  • Publication number: 20190252531
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a high-speed superjunction lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor, and belongs to the technical field of semiconductor power devices. Fast turn-off can be achieved by replacing the lightly doped substrate of the existing bulk silicon superjunction lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor with heavily doped substrate, breakdown voltage of the device is ensured by reasonably setting the total number of impurities in each drift region of the over junction-sustaining voltage layer, and further application thereof in integrated circuits is realized by providing the semiconductor second substrate region and the semiconductor isolation region. A high speed superjunction laterally insulated gate bipolar transistor according to the present disclosure solves the contradiction between cost of the superjunction laterally insulated gate bipolar transistor and achievement of fast turn-off on a bulk silicon substrate.

  • Patent number: 10326724
    Abstract: An approach for identifying and managing tasks in an e-mail system. An e-mail task manager, receives an e-mail and creates n-grams based on e-mail data content and metadata content. The e-mail task manager identifies the e-mail as a task e-mail based on analyzing the n-grams to detect a task and a task owner. The e-mail task manager determines task details associated with the task e-mail based on the n-grams and determines a collection of recommended actions based on the task details. The e-mail task manager stores the collection of recommended actions and associated action states in a task history store. The e-mail task manager outputs the collection of recommended actions and the action states associated with the task e-mail based on the task owner and updates the collection of recommend actions and the associated action states based on interactions by the task owner.

  • Patent number: 10261731
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus that is capable of preventing FPOT (First Print Output Time) from becoming longer beyond necessity. A selection unit selects a first print job that uses print data reserved in the image processing apparatus and a second print job that requires transfer of print data from another image processing apparatus. A print-job execution unit performs the first print job and the second print job selected by the selection unit. A control unit controls a printing order of the print-job execution unit so that the first print job is performed prior to performing the second print job when the execution of the first print job and the second print job is instructed.
