  • Patent number: 11935809
    Abstract: A cost-effective process and structure is provided for a thermal dissipation element for semiconductor device packages incorporating antennas that can incorporate RF/EMI shielding from the antenna elements. Certain embodiments provide incorporated antenna element structures as part of the same process. These features are provided using a selectively-plated thermal dissipation structure that is formed to provide shielding around semiconductor device dies that are part of the package. In some embodiments, the thermal dissipation structure is molded to the semiconductor device, thereby permitting a thermally efficient close coupling between a device die requiring thermal dissipation and the dissipation structure itself.

  • Patent number: 11934793
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for training an embedding space for content comprehension and response includes, for each layer of a hierarchical taxonomy having at least two layers including respective words resulting in layers of varying complexity, determining a set of words associated with a layer of the hierarchical taxonomy, determining a question answer pair based on a question generated using at least one word of the set of words and at least one content domain, determining a vector representation for the generated question and for content related to the at least one content domain of the question answer pair, and embedding the question vector representation and the content vector representations into a common embedding space where vector representations that are related, are closer in the embedding space than unrelated embedded vector representations. Requests for content can then be fulfilled using the trained, common embedding space.

  • Publication number: 20240077986
    Abstract: An Adaptive Tangible User Interface (ATUI) for use in an extended reality environment in which tangible interfaces are composed in real time based on identified affordances of existing objects in the physical environment and the input tasks of a user. An extended reality system can be provided with instructions executable by one or more processors to perform processing including: generating a representation of the real-world environment within a field of view of the user; identifying physical objects within the real-world environment; generating a set of possible performable gestures afforded by available object affordance factors; determining potential input tasks; composing performable gestures for the potential input tasks; and selecting a physical object for use as an adaptive tangible user interface. Techniques for designing a virtual user interface, overlaying the virtual user interface on a selected ATUI physical object, and maintaining alignment of the virtual user interface, are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20140249424
    Abstract: Factor retrieving is a major approach for pulse wave analysis. Stiffness index and cardiac output are widely used factors for cardiac risk detection. Research has been done on clinical pulse wave data which are collected by pulse oximeter. The result shows that collected factors have a positive correlation with certain cardiac risks. Some adjustments have been applied on the algorithms that increase the significance. In addition to the factor based analysis, other signal processing techniques for pulse waveforms are included such as bispectrum estimation, Wavelet transform, and weighted dynamic time warping. Bispectrum estimation and Wavelet transform have meaningful features of pulse waveforms with some special shapes. Weighted dynamic time warping compares the similarity of waveforms. It also includes medical significance into the calculation by adjusting the weight vector. This algorithm has higher accuracy when providing more samples to compare.
