Publication number: 20260195146Abstract: An approach is provided for facilitating user access to an obscured online cancellation option. By using natural language processing (NLP) and learned patterns of order systems that employ hostile architecture designs, it is determined that cancellation option(s) that cancel order(s) are obscured by hostile architecture design(s) employed by online platform(s). The order(s) specify service(s) ordered by a user. Cancellation selection(s) are presented in a user interface to provide the user with a direct access to an activation of the cancellation option(s). The direct access provides a user experience that avoids the hostile architecture design(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2025Publication date: July 9, 2026Inventors: Heather Nicole Polgrean, Jessica Nahulan, John S.

Publication number: 20120007073Abstract: Some embodiments include methods for quality testing material removal procedures. A test structure is formed to contain a pair of electrically conductive segments. The segments are the same relative to a detectable property as long as they are electrically connected, but becoming different relative to such property if they are disconnected from one another. A material is formed over the test structure, and across a region of a semiconductor substrate proximate to the test structure. The material is subjected to a procedure which removes at least some of it, and which fabricates a structure of an integrated circuit construction in the region proximate to the test structure. After the procedure, it is determined if the segments are the same relative to the detectable property.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2010Publication date: January 12, 2012Inventors: Anjum Mehta, Shawn Lyonsmith, Rajesh Kamana, Tyler Hansen, Amit Gupta, Suresh Ramakrishnan
