshold duration.

The insulation layer is formed on the rare earth oxide layer in the first region, the BOX and the fin pattern in the second region.

Abstract: Systems and methods for recommending and implementing network documents for users to offer items in a marketplace may be provided. A system can obtain user data that includes an item offered by a user in a first electronic marketplace. For example, the system can identify and catalog items offered by a particular user. The system can identify a second electronic marketplace for the user to offer the item. The system can determine implementation information for the second electronic marketplace. The system can generate a network document for the at least one item that is configured to be presented in the second electronic marketplace based at least in part on the implementation information.

Abstract: Techniques for generation of user interfaces include accessing data indicative of a plurality of values and including a subset of the values in a user interface. The subset may be selected based on user input or the characteristics of the device for which the user interface is generated. Each user interface is associated with a device characteristic, such as the size or shape of a display area or the presence of an audio output device, and the characteristics of the user interface may be determined based in part on the device characteristics. When a request from a user device is received, correspondence between the device characteristics of the user device and the device characteristics associated with the user interfaces is used to determine which interface to provide to the user device. Changes to values in a first user interface are included in other user interfaces accessed using other devices.

Abstract: Methods for contacting a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor, as well as structures including a MIM capacitor. A dielectric layer is formed on an electrode of a metal-insulator-metal capacitor. A via is formed that extends vertically through the dielectric layer to the electrode. A conductive plug is formed in the via that contacts the electrode. The dielectric layer is comprised of a polymer, such as polyimide.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for displaying content. A display area includes multiple information regions presenting content. Visual characteristics associated with the information regions adjust according to values corresponding to the to the information regions. For example, the sizes or positions of the information regions may adjust according to the values.

Abstract: An inductor/transformer device is disclosed including a lower inductor/transformer structure including a first inner core material and a first outer cap layer, an upper inductor/transformer structure positioned above and vertically spaced apart from the lower inductor/transformer structure, the upper inductor/transformer structure including a second inner core material and a second outer cap layer, wherein the lower surface area of the upper inductor/transformer structure is different than the upper surface area of the lower inductor/transformer structure, and an insulating material positioned between the upper surface of the lower inductor/transformer structure and the lower surface of the upper inductor/transformer structure.

Abstract: Methods for forming an interconnect structure using a carbon-rich polymeric layer and the resulting devices are disclosed. Embodiments may include forming a carbon-rich polymeric layer above a semiconductor element, forming a silicon oxide material layer above the carbon-rich polymeric layer, and forming an interconnect through the silicon oxide material layer and the carbon-rich polymeric layer.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for handling large collections of items in a user interface. A collection of items in a data store associated with a request for a content page is identified. A content page is generated that includes a number of items in the content page, where the number of items in the content page can be less than a total number of items in the collection. The content page also includes a select-all element. The content page is also configured to initiate a subsequent request to with an argument corresponding to activation of the select-all element as well as potentially an exclusion list corresponding to deselected items.
