Abstract: Method includes providing a substrate layer, depositing a first layer along an exposed side of the substrate layer, and depositing a second layer along an exposed side of the first layer such that the first layer is disposed between the substrate layer and the second layer. One of the first or second layers is a backing layer and the other is a conductive layer. The first and second layers form a stripping sheet that is configured to strip electrons from charged particles passing through the stripping sheet. The method also includes removing at least a portion of the substrate layer.

Abstract: Skill determination rules may be defined and applied to work items to identify the relevant skills associated with the work item. A skill determination rule definition graphical user interface (GUI) may be utilized to received date defining one or more skill determination rules. Once skill determination rules are defined, upon receipt of a work item, the relevant skill determination rules may be identified and applied to identify relevant skills associated with the work item. An agent possessing the identified skills may be identified and the work item added to the selected agent's queue.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a multi-layer stack and photolithography methods and systems that employ such a stack. The disclosed multi-layer stacks include a photoresist layer on an underlayer. The photoresist layer and underlayer are made of different materials, which are selected so that valence and conduction band offsets between the underlayer and photoresist layer create an effective electric field (i.e., so that the stack is “self-biased”). When areas of the photoresist layer are exposed to radiation during photolithography and the radiation passes through photoresist layer and excites electrons in the underlayer, this effective electric field facilitates movement of the radiation-excited electrons from the underlayer into the radiation-exposed areas of the photoresist layer in a direction normal to the interface between the underlayer and the photoresist layer.

The absorber layer can include a first region and a second region. Each of the first region of the absorber layer and the second region of the absorber layer can include a compound comprising cadmium, selenium, and tellurium. An atomic concentration of selenium can vary across the absorber layer. The first region of the absorber layer can have a thickness between 100 nanometers to 3000 nanometers. The second region of the absorber layer can have a thickness between 100 nanometers to 3000 nanometers. A ratio of an average atomic concentration of selenium in the first region of the absorber layer to an average atomic concentration of selenium in the second region of the absorber layer can be greater than 10.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for modifying metadata associated with database objects obtained from providers, such as cloud providers, are disclosed. Modifying metadata associated with database objects obtained from cloud providers may include identifying resources in a computer network that originate from providers, such as cloud providers that do not have associated metadata. A user interface that includes the resources may be generated, and the resource may receive input to select the resources and a descriptor that may be associated with the resources. The selected resources may then be associated, in a configuration management dataset, with metadata derived from the selected descriptor. The metadata may indicate an association of the selected resources to a parameter.

Abstract: In a vehicle-to-vehicle communication system, an intersection-located road side unit (RSU) having two omni-antennas applies spatial filtering to the antennas' RX signals to recover first and second overlapping basic safety messages (BSMs) concurrently transmitted by two intersection-approaching vehicles that have no direct line of sight (NLOS) between them. The RSU retransmits each BSM for receipt by the other vehicle using either an omnidirectional retransmission technique in which the two messages are sequentially transmitted using an omnidirectional beam-pattern, a directional retransmission technique in which the two messages are sequentially transmitted using directional beam-patterns, or an XOR retransmission technique in which the RSU applies an XOR operation to the two BSMs and transmits the resulting XOR message using an omnidirectional beam-pattern. A receiving vehicle can apply an XOR operation to the XOR message and a local copy of the first BSM message to recover the second BSM message.

Abstract: An example system for advanced routing and assignment of work items includes a computing device within a computational instance disposed within a remote network management platform. The computing device obtains a set of work items. The set of work items includes work items generated from submissions received within a first predefined period or work items that have remained unaddressed for at least a second predefined period. The computing device identifies a first work item based on queue priority rules that organize the work items according to a quantity of time that each work item has remained unaddressed. For the first work item, the computing device identifies available agents capable of addressing work items within a first channel that includes the first work item and assigns the first work item to a particular agent who has not previously rejected the first work item.
