    Abstract: A method for forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure using two individual STI trench etching processes is provided. A first STI etching process forms first trenches with one or more sizes in rows along a first dimension in a silicon substrate. A first dielectric is filled in the first trenches following a first thermal oxidation forming a first liner oxide surrounding the first trenches. A second STI trench etching process forms second trenches with one or more sizes in a second dimension to define active regions separated from each other by the first trenches filled with the first dielectric material and second trenches. A second dielectric is filled in the second trenches following a second thermal oxidation forming a second liner oxide surrounding the second trenches. Active region encroachment caused by the first and second thermal oxidation is reduced by doing the two individual STI trench etching processes.

    Abstract: Techniques for conducting transaction(s) between a merchant and customer(s) via a multi-device point-of-sale (POS) system is described. The multi-device POS system may include a merchant-facing device and a plurality of customer-facing devices. A merchant application executing on the merchant-facing device may determine an attribute of a customer based on data received during a pending transaction. The merchant application may determine accommodation capabilities of individual customer-facing devices of the plurality of customer-facing devices. The merchant application may select a customer-facing device for the customer to use in the transaction based on the attribute of the customer and the accommodation capabilities of the individual customer-facing devices. The merchant application may generate a user interface directing the customer to the selected customer-facing device.

  • Publication number: 20230060417
    Abstract: The present specification relates to image capture. More specifically, it relates to selective image capture for sensor carrying devices or floats deployed, for example, on the open sea. In one form, data is generated on the sensor carrying devices or floats by an on-board Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and is used to automatically predict the wave motion of the sea. These predictions are then used to determine an acceptable set of motion parameters that are used to trigger the on-board camera(s). The camera(s) then capture images. One consideration is that images captured at or near the peak of a wave crest with minimal pitch and roll will contain fewer obstructions (such as other waves). Such images provide a view further into the horizon to, for example, monitor maritime sea traffic and other phenomenon. Therefore, the likelihood of capturing interesting objects such as ships, boats, garbage, birds, . . . etc. is increased.
