International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382124

Abstract:

A method and system for biometric identification utilizes structured light (e. g. , fine grid) that is projected to the target objects (fingers and palm). The image with structured light on the object contours can give 3D information of the objects with resolution to satisfy NIST fingerprint standard. In embodiments, the structured light can be of different color, to reduce the burden of the software processing. To enhance the capture speed, a model with 2D image on “smooth” 3D surface can be used. In this “2. 5-D” case, the finest feature of the structured light can be as big as millimeter size. Although grid-structured light can satisfy current requirement of fingerprint and palm print capture standards, in other embodiments, a customized structure based on the initial scan result can give optimal result on the 3D data. This may be useful when higher resolution is desired.

International Classification:

H01L 21/326
H01L 21/00

US Classification:

438466, 438 22, 438 24

Abstract:

A negative dielectric is induced by the application of a dc bias-electric field in aggregates of oxide nano-particles whose surfaces have been specially treated. The magnitude of the dielectric constant and the frequency where the negative dielectric constant occurs can be adjusted. Such material systems have profound implications in novel devices as well as in science development, e. g. unusual wave propagation, secured communication and ultra-high temperature superconductivity.

US Classification:

370352, 370401

Abstract:

A method, apparatus and computer program product for performing dynamic Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) endpoint mapping is presented. At least one on net endpoint of a VOIP call is determined. An endpoint data structure is used to store, for each on net endpoint of the call, a key and at least one of an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the end point, a phone number associated with the endpoint, and/or a display name associated with the endpoint. The endpoint data structure is used to correlate call legs across a network. Heuristics of the VOIP call are determined, the heuristics including information relating to the main source call leg and the main destination call leg.

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus, and systems for depositing tungsten having tailored stress levels are provided. According to various embodiments, the methods involve depositing high stress or low stress tungsten films. In certain embodiments depositing high stress tungsten involves a multi-stage chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process including a low temperature deposition followed by a high temperature deposition. In certain embodiments depositing low stress tungsten involves a CVD process using a relatively low tungsten precursor flow. Also provided are new classes of high and low stress tungsten films, which may also have low resistivity and/or high reflectivity. Also provided are integration methods involving depositing high or low stress tungsten, for example as contacts and/or metal gates, and semiconductor devices incorporating the tungsten films.
