Abstract: A method for generating a multi-modal video dataset with pixel-wise hand segmentation is disclosed. To address the challenges of conventional dataset creation, the method advantageously utilizes multi-modal image data that includes thermal images of the hands, which enables efficient pixel-wise hand segmentation of the image data. By using the thermal images, the method is not affected by fingertip and joint occlusions and does not require hand pose ground truth. Accordingly, the method can produce more accurate pixel-wise hand segmentation in an automated manner, with less human effort. The method can thus be utilized to generate a large multi-modal hand activity video dataset having hand segmentation labels, which is useful for training machine learning models, such as deep neural networks.

Abstract: Ultra-compact inductor devices for use in integrated circuits (e.g., RF ICs) that use 3-dimensional Dirac materials for providing the inductor. Whereas inductors currently require significant real estate on an integrated circuit, because they require use of an electrically conductive winding around an insulative core, or such metal deposited in a spiral geometry, the present devices can be far more compact, occupying significantly less space on an integrated circuit. For example, an ultra-compact inductor that could be included in an integrated circuit may include a 3-dimensional Dirac material formed into a geometric shape capable of inductance (e.g., as simple as a stripe or series of stripes of such material), deposited on a substantially non-conductive (i.e., insulative) substrate, on which the Dirac material in the selected geometric shape is positioned. Low temperature manufacturing methods compatible with CMOS manufacturing are also provided.
