  • Publication number: 20250138624
    Abstract: Methods and systems involving automotive computing architectures with phased wake sequences and power control are disclosed herein. A disclosed automotive computing system includes at least three subsystems: a first subsystem that is in an always-on power domain, a second subsystem that is powered on from a sleep state in response to an event detected by the first subsystem, and a third subsystem that is powered on, from an off state, after the first subsystem and the second subsystem are powered on. The subsystems of the architecture can be activated in different phases based on a given scenario in which the automotive computing architecture is operating. The same subsystem can occupy a different phase in different scenarios. The phased wake sequences may conserve power without sacrificing utility and may be optimized for different scenarios and triggering events.

  • Publication number: 20250141729
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to automotive computing architectures and more specifically to specialized discrete scale out computational elements that enhance the performance of an automotive computing architecture in terms of efficient networking and sensor data processing. A disclosed automotive computing architecture includes a set of zones, a zonal network, a sensor in a first zone, and an actuator in a second zone. A discrete computational element, in the first zone, receives sensor data from the sensor according to a legacy protocol, and is programmed to process the sensor data to produce a command therefrom and packages the command in the legacy protocol with an Ethernet packet. A second discrete computational element, in a second zone, is coupled to the actuator and is programmed to receive the Ethernet packet with the command, unpack the command into the legacy protocol, and provide the command in the legacy protocol to the actuator.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides resist rinse solutions and corresponding lithography techniques that achieve high pattern structural integrity for advanced technology nodes. An example lithography method includes forming a resist layer over a workpiece, exposing the resist layer to radiation, developing the exposed resist layer using a developer that removes an unexposed portion of the exposed resist layer, thereby forming a patterned resist layer, and rinsing the patterned resist layer using a rinse solution. The developer is an organic solution, and the rinse solution includes water.

  • Publication number: 20250123562
    Abstract: A photoresist composition comprises an organic polymer and a floatable polymer. The floatable polymer has a lower surface energy than the organic polymer. Upon curing, the floatable polymer forms a surface layer above the photoresist layer formed by the organic polymer. The presence of the surface layer reduces optical flare and chemical flare, thus improving the critical dimension of the features formed in a material layer below the photoresist layer.

  • Patent number: 12252898
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a prefabricated infilled panel-frame structure capable of accommodating seismic-loading and seismic energy dissipation, and a construction method thereof, including a frame body, a prefabricated infilled panel group, a panel connector, and a disc spring assembly. During an earthquake, the present invention slides to dissipate energy only after the maximum starting sliding force is exceeded, thus providing the structure with a relatively high lateral stiffness prior to sliding. After an earthquake, the disc spring assembly of the present invention may provide a certain restoring force due to being compressed so as to reduce the residual displacement. Further, the present invention achieves the bidirectional deformation cooperation of the prefabricated infilled panel under earthquakes, so that the infilled panel may still achieve the function of seismic energy dissipation under the coupling action of in-plane and out-of-plane loads.
