  • Publication number: 20240028840
    Abstract: A supervised learning processing (SLP) system and method provide cooperative operation of a network of supervised learning processors to concurrently distribute supervised learning processor training, generate predictions, provide prediction driven responses to input objects, and provide operational sequencing to concurrently control and distribute supervised learning processor training and provide predictive responses to input data. The SLP system can dynamically sequence SLP subsystem operations to improve resource utilization, training quality, and/or processing speed. A system monitor-controller can dynamically determine if process environmental data indicates initiation of dynamic subsystem processing sequencing. Concurrently training SLP's provides accurate predictions of input objects and responses thereto and enhances the network by providing high quality value predictions and responses and avoiding potential training and operational delays.

  • Publication number: 20220270892
    Abstract: An inorganic substrate with an improved via shape and methods for facilitating formation of such improved via shape are disclosed. A double-sided opening process may be applied to an inorganic substrate to form openings at the ends of a damage track previously formed in the inorganic substrate. One side of the inorganic substrate may then be sealed, such as by being temporarily bonded to a carrier or blocking substrate, so that a single-sided opening process may be applied to the other unsealed or unblocked surface of the inorganic substrate. The single-sided opening process may enlarge at least one of the openings formed by the double-sided opening process and may enlarge a channel between the openings to form a via having an advantageous shape.

  • Publication number: 20220246421
    Abstract: Processed inorganic wafers and processing a wafer stack including an abrasive process are disclosed. A wafer stack may be formed at least by performing a temporary bonding process to temporarily bond at least a first inorganic wafer to a first surface of a handle wafer. The handle wafer may include at least one inorganic wafer, and the temporary bonding process may include formation of an adhesion layer between the first inorganic wafer and the first surface of the handle wafer. The adhesion layer may include a vacuum deposited carbonaceous film with a thickness between 1 nm and 100 nm, inclusive. An abrasive process may be applied to at least part of the wafer stack, and the abrasive process may reduce a thickness of the first inorganic wafer of the wafer stack. The first inorganic wafer may be debonded from the handle wafer after applying the abrasive process.

  • Patent number: 11163568
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which a system writes a set of data into a register file entry that includes a first memory array and a second memory array. The register file entry also includes a set of first write ports corresponding to the first memory array and a set of second write ports corresponding to the second memory array. The system configures a selection bit based on determining that a selected one of the set of first write ports is utilized to store the set of data in the first memory array. In turn, the system reads the set of data out of the first memory array based on the configured selection bit.

  • Publication number: 20210192131
    Abstract: A machine learning of response selection to structured data input enables a machine to flexibly and responsively actively engage with a response recipient through a device, such as any electronic device connected to a data network. A system of one or more computers can be configured to respond to structured language messages, such as a textual messages, received from user devices with one or more templates that have been ranked using predetermined criteria including a machine learning classification of a momentum of a structured language message using a machine learning model. The momentum classification is correlated with templates. A ranking engine ranks the selection of candidate response templates in accordance with ranking criteria, including the momentum classifications for the candidate response templates. A highest ranked candidate response template is selected to provide a response to the textual messages received from the user devices.
