  • Patent number: 11984365
    Abstract: A high atomic number material is applied to one or more surfaces of a semiconductor structure of a wafer. The one or more surfaces are at a depth different from a depth of a surface of the wafer. An electron beam is scanned over the semiconductor structure to cause a backscattered electron signal to be collected at a collector. A profile scan of the semiconductor structure is generated based on an intensity of the backscattered electron signal, at the collector, resulting from the high atomic number material. The high atomic number material increases the intensity of the backscattered electron signal for the one or more surfaces of the semiconductor structure such that contrast in the profile scan is increased. The increased contrast of the profile scan enables accurate critical dimension measurements of the semiconductor structure.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a data privacy protection method, a server device, and a client device for federated learning. A public dataset is used to perform model training on a machine learning model by a server device to generate a gradient pool including multiple first gradients. The gradient pool and the machine learning model are received by a client device. The client device uses a local dataset to perform model training on the machine learning model to obtain a second gradient. A local gradient is selected from the first gradients in the gradient pool according to the second gradient using a differential privacy algorithm by the client device. An aggregated machine learning model is generated by performing model aggregation based on the local gradient by the server device.

  • Patent number: 11979045
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a smart connection device, a jump starter and a battery clamp. The smart connection device includes a power connection terminal coupled to an energy storage module, a load connection terminal coupled to an external load, a switch element, a power supply loop, and a reverse connection detection module. The reverse connection detection module outputs a first control signal to the power supply loop, when the external load is reversely coupled to the load connection terminal. The power supply loop is in a disconnection state and supplies no power to the switch element when it receives the first control signal. The switch element is in an off state when it receives no power supply, to make the power connection terminal and the load connection terminal be in a disconnection state, thereby preventing the energy storage module from providing a discharge output to the external load.
