An SRAM array and a dummy cell row structure is discussed that permits an SRAM array to be divided into segments isolated by a row pattern of dummy cells. The dummy cell structure avoids the use of special OPC conditions at the power supply line and block boundaries by providing a continuous cell array at the lower cell patterning levels in an area efficient implementation. In one implementation, the SRAM array comprises a first and second array block each comprising an SRAM cell having a first layout configuration, one or more of the dummy cells having a second layout configuration arranged along the row pattern associated with a wordline of the SRAM array, a first power supply voltage line connected to the first array block, and a second different power supply voltage line connected to the second array block. The first and second power supply voltage lines of the array blocks are further connected to the one or more dummy cells. Beneficially, the bitlines of the array may be continuous across the first and second array blocks and a dummy cell associated therewith.

A method or process enables the collection of data from mobile devices and mobile networks using filtering, compression, encryption, memory management, and power management technologies to collect mobile device metrics at the mobile device (client side), and then transmit these metrics from the mobile device to a server for processing by analytics software. The analytics processing may also occur directly on the mobile device. Policies are determined and configured at the processing server to drive and control the mobile device metrics captured, which may include but are not limited to, data usage (e.g. time of day, amount of data sent/received), voice usage (e.g. time of day, calls in/out of network, dropped calls, call duration), the location of the mobile device, cell patterns (e.g. problem cells, roaming), touch interactions, behavioral analysis (programs used, services uses), battery performance, CPU usage, memory usage, network usage (e.g. 2G, 3G, 3.5G, 4G, Wi-Fi, WiMAX), and the like.

A method of making a memory cell or magnetic element by using two hard masks. The method includes first patterning a second hard mask to form a reduced second hard mask, with a first hard mask being an etch stop for the patterning process, and then patterning the first hard mask to form a reduced first hard mask by using the reduced second hard mask as a mask and using an etch stop layer as an etch stop. After patterning both hard masks, then patterning a functional layer by using the reduced first hard mask as a mask. In the resulting memory cell, the first hard mask layer is also a top lead, and the diameter of the first hard mask layer is at least essentially the same as the diameter of the etch stop layer, the adhesion layer, and the functional layer.

In a spectrum allocation method in a cellular communication system, a cell pattern is divided into clusters each containing a plurality of adjacent cells. A pool of forward and return link bearers is allocated to each cluster and may be shared among cells within the cluster. Bearers are reused between blusters having a sufficiently high mutual isolation. Preferably, the same time slot in a return link bearer is allocated to multiple users within the cluster. The receiver of the shared return link bearer uses multi-user detection techniques to separately decode the signals from each user sharing a time slot, using the spatial diversity of the individual cells.
