Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to form semiconductor devices having epitaxial growth laterally extending between inner spacer structures to mitigate issues caused by the inner spacer structures either being too thick or too thin. A directional etch is performed along the side of a multilayer fin to create a relatively narrow opening for a source or drain region to increase the usable fin space for forming the inner spacer structures. After the inner spacer structures are formed around ends of the semiconductor layers within the fin, the exposed ends of the semiconductor layers are laterally recessed inwards from the outermost sidewalls of the inner spacer structures. Accordingly, the epitaxial source or drain region is grown from the recessed semiconductor ends and thus fills in the recessed regions between the spacer structures.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of printed circuit heat exchangers, and in particular, to a modular square-circular composite channel printed circuit heat exchanger. The modular square-circular composite channel printed circuit heat exchanger comprises a shell, wherein the shell is divided into an inlet diverter section, a first parallel heat exchange section, a core heat exchange section, a second parallel heat exchange section, and an outlet combiner section from left to right, a plurality of square fin channels and circular micro-channels are uniformly arranged in the shell along a length direction of the shell. According to the present invention, a ratio of an average thermal resistance of a hot side to an average thermal resistance of a cold side is close to 1, which ensures the heat exchange efficiency while taking into the account structure safety and prevents the local over-temperature.

Abstract: Features described herein generally relate to learning and recognizing object-centered routines. Particularly, object-centered routines can be learned and recognized by collecting data corresponding to a user. The data can include information representing interactions by the user with respect to objects in an environment. The routine can be learned by presenting a visual graph to the user. The user can define nodes associating an interaction with an object, specify a relationship between nodes, and arrange the nodes into segments. The visual graph can be stored, and a routine can be recognized based on the visual graph.

Abstract: Methods for generating patterned nanoparticle assemblies in thin films of supramolecular nanocomposites are provided that allow control over microdomain morphology, periodicity, and orientation by tuning the assembly kinetics and pathways of the system. Directed self-assembly (DSA) of block copolymers (BCPs) with nanoparticles formed on lithographically-patterned templates produce patterned supramolecular nanocomposite films and patterns of nanoparticles. DSA may be used to guide the formation of concentric rings with radii spanning approximately 150 nm to 1150 nm and ring widths spanning about 30 nm to 60 nm, for example. When plasmonic nanoparticles are used, ring nanodevice arrays can be fabricated in one step, and the completed devices produce high-quality orbital angular momentum (OAM).
