  • Publication number: 20250240873
    Abstract: A multi-lamination stack up structure that separates high speed routing and the power delivery plane. The multi-lamination stack up structure includes M+N layers. The M layers are located on the top of the PCB and focus on high speed design routing. The N layers are located on the bottom of the PCB and are used for the power plane. In one implementation, the PCB uses a through hole or VIA for M+N layers power connection at the chip ball grid array area.

  • Patent number: 12367238
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for a visual and text search interface used to navigate a video transcript. In an example embodiment, a freeform text query triggers a visual search for frames of a loaded video that match the freeform text query (e.g., frame embeddings that match a corresponding embedding of the freeform query), and triggers a text search for matching words from a corresponding transcript or from tags of detected features from the loaded video. Visual search results are displayed (e.g., in a row of tiles that can be scrolled to the left and right), and textual search results are displayed (e.g., in a row of tiles that can be scrolled up and down). Selecting (e.g., clicking or tapping on) a search result tile navigates a transcript interface to a corresponding portion of the transcript.

  • Patent number: 12321944
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a payment device to detect real-time suspicious payment cards. Prior to a transaction, a payment device detects suspicious payment cards based on captured images of the payment card. An alert may be generated upon detection of any suspicious or fraudulent payment card. In some arrangements, institutions may share information regarding suspicious payment cards to prevent fraud. The payment device may utilize machine learning models or machine learning capabilities to detect suspicious payment cards. A characterization score may be generated and used to determine if a payment card is suspicious. The characterization scores may be updated based on different card issuer criteria and transaction use of each payment card.

  • Patent number: 12300272
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for selection of the best image of a particular speaker's face in a video, and visualization in a diarized transcript. In an example embodiment, candidate images of a face of a detected speaker are extracted from frames of a video identified by a detected face track for the face, and a representative image of the detected speaker's face is selected from the candidate images based on image quality, facial emotion (e.g., using an emotion classifier that generates a happiness score), a size factor (e.g., favoring larger images), and/or penalizing images that appear towards the beginning or end of a face track. As such, each segment of the transcript is presented with the representative image of the speaker who spoke that segment and/or input is accepted changing the representative image associated with each speaker.

  • Patent number: 12299401
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for segmenting a transcript into paragraphs. In an example embodiment, a transcript is segmented to start a new paragraph whenever there is a change in speaker and/or a long pause in speech. If any remaining paragraphs are longer than a designated length or duration (e.g., 50 or 100 words), each of those paragraphs is segmented using dynamic programming to minimize a cost function that penalizes candidate paragraphs based on divergence from a target paragraph length and/or that rewards candidate paragraphs that group semantically similar sentences. As such, the transcript is visualized, segmented at the identified paragraphs.

  • Publication number: 20250151198
    Abstract: Techniques to move high current power distribution layers for integrated circuit core power and serializer-deserializer (SERDES) power into a center area of the integrated circuit footprint. This provides a more reliable and higher current distribution into the center of a large integrated circuit footprint, without causing disruption of high speed signal routing or increased signal integrity burden to the high speed signals. Arrangements and methods for routing out the core power area of a main printed circuit board under an integrated circuit and replacing it with a custom power printed circuit board (power plug) that is attached by a metalized paste sintering process. This provides a more reliable and higher current distribution into the center of a large integrated circuit or other high-power component, without causing disruption of high speed signal routing.

  • Publication number: 20250140292
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for cutting down a user's larger input video into an edited video comprising the most important video segments and applying corresponding video effects. Some embodiments of the present invention are directed to adding face-aware scale magnification to the trimmed video (e.g., applying scale magnification to simulate a camera zoom effect that hides shot cuts with respect to the subject's face). For example, as the trimmed video transitions from one video segment to the next video segment, a scale magnification may be applied that zooms in on a detected face at a boundary between the video segments to smooth the transition between video segments.

  • Publication number: 20250140447
    Abstract: Techniques are provided to mitigate serializer-deserializer performance limiting positive/negative (P/N) skew issues in high-speed cable channels. This may be achieved by adding stripes with low/high dielectric constant (dk) material compared to the main dielectric surrounding cable wires. By adding strips/stripes in the main dielectric, a non-homogeneous dielectric structure is created, and this results in greater coupling between the signal conductors in the cable, which in turn reduces skew impact. This may be useful in twinaxial cables as well as stripline printed circuit boards.

  • Publication number: 20250126552
    Abstract: Devices, systems, methods, and processes for feature level power calibration are described herein. Network devices include sensors that generate sensor readings indicative of various device parameters. A calibration logic utilizes the sensor readings and feature permutations associated with the sensor readings to predict a feature level power consumption for all features of the network device. The calibration logic then applies a calibration factor to the predicted feature level power consumption and obtains an actual feature level power consumption. Using the actual feature level power consumption, the calibration logic determines an actual power consumption for feature licenses of the network device. The feature and feature license level power consumption is utilized for determining which features or feature licenses can be deactivated when the device power consumption is outside a threshold limit. Such dynamic deactivation ensures that the network device accurately meets the sustainability goals.
