Abstract: A method for producing a substantially spherical metal powder is described. A particulate source metal includes a primary particulate and has an average starting particle size. The particulate source metal is optionally ball milled and mixed with a binder in a solvent to form a slurry. The slurry is granulated to form substantially spherical granules, wherein each granule comprises an agglomeration of particulate source metal in the binder. The granules are debinded at a debinding temperature to remove the binder from the granules forming debinded granules. The debinded granules are at least partially sintered at a sintering temperature such that particles within each granule fuse together to form partially or fully sintered solid granules. The granules can then be optionally recovered to form a substantially spherical metal powder.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to methods of forming sub-10 nm node FinFETs. Various processing steps are performed on a substrate to provide a trench defining a mandrel structure. Sidewalls of the mandrel structure and a bottom surface of the trench are oxidized and subsequently etched to reduce a width of the mandrel structure. The oxidation and etching of the mandrel structure may be repeated until a desired width of the mandrel structure is achieved. A semiconducting material is subsequently deposited on a regrowth region of the mandrel structure to form a fin structure. The oxidizing and etching the mandrel structure provides a method for forming the fin structure which can achieve sub-10 nm node dimensions and provide increasingly smaller FinFETs.

Abstract: This invention publishes a fault diagnosis and location system for transformer core looseness, consists of vibration sensors, data collection and computer. It is of power transformer fault intelligent diagnosis technology technical field. Fault diagnosis and location method uses three vibration sensors positioned on the top of transformer tank, to obtain vibration signal, uses signal processing to analyze the signal, and obtains fault characteristics of the transformer core looseness.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure provide a method and a device for communicating paging area information. A radio access network (RAN) side device can determine a smaller area for group paging by using information of a group paging area provided by a services capability server (SCS) and cell coverage information. Therefore, when users are managed in groups, paging areas determined can be more accurate, and paging efficiency can be increased, waste of resources resulted from performing group paging in a too-large paging area can be avoided. The mechanism can prevent random access of a large number of users who have received the group paging from overloading the RAN and from impacting conventional human-to-human (H2H) users.
