  • Publication number: 20240143070
    Abstract: In examples, an electronic device comprises a camera to capture an image of a space and a processor coupled to the camera. The processor is to receive the image of the space from the camera; identify a person in the image and a presentation device in the image; identify a head position of the person based on the image; determine whether the person is viewing the presentation device based on the head position; and perform an action relating to the presentation device based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 11954453
    Abstract: Systems and methods for natural language generation by an edge computing device are disclosed. In one embodiments, a method comprises: receiving, by an edge computing device, event data from an edge event; determining, by the edge computing device, that a network connection to a cloud server is not available; extracting, by the edge computing device, features of the event data; predicting, by a local neural network of the edge computing device, an action for the edge computing device to take based on the features of the event data, wherein the action is associated with a confidence level; and determining, by the edge computing device, whether the confidence level meets a predetermined threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11948820
    Abstract: The present invention provides a latching guide structure arranged inside a door of semiconductor carrier. The latching guide structure comprises an upper latching part, a lower latching part, at least one elastic unit and a driver. Moreover, a first guiding portion of the upper latching part is matched with a second guiding portion of the lower latching part, therefore to define the installation space for the at least one elastic unit. On the other hand, the driver simultaneously actuates an upper actuating unit of the first guiding portion and a lower actuating unit of the second guiding portion to linearly move in reverse direction therebetween. The range of the linear motion of the upper actuating unit and the lower actuating unit represents the compression or extension of the at least one elastic unit, determining to control the open/close status of the upper latching part and the lower latching part.

  • Publication number: 20240096998
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method for forming metallization layers that include a ruthenium metal liner and a cobalt metal fill. The method includes depositing a first dielectric on a substrate having a gate structure and source/drain (S/D) structures, forming an opening in the first dielectric to expose the S/D structures, and depositing a ruthenium metal on bottom and sidewall surfaces of the opening. The method further includes depositing a cobalt metal on the ruthenium metal to fill the opening, reflowing the cobalt metal, and planarizing the cobalt and ruthenium metals to form S/D conductive structures with a top surface coplanar with a top surface of the first dielectric.

  • Patent number: 7299603
    Abstract: A method of operating a front opening shipping box is provided. The operating method comprises providing a front opening shipping box. The front opening shipping box includes at least a container body, at least an air extraction pipeline and at least a gas inlet pipeline. The container body has at least two openings. The air extraction pipeline is disposed on the surface of the container body and linked to the container body through one of the two openings. The gas inlet pipeline is also disposed on the surface of the container body and linked to the container body through the outer opening. Then, a number of wafers are loaded inside the container body. Next, through the air extraction pipeline and the gas inlet pipeline, air is pumped out from the inside of the container box while the gas is injected into the container body simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 6241088
    Abstract: A compact disk receiving device includes a cover, a base pivotably connected to the cover, and a support plate located between the cover and the base. A shaft is rotatably engaged between two first lugs extending from a side of the cover. The shaft has a first hook member and the support plate has a second hook member which is engageable with the first hook member so that the support plate is able to be slid between the cover and the base. An opposite side of the side having the first hook member is an open side so that two shafts can be piled up by inserting the first hook member of one shaft into the open side of the other shaft.
