  • Publication number: 20260089840
    Abstract: A circuit board and a fabricating method of the same are provided. The circuit board includes multiple first wiring layers, a plated through hole, a filling material, a cover wiring layer, a second wiring layer and a conductive structure. The plated through hole extends through the first wiring layers and is electrically connected to the first wiring layers. The filling material is disposed in the plated through hole. The cover wiring layer covers the plated through hole and is electrically connected to the plated through hole. The second wiring layer is stacked on the first wiring layers and the cover wiring layer. The conductive structure extends through the cover wiring layer to the filling material from the second wiring layer and is inserted in the filling material. The conductive structure does not penetrate the filling material.

  • Publication number: 20250103796
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to expanding textual content using transfer learning and iterative inference. An example method includes receiving, by a computing device, a snippet of text that contains one or more terms expressed using succinct representations. The method also includes performing an iterative expansion, by the computing device, using the snippet of text as an input snippet of text. The iterative expansion includes receiving, by the computing device, the input snippet of text. The iterative expansion also includes determining, by the computing device using a machine-learned model, a set of intermediate expanded snippets. Each of the intermediate expanded snippets has an associated score based on the machine-learned model.

  • Patent number: 10447985
    Abstract: First and second views of a stereoscopic image are received. In response to determining that the stereoscopic image has a predominance of foreground features, a convergence plane of the stereoscopic image is adjusted to improve a depth resolution of at least one foreground feature within the stereoscopic image for display to a human by a display device. In response to determining that the stereoscopic image has a predominance of background features, the convergence plane is adjusted to position at least most of the stereoscopic image as background features for display to the human by the display device.
