20080200013 | GALLIUM NITRIDE MATERIALS AND METHODS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SAME - Semiconductor materials including a gallium nitride material region and methods associated with such structures are provided. The semiconductor structures include a strain-absorbing layer formed within the structure. The strain-absorbing layer may be formed between the substrate (e.g., a silicon substrate) and an overlying layer. It may be preferable for the strain-absorbing layer to be very thin, have an amorphous structure and be formed of a silicon nitride-based material. The strain-absorbing layer may reduce the number of misfit dislocations formed in the overlying layer (e.g., a nitride-based material layer) which limits formation of other types of defects in other overlying layers (e.g., gallium nitride material region), amongst other advantages. Thus, the presence of the strain-absorbing layer may improve the quality of the gallium nitride material region which can lead to improved device performance. | 08-21-2008 |

The III-nitride material region(s) advantageously have a low dislocation density and, in particular, a low screw dislocation density. In some embodiments, the presence of screw dislocations in the III-nitride material region(s) may be essentially eliminated. The presence of a strain-absorbing layer underlying the III-nitride material region(s) and/or processing conditions can contribute to achieving the low screw dislocation densities. In some embodiments, the III-nitride material region(s) having low dislocation densities include a gallium nitride material region which functions as the active region of the device. The low screw dislocation densities of the active device region (e.g., gallium nitride material region) can lead to improved properties (e.g., electrical and optical) by increasing electron transport, limiting non-radiative recombination, and increasing compositional/growth uniformity, amongst other effects. | 11-25-2010 |

20140022267 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACCELERATING COLLISION RESOLUTION ON A RECONFIGURABLE PROCESSOR - A method and system for accelerating collision resolution of 3D physics engine on a reconfigurable processor allows the collision resolution module to utilize the immense parallelism available in Coarse Grained Array (CGA) of reconfigurable processor based on ADRES. The method of rescheduling and dividing the collision pairs is performed for accelerating the collision resolution. The method obtains the colliding pairs in the original order of processing from the objects that are under simulation. Then the method starts reordering the collision pairs for removing the dependency between the successive collision pairs. The independent collision pairs obtained from the original colliding pairs are grouped together. The dependent collision pairs are extracted and grouped together. The independent collision pairs are processed in CGA mode by utilizing the loop level parallelism, whereas the dependent collision pairs are processed in VLIW mode. | 01-23-2014 |

20140041786 | METHOD OF MAKING EXTENSIBLE WEB LAMINATES - A method of making extensible web laminates comprising a multilayer film and at least one web layer and the use of such extensible web laminates in personal care articles. The method generally includes activating the multilayer film in a first direction by stretching at least a portion of the multilayer film past the elastic deformation limit of the skin layers and recovering the skin layers with the elastomeric core layer to produce a multilayer film that is elastic in the first direction. The activated multilayer film is subsequently stretched beyond the deformation limit of the skin layers in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. At least one web layer is applied to the multilayer film while in the stretched state. The multilayer film is then recovered to produce an extensible web laminate. | 02-13-2014 |
