20100187602 | METHODS FOR MAKING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES USING NITRIDE CONSUMPTION LOCOS OXIDATION - Semiconductor devices and methods for making such devices using nitride consumption LOCOS oxidation are described. The semiconductor devices contain a planar field oxide structure that has been grown using a nitride layer as an oxidation mask. Once the field oxide structure has been grown, the nitride mask is not etched away, but rather converted to an oxide layer by an oxidation process using radicals of hydrogen and oxygen. The semiconductor devices also contain a shielded gate trench MOSFET that can be created using an oxide layer with an overlying nitride layer as the channel (sidewall) gate dielectric. An inter-poly-dielectric (IPD) layer can be formed from a thermally grown oxide which uses the nitride layer as a oxidation mask. The thickness of the IPD layer can be adjusted to any thickness needed with minimal effect of the channel gate dielectric layer. An oxidation process using radicals of hydrogen and oxygen can be preformed to consume the nitride layer and form the gate oxide in the channel region. Since the gate channel nitride acts as a barrier to the oxidation, the IPD oxide layer can be grown to any needed thickness with minimal oxidation to the channel gate and the nitride layer can be removed without any etching processes. Other embodiments are described. | 07-29-2010 |

20150188727 | TUNNELING VOIP CALL CONTROL ON CELLULAR NETWORKS - Signaling from a mobile device is transparently tunneled through a cellular voice network to a Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) core network so that multi-party calls, including conference calls and call waiting, can be managed entirely within the VoIP core network. The tunneled signals enable call control to be implemented in the VoIP core network and also establish a way to communicate requests, instructions, and call state. The signaling is transparent to the cellular network because that network does not receive and interpret the signaling. Instead, the cellular network's existing and unmodified control plane is repurposed by the mobile device by placing new, brief outgoing calls through the cellular network to the VoIP core network where the called party number (i.e., the caller-ID) encodes specific information. The VoIP core network immediately releases the new cellular call once the caller-ID is received and the encoded information is interpreted. | 07-02-2015 |
20150373183 | USE OF A DIGITAL ASSISTANT IN COMMUNICATIONS - A digital assistant operating on a device is configured to be engaged as an active participant in communications between local and remote parties by listening to voice and video calls and participating in messaging sessions. The digital assistant typically can be initiated by voice using a key word or phrase and then be requested to perform tasks, provide information and services, etc. using voice or gestures. The digital assistant can respond to the request and take appropriate actions. In voice and video calls, the interactions with the digital assistant (i.e., the request, response, and actions) can be heard by both parties to the call as if the digital assistant was a third party on the call. In a messaging session, messages are generated and displayed to each participant so that they can see the interactions with the digital assistant as if it was a participant. | 12-24-2015 |

The location sharing component exposes various options to set a length of time for the location sharing or the location can be shared up until the meet-up occurs. User interfaces (UIs) exposed by the location sharing component can provide directions and dynamically updated maps which show the locations of the parties. The location sharing experience can be persisted after the phone call ends by showing updates to the directions and maps and by surfacing notifications when the parties are close so that they can start looking for each other. The location sharing time interval can be extended if it is due to expire before the meet-up occurs. | 03-10-2016 |

20120222859 | Dispersing Separated Hydrocarbon Gas into Separated Oil During Surface Well Testing for Improved Oil Mobility - A surface well testing facility for dispersing separated hydrocarbon gas into separated oil from a multiphase well fluid for improved oil mobility and combustion efficiency. A multiphase fluid is produced from a well. The gas constituent and the oil constituent are separated from the multiphase fluid, the oil constituent having an undesirable viscosity. Both the gas constituent and the oil constituent are measured. Thereafter, at least a first portion of the gas constituent is injected into the oil constituent. The first portion of the gas constituent is mixed with the oil constituent such that the first portion of the gas constituent is dispersed into the oil constituent to form an oil/gas mixture having a viscosity that is lower than the undesirable viscosity of the oil constituent and a BTU content higher than the oil constituent. | 09-06-2012 |

20140156259 | Generating Stimuli for Use in Soliciting Grounded Linguistic Information - A processing system is described which generates stimulus information (SI) having one or more stimulus components (SCs) selected from an inventory of such components. The processing system then presents the SI to a group of human recipients, inviting those recipients to provide linguistic descriptions of the SI. The linguistic information that is received thereby has an implicit link to the SCs. Further, each linguistic component is associated with at least one feature of a target environment, such as a target computer system. Hence, the linguistic information also maps to the features of the target environment. These relationships allow applications to use the linguistic information to interact with the target environment in different ways. In one case, the processing system uses a challenge-response authentication task presentation to convey the stimulus information to the recipients. | 06-05-2014 |
