Patent number: 11991873Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for a semiconductor device including a substrate, a first inter-level dielectric (ILD) layer above the substrate, and a second ILD layer above the first ILD layer. A first capacitor and a second capacitor are formed within the first ILD layer and the second ILD layer. A first top plate of the first capacitor and a second top plate of the second capacitor are formed at a boundary between the first ILD layer and the second ILD layer. The first capacitor and the second capacitor are separated by a dielectric area in the first ILD layer. The dielectric area includes a first dielectric area that is coplanar with the first top plate or the second top plate, and a second dielectric area above the first dielectric area and to separate the first top plate and the second top plate. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2023Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Travis W. Lajoie, Abhishek A. Sharma, Van H.

Patent number: 11949996Abstract: A device for estimating a scene illumination color for a source image is configured to: determine a set of candidate illuminants and for each of the candidate illuminants, determine a respective correction of the source image; for each of the candidate illuminants, apply the respective correction to the source image to form a corresponding set of corrected images; for each corrected image from the set of corrected images, implement a trained data-driven model to estimate a respective probability of achromaticity of the respective corrected image; and based on the estimated probabilities of achromaticity for the set of corrected images, obtain a final estimate of the scene illumination color for the source image. This approach allows for the evaluation of multiple candidate illuminates to determine an estimate of the scene illumination color.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Daniel Hernandez, Sarah Parisot, Ales Leonardis, Gregory Slabaugh, Steven George McDonagh

Patent number: 11938483Abstract: Provided herein are an optical test platform and corresponding method of manufacturing the same. The test platform may include a shell defining a cavity for receiving a sample tube, a first aperture, and a second aperture. The first aperture and the second aperture of the shell may each be configured to optically couple the cavity with an exterior of the shell. The test platform may further include a first window and a second window embedded in the shell. The first window may seal a first aperture and the second window may seal a second aperture. The first window and second window may each permit the optical coupling of the cavity with the exterior of the shell. The first window and the second window may be optically coupled via the cavity, and the shell may prohibit optical coupling between the first window and the second window through the shell.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: BIOMERIEUX, INC.Inventors: Jack R. Hoffmann, Jr., Gregory R. Maes, Jeffrey Edward Price, Jared Ian Bullock, Samuel B. Crandall, Jacky S. Yam, Christopher George Kocher, Walter J. Clynes

Publication number: 20240098186Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for centralized validation of potential network calls, such as calls proposing database transactions, on a distributed system. The distributed system may include multiple systems that apply independent criteria for validating proposals, which criteria may not be available external to the individual systems. Moreover, the systems may lack an ability to validate proposals prior to submitting such proposals for commitment. A centralized network call parameter validation system as disclosed herein may validate potential network calls with high confidence by applying probability models of data pattern and hashing digit checksum to potential network call parameter values, which models are generated based on statistical analysis of historical network call values.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Yi Chen, Gregory Morris Cote, Stephen Krawczyk, Philip George Quick

Publication number: 20240076891Abstract: A system for basing drones is described. A network of geographically diverse hangars provides storage and charging locations as well as backhaul communications infrastructure and video monitoring. As drones are needed, a central command point tasks an available drone, which may or may not already be located in proximity to a target. If additional drones are needed, drones can be flown to the area of interest and continuous coverage provided by charging drones while an active drone is conducting the mission, then rotating charged drones into the active mission. Structures for the hangars, the overall system, and methods of operation are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Gregory Lester Waters, Adam George Mirza, Dan William Nobbe, Matthew T.

Patent number: 11900486Abstract: Improved technological solutions are introduced for providing a secure and effective and enhanced clustering/grouping solution that is useful, for example, in an online dating forum as well as any number of other industries. The ability to attend live events in person or remotely is coupled with presence location and automatic verification of user devices and identities. This allows secured communication between participants without having to disclose actual contact information of the participants or their device addresses. An improved algorithm that groups members/items effectively based on a variety of matching criteria, with lowered possibilities of errors and more efficient use of processing power, is now introduced.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2023Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Inventors: Kenneth Page-Romer, Gregory George Page-Romer
