Patent number: 11916077Abstract: The present disclosure describes an apparatus with a local interconnect structure. The apparatus can include a first transistor, a second transistor, a first interconnect structure, a second interconnect structure, and a third interconnect structure. The local interconnect structure can be coupled to gate terminals of the first and second transistors and routed at a same interconnect level as reference metal lines coupled to ground and a power supply voltage. The first interconnect structure can be coupled to a source/drain terminal of the first transistor and routed above the local interconnect structure. The second interconnect structure can be coupled to a source/drain terminal of the second transistor and routed above the local interconnect structure. The third interconnect structure can be routed above the local interconnect structure and at a same interconnect level as the first and second interconnect structures.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chih-Liang Chen, Cheng-Chi Chuang, Chih-Ming Lai, Chia-Tien Wu, Charles Chew-Yuen Young, Hui-Ting Yang, Jiann-Tyng Tzeng, Ru-Gun Liu, Wei-Cheng Lin, Lei-Chun Chou, Wei-An Lai

Publication number: 20220391576Abstract: In some aspects described herein, a computer-based system that is capable of constructing digital documents is provided. In some implementations, a machine learning system is provided that learns certain terms within a document. The terms may be, for example, part of a document that forms a legally-binding contract between two entities. In one implementation of the machine learning system, the machine learning system interoperates within a user interface to show predictions of certain terms within the document to the user. Further, the machine learning system may capture user answers relating to certain terms and provide feedback into the system that learns during operation of the system, improving user interactions, accuracy and reducing the number of user interactions.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: InCloud, LLCInventors: Mitchell Spierer, Hadayatullah Seddiqi, Charles Chi, Alastair Doggett, Roopeswar Kommalapati

Patent number: 8856956Abstract: Some embodiments provide a verification system for automated verification of entities. The verification system automatedly verifies entities using a two part verification campaign. One part verifies that the entity is the true owner of the entity account to be verified. This verification step involves (1) the entity receiving a verification code at the entity account and returning the verification code to the verification system, (2) the entity associating an account that it has registered at a service provider to an account that the verification system has registered at the service provider, (3) both. Another part verifies the entity can respond to communications that are sent to methods of contact that have been previously verified as belonging to the entity. The verification system submits a first communication with a code using a verified method of contact. The verification system then monitors for a second communication to be returned with the code.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2011Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Credibility Corp.Inventors: Jeffrey M. Stibel, Aaron B. Stibel, Peter Delgrosso, Shailen Mistry, Bryan Mierke, Paul Servino, Charles Chi Thoi Le, David Lo, David Allen Lyon

Patent number: 7146055Abstract: An image processing apparatus and method includes a sub-sampler decompression unit that takes an inverse transformation to rebuild 411 sub sampled luminance/chrominance color space components which are than transformed into full resolution luminance/chrominance color space pixel data. The luminance/chrominance color space pixel data is then separated into individual luminosity and chromaticity components which are scaled. A scaling unit responsive to the sub-sampler decompression unit applies different processing algorithms to the various ones of the luminance and chrominance components to scale the main luminosity component utilizing a spacial algorithm while simultaneously scaling the minor chromaticity components utilizing a perceptual algorithm. The scaled full resolution luminance and chrominance color space components are then converted into RGB color space for display purposes.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2004Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventor: Charles Chi Jia

Patent number: 7092564Abstract: An image processing apparatus and method for analyzing a digital image and automatically generating a visually attractive frame for the image. A data set for the image is analyzed, preferably in color space, to determine one or more image components representing dominant colors in the image. The components are characterized individually, and then these individual component characterizations are used to characterize the image overall. Based on the overall image characteristics, the framing scheme parameters are determined and used in turn to generate the attributes of a visually attractive frame for the image. A data set for the framed image is then generated, which may be sent to an imaging device for display or printing, or simply stored as a new data set for later use. The user has the ability to modify the rules that determine the framing scheme parameters so as to adjust the framed image if desired.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2001Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Charles Chi Jia, Cindy Sansom-Wai, Laura X.
