Abstract: A multi-modal articulation system translates human gestures into control commands for digital and automation devices. The system integrates a camera module, which captures facial and hand movements, with an image processing unit that extracts facial features, such as eyebrow movement, lip curvature, eyelid motion, and eye trajectory. These extracted features are analyzed in real time by an articulation recognition module that compares them against a database to recognize specific gestures. The system tracks and processes air-drawn hand gestures using a gesture trajectory tracking unit, which converts the motions into digital representations and classifies them using deep learning algorithms. The recognized gestures are converted into machine-readable control signals and executed on various connected devices via a relay control unit.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing high bulk continuous multi-filament yarn comprises a number of distinct steps. In a first step, a plurality of filaments of polymer are melt spun to form a partially oriented yarn (POY). In a second step, the POYs are drawn and textured to form a draw textured yarn, wherein texturing is carried out in a friction texturing process. Subsequently at least two plies of the draw textured yarn are twisted and/or cabled together and subsequently heat set to obtain the high bulk continuous multifilament yarn.

In some embodiments, the layout is a mask layout used to manufacture the IC, while in other embodiments, the layout is a design layout used to design the IC (e.g., a layout used during the physical design process).

Abstract: Integrated circuit package having a substrate employing reduced area, added metal pad(s) to metal interconnect(s) to reduce a die to a substrate clearance and related fabrication methods are disclosed. The IC package includes die interconnects coupled to first metal pad(s) of respective metal interconnects of a metallization layer of the substrate to provide support and signal routing paths. To reduce clearance between the die and the substrate and consequently the height of the IC package, a second, additional metal pad(s) having a reduced cross-sectional area from the first metal pad(s) is coupled to the first metal pad(s). Solder is employed to couple the second, additional metal pad(s) to a die interconnect(s) of the die to couple the die to the substrate. When the solder is heated to form the solder joint, the solder flows along the reduced cross-sectional area of the second, additional metal pad(s).

Abstract: Described herein are three-dimensional memory arrays that include multiple layers of memory cells. The layers are stacked and bonded to each other at bonding interfaces. The layers are formed on a support structure, such as a semiconductor wafer, that is grinded down before the layers are bonded. Vias extend through multiple layers of memory cells, including through the support structures and bonding interfaces. Thinning the support structure enables a tighter via pitch, which reduces the portion of the footprint used for vias. The memory cells may include three-dimensional transistors with a recessed gate and extended channel length.

Embodiments are directed to eliminating such glare. Other embodiments are related to mixed reality (MR) and filling in occluded areas.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a borrower identification and prediction of credit risk associated with the identified borrower is provided. The system includes a server that retrieves an electronic message that includes details of transactions conducted by a first entity over a time. The electronic message is parsed based on a predefined parameter, to identify a second entity, where the first entity has conducted a business transaction with the second entity.

Furthermore, a knowledge graph is generated based on the business transaction and the first set of details. The knowledge graph indicates an association between the first entity and the second entity. Subsequently, a credit risk score associated with lending money to the second entity is predicted based on the knowledge graph.
