  • Patent number: 11940495
    Abstract: An electronic assembly has a host wafer having a first circuit including wafer transistors and passive, non-transistor devices. Chiplets have a second circuit including at least one radio frequency (RF) transistor device. Electrical interconnects are between the chiplets and wafer. The electrical interconnects electrically connect the first circuit to the second circuits. Oscillators that have the wafer transistor, the RF transistor and the electrical interconnects produce a signal for built-in self-test circuits for testing an assembly design of the electronic assembly and speeds of the RF chiplet transistors.

  • Patent number: 11553055
    Abstract: A system that creates and automatically builds one or more entity models that are derived from communication-based information received over a network. Building the entity models uses machine learning, a user interface, a sentiment analyzer, a communication monitoring agent and an automated bot. Bots are created based on a bot template. New communication-based information is analyzed and processed to improve the entity model, to keep the bot up-to-date, and to update other services and products that the entity relies on. The system enables a business to cluster other entities together to assist in identifying competitors. The system provides analytical information about how users journey through an entity model. The system automatically maintains listings such as frequently asked questions. The system works in a networked environment, which may be a distributed network.

  • Patent number: 10993187
    Abstract: A computer implemented method is provided including establishing a value corresponding to a particular user of a device, receiving an indication of a triggering condition of the particular user of the device, the triggering condition being enabled by the device or measurable by the device, and determining the triggering condition has been met by the user via the device. The method further includes modifying the value responsive to determining the triggering condition has been met, determining when the value crosses a particular threshold, and disabling an application or a functional component of the device responsive to the value crossing the particular threshold. A system for implementing the method is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20190304608
    Abstract: Systems and methods of embodiments comprise receiving in real-time data of parameters representing an entity. Micro plots are generated, and each micro plot comprises a plot of the data for a corresponding time period of a multitude of time periods. Each time period is cyclical. A model plot is generated to include the micro plots plotted chronologically according to the time periods. The model plot comprises a continuous helix. A prediction of a state of the entity is generated using characteristics of the model plot.

  • Patent number: 10326877
    Abstract: A processor-implemented system for supporting use of a reduced driving distraction program on a mobile device is disclosed. The system detects whether the mobile device is in a moving vehicle. If so, a driving mode is set in which driving is determined to be protected driving if the reduced distraction program is being followed and unprotected if the reduced distraction program is not being followed. The system then tracks unprotected driving and protected driving and aggregates the unprotected driving and protected driving. A party is then notified regarding the aggregation of unprotected driving and protected driving. Other drivers can be asked to join the reduced driving distraction program and awards can be given to drivers for meeting pre-determined milestones of protected driving. Either the mobile device or a remote computer may aggregate driving and send notifications.

  • Patent number: 10310720
    Abstract: Systems and methods for editing an image file include a server and at least one client device of the server including a display. An imaging module accesses from the server an image file including image content and a header, wherein the header provides information regarding the image file. An editing module receives user edits to the image content and insert information regarding the user edits into the header. The imaging module applies the user edits in an order that is determined based on a weight assigned to each user edit. The imaging module may also access, from the server, an image file including image content and a header thereof, wherein the header provides information regarding the image file and an edit decision list reflecting historical user edits to the image content. The editing module then identifies the edit decision list in the header for application by the imaging module.
