Abstract: A method is provided for indoor multipath ghosts recognition for a multiple-input-multiple-output radar with collocated antennas. The method includes the step of generating a two-dimensional Range-Doppler map for N number of consecutive radar data frames. The method further includes the step of applying a temporal clustering algorithm to the N number of consecutive radar data frames. Moreover, the method includes the step of applying a linear pattern extraction algorithm on the two-dimensional Range-Doppler map. In this context, the two-dimensional Range-Doppler map comprises detections from at least one target, at least one first-order ghost, and at least one second-order ghost with respect to one wall reflector.

Abstract: A method of producing a gate cut in a semiconductor component is provided. In one aspect, an array of nano-sized semiconductor fins is processed on a semiconductor substrate. Rails may be buried in the substrate and in a layer of dielectric material that isolates neighboring fins from each other. The rails may extend in the direction of the fins and each rail may be situated between two adjacent fins. The rails may be buried power rails for enabling the formation of a power delivery network at the back of an integrated circuit chip. At the front side of the substrate, one or more gate structures are produced. The gate structures extend transversally, or perpendicularly, with respect to the fins and the rails. A gate cut is produced by forming an opening from the back side of the substrate, and removing a portion of the gate structure at the bottom of the opening, thereby creating a gate cut that is aligned to the sidewalls of the rail. In another aspect, a semiconductor component, such as an integrated circuit, includes a gate cut that is aligned to the sidewalls of a buried contact rail.

Abstract: A method of operating a pore field-effect transistor (FET) sensor for detecting particles, wherein the pore FET sensor comprises a FET wherein a gate is controlled by a pore filled by a fluid, comprises: controlling a first voltage (Vcis) to set the FET in a subthreshold region; controlling a second voltage (Vtrans) to set a voltage difference between the first and second voltages (Vtrans) such that an effective difference in gate voltage experienced between a minimum and a maximum effective gate voltage during movement of a particle in the fluid is at least kT/q; and detecting a drain-source current in the FET, wherein the particle passing through the pore modulates the drain-source current for detecting presence of the particle.

Abstract: A method for controlling an artificial iris comprises: receiving a measurement of light intensity detected by a sensor on or adjacent to the artificial iris; accessing a user-specific profile based on user calibration for determining one or more user-specific thresholds of light intensity of the user-specific profile, wherein the one or more user-specific thresholds are associated with light intensities for triggering a change of light transmittance through the artificial iris; comparing the received measurement of light intensity to the one or more thresholds in the user-specific profile; and determining, based on said comparing, whether to turn on or turn off one or more concentric rings of liquid crystals of the artificial iris for controlling an amount of light transmitted through the artificial iris.
