Abstract: A secured virtual container is enabled to securely store personal data corresponding to a user, where such data is inaccessible to processes running outside the secured virtual container. The secured virtual container may also include an execution environment for a machine learning model where the model is securely stored and inaccessible. Personal data may be feature engineered and provided to the machine learning model for training purposes and/or to generate inference values corresponding to the user data. Inference values may thereafter be relayed by a broker application from the secured virtual container to applications external to the container. Applications may perform hyper-personalization operations based at least in part on received inference values. The broker application may enable external applications to subscribe to notifications regarding availability of inference values. The broker may also provide inference values in response to a query.

Abstract: The present invention features new waveguide layouts for input, redirection (expansion), and output holograms that minimize cross talk between colors and allow all three colors to reside in a single waveguide. The use of multiple incoupling holograms that diffract different colors of light in different directions, or along different paths, through a waveguide substrate advantageously provides for a reduction of cross-talk between the colors of a holographic image. In a square-shaped design, red, green, and blue input and output holograms approximately overlay on top of each other. The green redirection hologram is laterally separated from the red and blue redirection holograms. Using this square-shape design, the light beams for the three colors are separated into two paths propagating from input to output holograms.

Abstract: Touchscreen devices, designed with an assumed range of user abilities and interaction patterns, often present challenges for individuals with diverse abilities to operate independently. Prior efforts to improve accessibility through tools or algorithms necessitated alterations to touchscreen hardware or software, making them inapplicable for the large number of existing legacy devices. This disclosure introduces a hardware interaction proxy that performs physical interactions on behalf of users while allowing them to continue utilizing accessible interfaces, such as screen readers and assistive touch on smartphones, for interface exploration and command input. The proxy maintains an interface model for accurate target localization and utilizes exchangeable actuators for physical actuation across a variety of device types, effectively reducing user workload and minimizing the risk of mistouch.

Abstract: A medium voltage transistor of a level shifter circuit may include a p-well region in a substrate. Moreover, the medium voltage transistor may include an n-type lightly-doped source/drain (NLDD) region in which an N+ source/drain region of the medium voltage transistor is included. The light doping in the NLDD region enables a threshold voltage (Vi) to be reduced while enabling medium voltage operation at the N+ source/drain region. To reduce the amount of current leakage in the medium voltage transistor due to the light doping in the NLDD region, a buffer layer may be included over and/or on a portion of the NLDD region under a gate structure of the medium voltage transistor. The NLDD region and the thermal region of the medium voltage transistor enables the threshold voltage of the medium voltage transistor while maintaining the same current leakage performance or reducing current leakage in the medium voltage transistor.
