International Classification:

B05D 306

US Classification:

427539, 427558, 427559, 427226, 42725532, 42725536

Abstract:

Complex mixed metal containing thin films can be deposited by CVD from liquid mixtures of metal complexes without solvent by direct liquid injection and by other precursor dispersing method such as aerosol delivery with subsequent annealing to improve electrical properties of the deposited films. This process has potential for commercial success in microelectronics device fabrication of dielectrics, ferroelectrics, barrier metals/electrodes, superconductors, catalysts, and protective coatings. Application of this process, particularly the CVD of ZrSnTiOx (zirconium tin titanate, or ZTT) and HfSnTiOx (hafnium tin titanate, or HTT) thin films has been studied successfully.

International Classification:

H01L 2976

US Classification:

257288, 257221, 257287, 257296, 257355, 257359, 257404

Abstract:

The specification describes silicon MOS devices with gate dielectrics having the composition Ta Al O , where x is 0. 03-0. 7 and y is 1. 5-3, Ta Si O , where x is 0. 05-0. 15, and y is 1. 5-3, and Ta Al Si O , where 0. 7 x+z 0. 05, z0. 15 and y is 1. 5-3. By comparison with the standard SiO gate dielectric material, these materials provide improved dielectric properties and also remain essentially amorphous to high temperatures. This retards formation of SiO interfacial layers which otherwise dominate the gate dielectric properties and reduce the overall effectiveness of using a high dielectric material.

Appl. No.:

10/021815

Inventors:

Robert Fleming - Concord MA, US
Thomas Moreau - Candia NH, US

International Classification:

G06F015/173

US Classification:

709/226000

Abstract:

The invention includes a system and a method for efficiently bounding the life of an event subscription to the availability of an object in a common object server environment. In particular, the invention provides a method for defining a quality of service for a subscription that mandates an automatic cancellation of the subscription when the object subscriber becomes unreachable. In one embodiment this quality of service may be specified as persistent or transient. The administrator can specify administrative limits associated with each or all subscription that determine the frequency with which checks are made. When a subscription with a transient quality of service is created, the event system periodically determines whether the object is reachable or not. If the object is reachable then it does nothing, but if the object is unreachable it may cancel the subscription.

US Classification:

704239, 704249, 704E15004, 704E15019

Abstract:

In some embodiments, the recognition results produced by a speech processing system (which may include two or more recognition results, including a top recognition result and one or more alternative recognition results) based on an analysis of a speech input, are evaluated for indications of potential significant errors. In some embodiments, the recognition results may be evaluated to determine whether a meaning of any of the alternative recognition results differs from a meaning of the top recognition result in a manner that is significant for a domain, such as the medical domain. In some embodiments, words and/or phrases that may be confused by an ASR system may be determined and associated in sets of words and/or phrases. Words and/or phrases that may be determined include those that change a meaning of a phrase or sentence when included in the phrase/sentence.

US Classification:

704257, 704231, 704E15018, 704E15001

Abstract:

In some embodiments, recognition results produced by a speech processing system (which may include two or more recognition results, including a top recognition result and one or more alternative recognition results) based on an analysis of a speech input, are evaluated for indications of potential errors. In some embodiments, the indications of potential errors may include discrepancies between recognition results that are meaningful for a domain, such as medically-meaningful discrepancies. The evaluation of the recognition results may be carried out using any suitable criteria, including one or more criteria that differ from criteria used by an ASR system in determining the top recognition result and the alternative recognition results from the speech input. In some embodiments, a recognition result may additionally or alternatively be processed to determine whether the recognition result includes a word or phrase that is unlikely to appear in a domain to which speech input relates.
