  • Publication number: 20230007317
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods related to a deep learning accelerator and memory are described. For example, a removable media (e.g., a memory card, or a USB drive) may be configured to execute instructions with matrix operands and configured with: an interface to receive a video stream; and random access memory to buffer a portion of the video stream as an input to an artificial neural network and to store instructions executable by the deep learning accelerator and matrices of the artificial neural network. Such a removable media can be used to replace an existing removable media used in a surveillance camera to record video or images. The deep learning accelerator can execute the instructions to generate analytics of the buffer portion using the artificial neural network, enabling the surveillance camera that is upgraded via the use of the removable media to provide intelligent services based on the analytics.

  • Publication number: 20220396798
    Abstract: This invention relates to a novel mRNA composition and its production method useful for developing and manufacturing RNA-based anti-viral and/or anti-cancer vaccines and medicines. This invention includes two types of mRNA constructs, namely “5?-hairpin messenger RNA (5hmRNA)” and “messenger-hairpin-messenger RNA (mhmRNA)”, respectively. Both of 5hmRNA and mhmRNA contain at least a hairpin-like stem-loop RNA structure. The 5hmRNA contains at least a stem-loop RNA structure in the 5?-UTR of a protein/peptide-coding mRNA, while the mhmRNA contains a middle stem-loop structure flanked with two protein/peptide-coding mRNA sequences on both sides. In mhmRNA, the first 5?-mRNA preferably encodes an RNA replicase, for amplifying the second 3?-mRNA in transfected cells. After transfection into target cells, 5hmRNA and mhmRNA can be further translated into at least a desired protein/peptide.

    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device. A substrate having a first region and a second region surrounding the first region is provided. The first region includes a first active area and a first gate. A dummy pattern is disposed on the substrate within the second region around a perimeter of the first region. A resist pattern masks the second region and includes an opening that exposes the first region. An ion implantation process is performed to implant dopants through the opening into the first active area not covered by the first gate within the first region, thereby forming doped regions in the first active area. A resist stripping process is performed to remove the resist pattern by using a sulfuric acid-hydrogen peroxide mixture (SPM) solution at a temperature that is higher than or equal to 120˜190 degrees Celsius. The substrate is subjected to a cleaning process.
