  • Publication number: 20230232073
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An apparatus includes at least one memory, instructions, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions. The processor circuitry executes the instructions to deduplicate at least one of panel data, automatic content recognition data, or return path data to generate a deduplicated data set. The processor circuitry executes the instructions to generate a graph that connects devices identified in the deduplicated data set, the devices connected based on at least one of a shared intemet protocol addresses, a shared location identifier, or a common device identifier assigned by a common device identification algorithm. The processor circuitry executes the instructions to remove one or more connections based on an inconsistency between the one or more connections and personally identifiable information.

  • Publication number: 20230185196
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and apparatuses for exposing an organic metal-oxide film to a blanket UV treatment prior to a lithographic patterning operation. A blanket UV treatment may be used to shift a solubility curve of the film, such that a lower EUV dose may be used to pattern the film. Additionally, a blanket UV treatment may be used after development to further cure the film.

  • Publication number: 20230186071
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that utilize machine-learning models to classify content items and automatically organize the content items within a file structure according to their content item classifications. For instance, a content item classification system generates one or more content item classification models to determine classifications for content items and/or folders. In some instances, the classification system detects when new content items are added to a smart folder, determines destination folders to which the content items belong based on classifying the content items, and automatically moves the content items accordingly. In various instances, the classification system generates and utilizes a classification model to organize content items into dynamically-generated folders.

  • Publication number: 20230168947
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for updating a core allocation among processes of a gateway datapath executing on a gateway computing device having multiple cores. The gateway datapath processes include a first set of data message processing processes to which a first set of the cores are allocated and a second set of processes to which a second set of the cores are allocated in a first core allocation. Based on data regarding usage of the cores, the method determines a second core allocation that allocates a third set of the cores to the first set of processes and a fourth set of the cores to the second set of processes. The method updates a load balancing operation to load balance received data messages over the third set of cores rather than the first set of cores. The method reallocates the cores from the first allocation to the second allocation.

  • Publication number: 20230157610
    Abstract: Multiple circuits in a computing device can share one or more conductive elements. The use of the conductive element can vary by circuit, such as an antenna radiator for a radio frequency (RF) circuit or an electrode for an electrocardiography (ECG) circuit. The circuitry sharing a conductive element can utilize signals obtained over different frequency ranges. Those ranges can be used to select decoupling circuitry, or elements, that can enable the respective circuits to obtain signals over a respective frequency range, excluding signals over one or more other frequency ranges corresponding to other circuitry sharing the circuit. Such an approach allows for concurrent independent operation of the circuitry sharing a conductive element.

  • Publication number: 20220344136
    Abstract: A metal-containing photoresist film may be deposited on a semiconductor substrate using a dry deposition technique. Unintended metal-containing photoresist material may form on internal surfaces of a process chamber during deposition, bevel and backside cleaning, baking, development, or etch operations. An in situ dry chamber clean may be performed to remove the unintended metal-containing photoresist material by exposure to an etch gas. The dry chamber clean may be performed at elevated temperatures without striking a plasma. In some embodiments, the dry chamber clean may include pumping/purging and conditioning operations.
