Publication number: 20240096705Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a plurality of channel layers vertically separated from one another. The semiconductor device also includes an active gate structure comprising a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion wraps around each of the plurality of channel layers. The semiconductor device further includes a gate spacer extending along a sidewall of the upper portion of the active gate structure. The gate spacer has a bottom surface. Moreover, a dummy gate dielectric layer is disposed between the gate spacer and a topmost channel layer of plurality of channel layers. The dummy gate dielectric layer is in contact with a top surface of the topmost channel layer, the bottom surface of the gate spacer, and the sidewall of the gate structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Kuei-Yu Kao, Chen-Yui Yang, Hsien-Chung Huang, Chao-Cheng Chen, Shih-Yao Lin, Chih-Chung Chiu, Chih-Han Lin, Chen-Ping Chen, Ke-Chia Tseng, Ming-Ching Chang

Patent number: 11113455Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for rendering web pages by a wireless device in order to reduce an amount of data transmitted over-the-air to the wireless device. In one embodiment, a method is performed by a server, comprising receiving a markup language document from a web server via a network interface, the markup language document corresponding to a web page. Next, the markup language document is parsed into a number of blocks by a processor, each of the blocks comprising code representing original content of the web page. Then, the processor creates one or more replacement blocks, each of the replacement blocks corresponding to a respective one of the blocks, each of the replacement blocks comprising code representing substituted content of the web page. Some of the blocks and at least one of the replacement blocks are then sent to a wireless device for rendering.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2013Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Aravind Seshadri, Anand Muthurajan, Jyh-Han Lin, Ke-Cheng Huang, Patrick Plaisted, Rui Liang

Patent number: 9020254Abstract: Described is a technology by which an image is transcoded to a desired quality measure (e.g., PSNR). A quality measure of transcoded image data is checked against a desired quality measure, and if a desired quality measure is not achieved, a different quality level is iteratively provided to attempt to re-transcode the image until the desired quality measure is achieved.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2011Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yisheng Yao, Ke-Cheng Huang, Emmanuel Papirakis, Patrick E.

Patent number: 8571311Abstract: Described is a technology by which a raster graphics image file (e.g., a PNG) containing pixels having color component data and alpha channel data (e.g., RGBA data) is transcoded into a smaller Palette Indexed format with non-noticeable and/or virtually no loss. Hextrees are used to represent the pixels of the image, such as one hextree for each subset (segment) of the image's pixels, where alpha channel data distribution may be used to determine each segment. A palette containing sets of alpha and color values is generated from the hextrees, with the transcoded image data provided by representing the pixel data as indexes to the palette.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2011Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Yisheng Yao, Ke-Cheng Huang, Emmanuel Papirakis

Patent number: 7721205Abstract: A graphical object is generated according to a first application in a document of a second application. The graphical object is constructed as a composite, data-driven object. The graphical object's data is organized so that the semantic data (e.g., relationship among individuals on an organizational chart) is persisted separately from presentation data (e.g., the layout and style of shapes and connectors for visualizing the organizational chart). The semantic data and presentation data are combined to provide the rendered view of the graphical object within the document. The graphical object displays and functions equivalently to when the graphical object is rendered by the first application.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2005Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ashley L. Morgan, Barn-Wan Li, Ke-Cheng Huang, Michael Kim, Sissie Ling-le, Robert L. C. Parker, Amit Kumar

Patent number: 7280692Abstract: A system and method for editing images. Each image editing operation is described by a few parameters. Multiple users can share image processing changes by sharing a few set of parameters instead of the whole bitmaps of the images. An Editing List describes the parameters defining the image changes. The size of Editing List is very small and is ideal for network transmission and collaboration. Image Editing Lists are independent of the images themselves. By decoupling the Image Editing Lists from the original bitmap images, other advantages are obtained. For instance, the same Editing List can be applied to other images and also to multiple images at the same time. Rendering of the modified images can be performed at a later time and only when necessary. In case of collaborative editing, the transmission time is reduced drastically.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2006Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: Microsoft Corp.Inventors: Ikko Fushiki, Ke-Cheng Huang
