  • Patent number: 12360782
    Abstract: The embodiments described herein set forth techniques for identifying when a user activates a search application on his or her mobile computing device, and presenting, prior to receiving an input of search parameters from the user, a prediction of one or more applications that the user may be interested in accessing. According to some embodiments, the search application can be configured to interface with an “application prediction engine” each time the search application is activated and query the application prediction engine for a prediction of one or more applications that the user may be interested in accessing. In turn, the application prediction engine can analyze information associated with the applications installed on the mobile computing device to produce the prediction. Using the prediction, the search application can display the predicted one or more applications within a user interface of the search application for selection by the user.

  • Patent number: 12363936
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and fabrication method are described for forming a nanosheet transistor device by forming a nanosheet transistor stack (12-18, 25) of alternating Si and SiGe layers which are selectively processed to form metal-containing current terminal or source/drain regions (27, 28) and to form control terminal electrodes (36A-D) which replace the SiGe layers in the nanosheet transistor stack and are positioned between the Si layers which form transistor channel regions in the nanosheet transistor stack to connect the metal source/drain regions, thereby forming a nanosheet transistor device.

  • Patent number: 12363230
    Abstract: A system for monitoring voice services has a service monitor that is configured to periodically assess the registration state of a voice service provided to a customer. If the service transitions to an unregistered state, the service monitor logs the state change and continues to monitor the service to determine approximately when the service transitions back to a registered state. Thus, over time, the service monitor tracks loss-of-registration (LOR) events and analyzes the history of such LOR events to determine when they are indicative of a network or service problem that warrants further analysis or attention by a user. Using these techniques, the service monitor may be able to detect and, in some cases, diagnose problems that are degrading voices services for one or more customers even before such customers realize that their services are degraded.
