  • Publication number: 20240095935
    Abstract: Methods and systems for deep learning alignment for semiconductor applications are provided. One method includes transforming design information for an alignment target on a specimen to a predicted image of the alignment target by inputting the design information into a deep learning model and aligning the predicted image to an image of the alignment target on the specimen generated by an imaging subsystem. The method also includes determining an offset between the predicted image and the image generated by the imaging subsystem based on results of the aligning and storing the determined offset as an align-to-design offset for use in a process performed on the specimen with the imaging subsystem.

  • Patent number: 11935625
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing and/or analyzing nucleic acid sequencing data comprises receiving a first data input and a second data input. The first data input comprises untargeted sequencing data generated from a first nucleic acid sample obtained from a subject. The second data input comprises target-specific sequencing data generated from a second nucleic acid sample obtained from the subject. Next, with the aid of a computer processor, the first data input and the second data input are combined to produce a combined data set. Next, an output derived from the combined data set is generated. The output is indicative of the presence or absence of one or more polymorphisms of the first nucleic acid sample and/or the second nucleic acid sample.

  • Patent number: 11921839
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to sharing a user credential between computing devices. In some embodiments, a first computing device stores a set of user credentials usable to authenticate a user and receives, from a second computing device, a request for a user credential to be provided responsive to an authentication prompt associated with the second computing device. In such an embodiment, the request includes an indication of a service for which the authentication prompt is being presented. Based on the indication, the first computing device determines whether the stored set of user credentials includes a user credential relevant to the authentication prompt and presents a selection prompt asking a user of the first computing device to select a one of the stored set of user credentials to provide to the second computing device for authentication to the service, the relevant user credential being identified in the selection prompt.

  • Publication number: 20230231798
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing a data packet in a network node includes determining a level of deterioration of a primary path between the network node and the destination node. The determined level of deterioration is based at least on a non-congestion-related loss for a primary link associated with one or more subsequent hops of the data packet from the network node toward the destination node along the primary path. Based on the determined level of deterioration of the primary path being above a threshold, the primary path is changed to an alternate path from the network node to the destination node. The data packet is forwarded to a next network node on the alternate path.

  • Publication number: 20230088536
    Abstract: An efficient structure and methodology are provided for communicating in a network using a contract implemented in a packet or frame. In various embodiments, a user can generate a contract clause having a constraint for communicating in the network, and determine a communication layer at which to process the constraint during communication in the network. The user device can insert the contract clause in a position in a packet corresponding to the communication layer and can transmit the packet from the user device. In various embodiments, a network node that receives a packet can identify a contract clause in a packet and can process a constraint from the contract clause. The network node can track performance of the constraint and provide accountability in response to the tracking of the performance with respect to terms associated with the constraint in the contract clause.
