    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for determining a subject's stress condition. The system includes a stress test unit configured for: receiving features defining the subject and physiological signals sensed from the subject when performing a relaxation and a stressful test task; extracting normalization parameters from the physiological signals; and identifying stress-responsive physiological features. The system also includes a storage unit configured for: storing a plurality of stress models; and storing the subject's features, normalization parameters, and the stress-responsive physiological features. The system also includes a stress detection unit configured for: selecting a stress model from the plurality of stress models based on the subject's features and the stress responsive physiological features; estimating a specific stress condition based on the stress model, stored subject's features, normalization parameters, and physiological signals that apply to the selected stress model; and providing a stress value representative of the subject's stress condition.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to semiconductor devices, and more particularly to FinFET transistors. In one aspect, at least three fins are arranged to extend in parallel in a first direction and are laterally separated from each other in a second direction by shallow trench isolation structures having a first fin spacing, where at least a portion of each fin protrudes out from a substrate. At least a portion of each of a first fin and a second fin of the at least three fins vertically protrude to a level higher than an upper surface of the shallow trench isolation structures. A third fin is formed laterally between the first fin and the second fin in the second direction, where the third fin has a non-protruding region which extends vertically to a level below or equal to the upper surface of the shallow trench isolation structures.

    Abstract: A material layer stack, a non-volatile memory device comprising the stack, and arrays thereof are described. The material layer stack comprises first and second magnetic tunnel junctions and a first top electrode formed on a top face of the stack. A shoulder is formed on a lateral face of the stack and divides the stack into a lower portion and an upper portion, wherein a tunnel barrier of the first magnetic tunnel junction is comprised by the lower stack portion and a tunnel barrier of the second magnetic tunnel junction by the upper stack portion. A second top electrode is formed on the shoulder. Each magnetic tunnel junction is adapted to store a bit as a reconfigurable magnetoresistance of its magnetic electrodes. Preferably, a bottom face of the stack is connected to a conductor supporting current induced magnetic polarization switching for the first magnetic tunnel junction by spin-orbit torque; magnetic polarization switching for the second magnetic tunnel junction is preferably achieved by spin-transfer torque.
