  • Patent number: 12289927
    Abstract: Image sensors, isolation structures, and techniques of fabrication are provided. An image sensor includes a source of electromagnetic radiation disposed on a substrate, a pixel array disposed on the substrate and thermally coupled with source of electromagnetic radiation, and an isolation structure disposed on the substrate between the source of electromagnetic radiation and the pixel array. The isolation structure can define a first reflective surface oriented on a first bias relative to a lateral axis of the pixel array and a second reflective surface oriented on a second bias relative to the lateral axis. The isolation structure can be configured to attenuate residual electromagnetic radiation reaching a proximal region of the pixel array by pairing a first reflection and a second reflection of the electromagnetic radiation by the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface.

  • Publication number: 20250131940
    Abstract: A data-driven audio codec system that involves producing multiple compressed streams comprising encoded information (e.g., codeword indices) at different time scales (time intervals or frequency). This may allow for separation of different properties of speech, such as content and aspects of style (prosody), into the different compressed streams without explicitly enforcing it, i.e., in an unsupervised manner. Speech audio is encoded to produce a plurality of encoded streams comprising encoded information for the speech audio at different time scales. The plurality of encoded streams are decoded to generate output audio.

  • Patent number: 12277171
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product are provided for training a neural network for finding queried videos. Two pairs of video clips and associated text are obtained from a first dataset and a second dataset. The first dataset is used to train two video encoders by providing the video clips to the encoders as input and providing the outputs to a cosine similarity calculator. The second dataset is used to train a multi-mentor paradigm with two mentors. A first mentor and a second mentor are each provided the pair of textual data inputs. The first mentor provides a similarity value comparison, and the second mentor provides a word mover distance. Using the output from the multi-mentor paradigm and the encoders, a contrastive loss is calculated and used to provide contrastive learning of video features by differentiating similarity and dissimilarity of the video clips.
