International Classification:

H01L 21/8238

US Classification:

438199, 257369

Abstract:

A gate stack for an NMOS transistor in an IC to induce tensile stress in the NMOS channel is disclosed. The gate stack includes a first layer of undoped polysilicon, a second layer of n-type polysilicon to establish a desired work function in the gate, layer of compressively stressed metal, and a third layer of polysilicon to provide a silicon surface for subsequent formation of metal silicide. Candidates for the compressively stressed metal are TiN, TaN, W, and Mo. In a CMOS IC, the n-type polysilicon layer and metal layer are patterned in NMOS transistor areas, while the first polysilicon layer and third polysilicon layer are patterned in both NMOS and PMOS transistor areas. Polysilicon CMP may be used to reduce topography between the NMOS and PMOS gate stacks to facilitate gate pattern photolithography.

International Classification:

G01R 31/08

US Classification:

370236

Abstract:

The invention includes a method and apparatus adapted for controlling congestion in a Radio Access Network (RAN). In one embodiment, a method includes monitoring packets received at a first network element of the RAN for an indication of congestion, where the packets are associated with a quality-of-service class, and, in response to detecting an indication of congestion in at least one of the received packets, signaling congestion status information from the first network element of the RAN toward a second network element of the RAN that is adapted for applying congestion control for the quality-of-service class. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at a first network element of the RAN, from a second network element of the RAN, congestion status signaling indicative of a congestion condition associated with a quality-of-service class, and applying congestion control for the quality-of-service class in response to receiving the congestion status signaling indicative of the congestion condition.

Abstract:

An assembly determines an analyte concentration in a sample of body fluid. The assembly includes a test sensor having a fluid-receiving area for receiving a sample of body fluid, where the fluid-receiving area contains a reagent that produces a measurable reaction with an analyte in the sample. The assembly also includes a meter having a port or opening configured to receive the test sensor; a measurement system configured to determine a measurement of the reaction between the reagent and the analyte; and a temperature-measuring system configured to determine a measurement of the test-sensor temperature when the test sensor is received into the opening. The meter determines a concentration of the analyte in the sample according to the measurement of the reaction and the measurement of the test-sensor temperature.

Abstract:

A test sensor includes a body, a first conductive trace, a second conductive trace, and a third conductive trace. The body includes a first region that has a fluid-receiving area, a second region separate from the first region, and a first temperature sensing interface disposed at or adjacent to the fluid-receiving area. The fluid-receiving area receives a sample. The first trace is disposed on the body, and at least a portion of the first trace is disposed in the first region. The second and third traces are disposed on the body. The third trace extends from the first to the second regions. The third trace is connected to the first trace at the first temperature sensing interface. The third trace includes a different material than the first trace. A first thermocouple is formed at the first temperature sensing interface. The thermocouple provides temperature data to determine an analyte concentration.

US Classification:

702130, 3406362, 3405731, 340603

Abstract:

A system for a meter configured to determine an analyte concentration of a fluid sample includes a housing and a temperature sensor disposed within the housing. The system also includes a processor configured to receive temperature data from the temperature sensor upon the meter entering one of a charge state and a discharge state. The processor is further configured to predict a temperature value that approximates the ambient temperature outside of the housing. The predicted temperature value is based on historical temperature data received from the temperature sensor such that the predicted temperature value remains constant if a recently received temperature value remains within predetermined upper and lower temperature thresholds and the recently received temperature value exceeds the at least one predicted temperature value.
