  • Patent number: 12256162
    Abstract: An image sensor may include an image sensor pixel array. The image sensor pixel array may include active image sensor pixels that generate image data based on incident light and reference pixels that are optically black for generating reference data for noise compensation. Sets of reference pixels in the same row may be coupled to respective shared readout paths in a source follower binning configuration. The shared readout path may be could to downstream readout circuits. The use of shared readout paths for the reference pixels can reduce the number of reference pixel readout paths. If desired, pixel circuitry may be implemented on a first die, while readout circuitry and at least a portion of the reference pixel readout paths may be implemented on a second die mounted to the first die.

  • Publication number: 20250068633
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide query processing techniques for resolving queries in a complex search domain to improve upon traditional search resolutions within such domains. The techniques may include generating a keyword and an embedding representation for an agnostic search query. The keyword representation may be compared against source text attributes within one or more domain channels to generate a plurality of keyword similarity scores between the search query and features within a search domain. The embedding representation may be compared against source embedding attributes within the one or more domain channels to generate a plurality of embedding similarity scores between the search query and the features within the search domain. The keyword and embedding similarity scores may be aggregated to generate aggregated similarity scores for identifying an intermediate query resolution for the search query. The intermediate query resolution may be leveraged to resolve the query.

  • Publication number: 20250062319
    Abstract: A method is provided for pre-forming anode particles for use in lithium ion batteries. The pre-formed anode particles bear a solid electrolyte of a composition that cannot be formed in situ in the battery. The method includes providing a dispersion of anode precursor particles and an additive not found in the battery in a liquid electrolyte solution. Applying a voltage or current across the dispersion forms the solid electrolyte interphase, on the particles. These particles can be used in an electrode of a lithium ion battery.
