  • Patent number: 11604848
    Abstract: Technologies for cross-device shared web resource caching include a client device and a shared cache device. The client device scans for a shared cache device in local proximity to the client device and, in response to the scan, registers with the shared cache device. After registering, the client device requests a cached web resource from the shared cache device. The shared cache device determines whether a cached web resource that matches the request is installed in a shared cache. The shared cache device may determine whether an origin of the request matches the mi gin of the cached web resource. If installed, the shared cache device sends a found response and the cached web resource to the client device. If not installed, the shared cache device sends a not-found response and the client device may request the web resource from a remote web server. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11605556
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for forming integrated circuit structures having a plurality of non-planar transistors. An insulation structure is provided between channel, source, and drain regions of neighboring fins. The insulation structure is formed during back side processing, wherein at least a first portion of the isolation material between adjacent fins is recessed to expose a sub-channel portion of the semiconductor fins. A spacer material is then deposited at least on the exposed opposing sidewalls of the exposed sub-channel portion of each fin. The isolation material is then further recessed to form an air gap between gate, source, and drain regions of neighboring fins. The air gap electrically isolates the source/drain regions of one fin from the source/drain regions of an adjacent fin, and likewise isolates the gate region of the one fin from the gate region of the adjacent fin. The air gap can be filled with a dielectric material.

  • Publication number: 20230071760
    Abstract: Disclosed is a technical solution to calibrate confidence scores of classification networks. A classification network has been trained to receive an input and output a label of the input that indicates a class of the input. The classification network also outputs a confidence score of the label, which indicates a likelihood of the input falling into the class, i.e., a confidence level of the classification network that the label is correct. To calibrate the confidence of the classification network, a logit transformation function may be added into the classification network. The logic transformation function may be an entropy-based function and have learnable parameters, which may be trained by inputting calibration samples into the classification network and optimizing a negative log likelihood based on the labels generated by the classification network and ground-truth labels of the calibration samples. The trained logic transformation function can be used to compute reliable confidence scores.
