Abstract: The present disclosure is related to techniques for converting a natural language utterance to a logical form query and deriving a natural language interpretation of the logical form query. The techniques include accessing a Meaning Resource Language (MRL) query and converting the MRL query into a MRL structure including logical form statements. The converting includes extracting operations and associated attributes from the MRL query and generating the logical form statements from the operations and associated attributes. The techniques further include translating each of the logical form statements into a natural language expression based on a grammar data structure that includes a set of rules for translating logical form statements into corresponding natural language expressions, combining the natural language expressions into a single natural language expression, and providing the single natural language expression as an interpretation of the natural language utterance.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a first word line formed over a first active region. In some embodiments, a first metal line is disposed over and perpendicular to the first word line, where the first metal line is electrically connected to the first word line using a first conductive via, and where the first conductive via is disposed over the first active region. In some examples, the semiconductor memory device further includes a second metal line and a third metal line both parallel to the first metal line and disposed on opposing sides of the first metal line, where the second metal line is electrically connected to a source/drain region of the first active region using a second conductive via, and where the third metal line is electrically connected to the source/drain region of the first active region using a third conductive via.

Abstract: A hover touch controller device includes a touch sensor having a touch surface and a proximity sensor. The touch sensor provides two-dimensional position information on when and where a user's finger touches the touch surface. The proximity sensor provides three-dimensional position information on pre-touch events. The pre-touch events corresponding to the user's finger hovering over the touch surface within some maximum depth. The hover touch controller device further includes a processor. The processor determines from the three-dimensional information a hover point projected on the touch surface and determines from the two-dimensional information a touch point on the touch surface. The processor communicates the hover point and the contact point to a display device. This can include correcting for any perceived user interaction issues associated an offset between the hover point and the touch point.

Abstract: A hover touch controller device includes a touch sensor having a touch surface with a first aspect ratio and a proximity sensor. Information on when and where a user touches the touch surface is detected. Additionally, information on hover-input events is detected. The hover input events correspond to a user's finger hovering over the touch surface within some maximum depth. The hover touch device further includes a controller. The processor communicates three-dimensional spatial information to a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The GUI generates visualizations based on the hover events and the touch events on a display having an interactive surface with a second aspect ratio. The processor further corrects for any issues associated with supporting a variety of GUI designs. This can include correcting for a difference between the first aspect ratio and the second aspect ratio.

Abstract: An electrical card connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts retained to the housing, a metallic shield attached to the housing and cooperating with the housing to form a receiving cavity for receiving therein an electrical card, and a card holding mechanism located beside the receiving cavity. The card holding mechanism includes a slider, a spring abutting against the slider and deformable in the front-to-back direction, and a resilient locking device. The locking device includes a securing part retained to the slider, a resilient arm extending from the securing part with a locking protrusion for engagement within a locking notch of the electrical card. The slider provides an abutment face. The free end of the locking arm is adapted to abut against the abutment face when the electrical card is inserted into or withdrawn from the receiving cavity to outwardly deflect the resilient arm.
