Patent number: 12174881Abstract: Described are systems and methods to determine hair patterns presented in content items. The determined hair patterns may be associated with the content items to facilitate indexing, filtering, etc. of the content items based on the determined hair patterns. In exemplary implementations, a corpus of content items may be associated with an embedding vector that includes a binary representation of the content item. The embedding vectors associated with each content item can be provided as inputs to a trained machine learning model, which can process the embedding vectors to determine one or more hair patterns presented in each content item while eliminating the need for performing image pre-processing prior to determination of the hair pattern(s) presented in the content item.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2023Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: Pinterest, Inc.Inventors: Nadia Fawaz, Anh Tuong Ta, Bhawna Juneja, Rohan Mahadev, Valerie Moy, Dmitry Olegovich Kislyuk, David Ding-Jia Xue, Christopher Lee Schaefbauer, Graham Roth, William Yau, Jordan DiSanto, Ding Zhang, David Voiss

Patent number: 9698080Abstract: A three-dimensional semiconductor device using redundant bonding-conductor structures to make inter-level electrical connections between multiple semiconductor chips is disclosed. A first chip, or other semiconductor substrate, forms a first active area on its upper surface, and a second chip or other semiconductor substrate forms a second active area on its upper surface. According to the present invention, when the second chip has been mounted above the first chip, either face-up or face-down, the first active area is coupled to the second active area by at least one redundant bonding-conductor structure. In one embodiment, each redundant bonding-conductor structure includes at least one via portion that extends completely through the second chip to perform this function. In another, the redundant bonding-conductor structure extends downward to the top level interconnect.

Patent number: 8781796Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating individualized predictions of alertness or performance for human subjects. Alertness or performance predictions may be individualized to incorporate a subject's individual traits and/or individual states. These individual traits and/or individual states (or parameters which represent these individual traits and/or individual states) may be represented by random variables in a mathematical model of human alertness. The mathematical model and/or prediction techniques may incorporate effects of the subject's sleep timing, the subject's intake of biologically active agents (e.g. caffeine) and/or the subject's circadian rhythms. The mathematical model and/or prediction techniques may incorporate feedback from the subject's measured alertness and/or performance.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2008Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Trustees of the Univ. of PennsylvaniaInventors: Christopher Mott, Daniel Mollicone, Hans Van Dongen, Jen-Kuang Huang, David Dinges
