  • Publication number: 20250118060
    Abstract: Methods and systems for media trend identification of content sharing platforms are provided herein. A set of audiovisual embeddings that represent audiovisual features of a media item is obtained. A set of textual embeddings that represent textual features of the media item is obtained. The obtained set of audiovisual embeddings and the obtained set of textual embeddings are provided as an input to an artificial intelligence (AI) model trained to predict whether a respective media item is associated with one or more media trends of a platform based on given embeddings for the media item. One or more outputs of the AI model are obtained. A determination is made, based on the one or more outputs of the AI model, whether the media item is associated with the one or more media trends of the platform.

  • Publication number: 20250064383
    Abstract: Systems and methods for mapping wound features of a wound bed and also detecting degradation of electrode or connectivity performances are provided. Electrical measurements are collected from an array of electrodes which apply electrical signals to a periwound tissue outside the wound bed. The electrical measurements are processed to generate an impedance map of the wound bed, which is converted to maps conveying spatial distributions of clinical metrics.

  • Patent number: 12235577
    Abstract: Methods of forming an array of patterns on a substrate are provided. An array of protective tiles formed from a protectant resin is provided to cover an array of sub-regions on the substrate. An array of patterns is formed on the substrate by sequentially repeating steps (i) and (ii) for each sub-region: (i) removing the protective tile from one of the sub-regions to expose the first major surface underneath; and (ii) forming a pattern on the exposed first major surface within the one of the sub-regions.

  • Patent number: 12229945
    Abstract: A template for assigning the most probable root causes for wafer defects. The bin map data for a subject wafer can be compared with bin map data for prior wafers to find wafers with similar issues. A probability can be determined as to whether the same root cause should be applied to the subject wafer, and if so, the wafer can be labeled with that root cause accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20250056920
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides devices and methods for repairing dice during micro-LED display fabrication. The devices include a backplane. The backplane has a plurality of backplane electrodes. Each backplane electrode includes a first material. A plurality of micro-LEDs having a plurality of micro-LED electrodes is included in the device. Each micro-LED electrode includes a second material. Each micro-LED electrode is bonded to each backplane electrode with an alloy of the first material and the second material therebetween. At least one backplane electrode is bonded to the micro-LED electrode via a repair material. The device includes a plurality of subpixel isolation (SI) structures formed over the backplane. The SI structures define wells of sub-pixels. Each well includes a respective micro-LED between adjacent SI structures. The sub-pixels have a color conversion material disposed in the wells.

  • Patent number: 12221610
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to RNAi agents, for example, double stranded RNAi agents, able to inhibit HIF-2 alpha (EPAS1) gene expression. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions that include HIF-2 alpha RNAi agents and methods of use thereof. The HIF-2 alpha RNAi agents disclosed herein may be linked or conjugated to targeting ligands (such as compounds that have affinity for integrins, including alpha-v-beta-3 and alpha-v-beta-5 integrins) and pharmacokinetic (PK) enhancers, to facilitate the delivery to cells and tissues, including to clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) cells and tumors. Delivery of compositions comprising the HIF-2 alpha RNAi agents in vivo provides for inhibition of HIF-2 alpha gene expression. The HIF-2 alpha RNAi agents can be used in methods of treatment of various diseases and disorders, including ccRCC.

  • Publication number: 20200380331
    Abstract: In the embodiments described herein, a RFID enabled license plate is constructed by using the license plate, or a retro-reflective layer formed thereon as part of the resonator configured to transmit signals generated by and RFID chip integrated with the license plate. Such an RFID enabled license plate can include a metal license plate with a slot formed in the metal license plate, and a RFID tag module positioned in the slot. The RFID tag module can include a chip and a loop, and the loop can be coupled with the metal license plate, e.g., via inductive or conductive coupling. In this manner, the metal license plate can be configured to act as a resonator providing increased performance.
