US Patent 8796779, titled "Semiconductor device," has the following details based on the provided information and patent records:

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA):
The patent's statutory term, generally 20 years from the earliest priority date for applications filed after June 8, 1995, would be calculated from its priority date of September 14, 2010 (from Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-205599). This would typically result in an expiration date around September 14, 2030. However, the listed "Adjusted expiration" date on Google Patents is July 31, 2031. This indicates that Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) has been applied, extending the patent term by approximately 10 months and 17 days due to administrative delays at the USPTO during prosecution.

Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
There is no indication of Patent Term Extension (PTE) for US Patent 8796779. PTEs are typically granted for delays incurred during regulatory review processes, primarily for pharmaceutical products, medical devices, and food additives, which does not apply to this semiconductor device patent.
