  • Publication number: 20250131460
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods provide for automatically generating digital color palettes associated with user interest colors. A method may include receiving, by a computer, a user interest digital color value, retrieving a color palette ruleset having rules to provide Boolean outputs indicating whether a color palette rule is satisfied by candidate color values, applying the color palette ruleset to the user interest color value, and identifying digital color values for a digital color palette associated with the user interest color value. Identifying the digital color values can include: identifying a complement color value to the user interest color, identifying a neutral gray color corresponding to the user interest color, mapping the user interest color, complement color, and neutral gray color in a 3D color plane, and applying triangulation techniques to identify a subset of color values within a triangular range according to the color palette ruleset.

  • Patent number: 12237412
    Abstract: Semiconductor devices, and in particular protection structures for semiconductor devices that include sensor arrangements are disclosed. A semiconductor device may include a sensor region, for example a current sensor region that occupies a portion of an overall active area of the device. The current sensor region may be configured to provide monitoring of device load currents during operation. Semiconductor devices according to the present disclosure include one or more protection structures that are configured to allow the semiconductor devices to withstand transient voltage events without device failure. A protection structure may include an insulating layer that is provided in a transition region between a device region and the sensor region of the semiconductor device. In the example of an insulated gate semiconductor device, the insulating layer of the protection structure may include a material with a greater breakdown voltage than a breakdown voltage of a gate insulating layer.

  • Patent number: 12189824
    Abstract: An integrated circuit chip can provide protection with registers of a register file. A processor can be part of general or security-oriented (e.g., root-of-trust (RoT)) circuitry. In described implementations, the processor includes multiple register blocks for storing multiple register values. The processor also includes multiple integrity blocks for storing multiple integrity codes. A respective integrity block is associated with a respective register block. The respective integrity block can store a respective integrity code that is derived from a respective register value that is stored in the respective register block. The integrity code can enable detection or correction of one or more corrupted bits in the register value. An integrity controller of the processor can monitor the register value regularly or in response to an access by an execution unit. The controller can take a protective action if corruption is detected. This enables information protection to extend to processor execution units.

  • Publication number: 20240332352
    Abstract: A method of analyzing semiconductor wafers includes capturing a first image of a first crystalline material, etching a first surface of the first crystalline material to delineate etch defects in the first crystalline material, and capturing a second image of first crystalline material after etching the first surface of the first crystalline material. Based on the second image, labels of etch defects delineated in the first surface of the first crystalline material are generated. The first image and the labels of etch defects are spatially coordinated to form a defect map identifying one or more defects in the first image based on the delineated etch defects, and based on the defect map and nondestructive data obtained from a second crystalline material, defects in the second crystalline material are identified.

  • Publication number: 20240320704
    Abstract: Systems, methods and media for adaptive real time modeling and scoring are provided. In one example, a system for automatically generating predictive scoring models comprises a trigger component to determine, based on a threshold or trigger, such as a detection of new significant relationships, whether a predictive scoring model is ready for a refresh or regeneration. An automated modeling sufficiency checker receives and transforms user-selectable system input data. The user-selectable system input data may comprise at least one of email, display or social media traffic. An adaptive modeling engine operably connected to the trigger component and modeling sufficiency checker is configured to monitor and identify a change in the input data and, based on an identified change in the input data, automatically refresh or regenerate the scoring model for calculating new lead scores. A refreshed or regenerated predictive scoring model is output.
