    Abstract: A method for crystal pulling is provided. The method includes the following. The method includes performing an equal-diameter process. The equal-diameter process is performed as follows. From the first equal-diameter stage to the third equal-diameter stage, the crystal rotation rate is gradually increased after starting at a first initial crystal rotation rate, and then is kept at a constant rotation rate after gradually increasing the crystal rotation rate. The crucible rotation rate is gradually increased from a first initial crucible rotation rate to a maximum crucible rotation rate after starting at the first initial crucible rotation rate in the first equal-diameter stage, the crucible rotation rate is kept at the maximum crucible rotation rate in the second equal-diameter stage, and the crucible rotation rate is gradually decreased after the second equal-diameter stage. The method further includes a cooling process.

  • Patent number: 11941346
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide methods and systems for effectively and efficiently summarizing long documents. A transformer is provided with bottom-up and top-down inference combined to effectively capture long-range dependency. In the bottom-up inference, each token only attends to nearby tokens within a window of a specified size. In the top-down inference, full self-attention is given using units with coarser granularity. The bottom-up-inferred token representations are then updated with the top-down representations, which is achieved with cross-attention between the top and token levels. Multiple levels of top-down representations with increasingly coarser granularity can be used if documents are extremely long.

  • Patent number: 11823392
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for segmenting generic foreground objects in images and videos. For segmenting generic foreground objects in videos, an appearance stream of an image in a video frame is processed using a first deep neural network. Furthermore, a motion stream of an optical flow image in the video frame is processed using a second deep neural network. The appearance and motion streams are then joined to combine complementary appearance and motion information to perform segmentation of generic objects in the video frame. Generic foreground objects are segmented in images by training a convolutional deep neural network to estimate a likelihood that a pixel in an image belongs to a foreground object. After receiving the image, the likelihood that the pixel in the image is part of the foreground object as opposed to background is then determined using the trained convolutional deep neural network.
