  • Publication number: 20240149494
    Abstract: A method for silicon carbide ingot peeling includes the steps of: placing the silicon carbide ingot between first and second suckers; having a pressing head disposed on a top surface of the first sucker to apply mechanical oscillatory energy to both the silicon carbide ingot and the second sucker through the first sucker; and, having an elastic element disposed under the second sucker to absorb part of the mechanical oscillatory energy to transmit longitudinal waves thereof to a modified layer of the silicon carbide ingot for propagating individually intermittent invisible cracks at the modified layer to break silicon carbide chains at different levels. Till the cracks connect together for forming a continuous crack across the silicon carbide ingot, a top portion of the silicon carbide ingot is then separable therefrom to form a wafer.

  • Patent number: 11977842
    Abstract: A computing system generates a plurality of training data sets for generating the NLP model. The computing system trains a teacher network to extract and classify tokens from a document. The training includes a pre-training stage where the teacher network is trained to classify generic data in the plurality of training data sets and a fine-tuning stage where the teacher network is trained to classify targeted data in the plurality of training data sets. The computing system trains a student network to extract and classify tokens from a document by distilling knowledge learned by the teacher network during the fine-tuning stage from the teacher network to the student network. The computing system outputs the NLP model based on the training. The computing system causes the NLP model to be deployed in a remote computing environment.

  • Publication number: 20230402871
    Abstract: A dual-input power switching system includes a first DC power source, a second DC power source, a DC conversion circuit, and a boost-up circuit. The first DC power source provides a first DC voltage, and the second DC power source provides a second DC voltage. The DC conversion circuit receives the first DC voltage or the second DC voltage being an input voltage, and converts the input voltage to supply power to a load. The boost-up circuit provides a hold-up voltage to boost up the input voltage when the first DC power source stops supplying power to lead to power drop of the input voltage, such that the input voltage reaches to a specific voltage that is greater than the second DC voltage and afterward naturally decreases to be less than or equal to the second DC voltage.
