  • Patent number: 11948392
    Abstract: An activity recording system is provided. The activity recording system includes a three-dimensional camera, a sensor arrangement that is fitted to a subject being recorded, and an activity recording device. The activity recording device receives image information from the three-dimensional camera and sensor arrangement information from the sensor arrangement. Both the image information and the sensor arrangement information include location measurements. The sensor arrangement information is generated by location sensors that are positioned at target features of the subject to be tracked. The sensor arrangement information is a key to the image information that specifies where, in any given image, the target features of the subject lie. Activity data having these characteristics may be applied to solve a variety of system development problems. Such activity data can be used to training machine learning components or test computer vision components for a fraction of the cost of using conventional techniques.

  • Patent number: 11948874
    Abstract: An integrated circuit interconnect level including a lower metallization line vertically spaced from upper metallization lines. Lower metallization lines may be self-aligned to upper metallization lines enabling increased metallization line width without sacrificing line density for a given interconnect level. Combinations of upper and lower metallization lines within an interconnect metallization level may be designed to control intra-layer resistance/capacitance of integrated circuit interconnect. Dielectric material between two adjacent co-planar metallization lines may be recessed or deposited selectively to the metallization lines. Supplemental metallization may then be deposited and planarized. A top surface of the supplemental metallization may either be recessed to form lower metallization lines between upper metallization lines, or planarized with dielectric material to form upper metallization lines between lower metallization lines.

  • Publication number: 20240104915
    Abstract: Machine learning models can process a video and generate outputs such as action segmentation assigning portions of the video to a particular action, or action classification assigning an action class for each frame of the video. Some machine learning models can accurately make predictions for short videos but may not be particularly suited for performing action segmentation for long duration, structured videos. An effective machine learning model may include a hybrid architecture involving a temporal convolutional network and a bi-directional graph neural network. The machine learning model can process long duration structured videos by using a temporal convolutional network as a first pass action segmentation model to generate rich, frame-wise features. The frame-wise features can be converted into a graph having forward edges and backward edges. A graph neural network can process the graph to refine a final fine-grain per-frame action prediction.
