Abstract: The virtual queue system includes a virtual queue controller comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the processor and is configured to receive a request, the request being associated with an individual guest, for a position in a virtual queue of an attraction, assign the individual guest to the position in the virtual queue in response to the request, receive ride schedule data for the attraction comprising information about a change in status of individual rides of the attraction, and determine a wait time for the individual guest for the attraction based at least on the position of the individual guest in the virtual queue, the ride schedule data, and historical guest throughput at the attraction. The virtual queue system is further configured to output a signal to a guest-associated device indicating the wait time for the attraction.

Abstract: Hysteretic current-voltage mediated void-free superconformal and bottom-up filling of recessed features includes providing an electrodeposition composition with a hysteretic cyclic voltammogram; providing the substrate controlling applied electric potential; autonomously reducing the deposition potential of the recess; bifurcating the recess; forming a transition zone and moving the transition zone through the metal deposition; and reducing metal ions to form metal; and forming a resistance enhanced superconformal filling in the recess from the metal, such that forming the resistance enhanced superconformal filling occurs in consequence of autonomously reducing the deposition potential of the recess.

Abstract: A metallic grating is formed to include a substrate; a plurality of high aspect ratio trenches disposed in the substrate such that the high aspect ratio trenches are spaced apart from one another by a field surface of the substrate; a metallic superconformal filling formed and disposed in the high aspect ratio trenches; and a grating including a spatial arrangement of the high aspect ratio trenches that are filled with the metallic superconformal filling such that the metallic superconformal filling is void-free, and the high aspect ratio trenches are bottom-up filled with the metallic superconformal filling, wherein a height of the metallic superconformal filling is less than or equal to the height of the high aspect ratio trenches.
