Abstract: An embodiment interfacial bonding test structure may include a first substrate having a first planar surface, a second substrate having a second planar surface that is parallel to the first planar surface, a first semiconductor die, and a second semiconductor die, each semiconductor die bonded between the first substrate and the second substrate thereby forming a sandwich structure. The first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die may be bonded to the first surface with a first adhesive and may be bonded to the second surface with a second adhesive. The first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die may be displaced from one another by a first separation along a direction parallel to the first planar surface and the second planar surface. The second substrate may include a notch having an area that overlaps with an area of the first separation in a plan view.

Abstract: Voice quality enhancement is performed in the network directly on the bit stream of encoded speech in order to avoid additional speech decoding/encoding in the network signal path. Partial or complete decoding is used to analyze the speech signal and to provide information to a bit-stream based speech processing unit. In general, only selected bits are modified in the bit stream, e.g., the excitation gain or the vocal tract parameters, while the remaining bits remain unchanged. No decoding and encoding is required in the network signal path and, as such, tandem free operation is supported. In one exemplary embodiment, voice quality enhancements such as noise compensation, noise reduction, automatic level control, and acoustic echo control are performed on the bit stream.

Abstract: A system and method for information searching comprising determination of, in fine granularity, a Community of Interest (COI), further data mining in search results, using at least one of COI and expert preferences to identify important knowledge, formulation and manipulation of results, and summarization of search results into a document like entity with dynamic attributes described. More particularly, the invention relates to a system and method for providing interactive dialogue and iterative search functions to find information on a large network of servers such as the world wide web.

Abstract: The classification of a signal on a telephone line can be based on its short term average energy level; nonspeech (data or signalling) as high level; speech as medium level, and noise as low level. A common use for speech detectors occurs with a time assignment speech interpolation (TASI) system. A speech detector extends a trunk activity signal (TAS) for indicating whether energy or noise is detected on a trunk. Responsive to the TAS signal, a processor processes a signal on the trunk. On occasion, it may be desirable to process different energy signals according to different methodologies. For example, during overload, a TASI system may truncate bits of a speech signal and not truncate bits of a nonspeech signal. For classifying energy signals as between speech signals and nonspeech signals, the instant classifier includes an arrangement for extracting at least one feature, or property, such as the short term power of the signal to be classified.
