Abstract: Methods form devices by creating openings in sacrificial gates between nanosheet stacks (alternating layers of a first material and channel structures), forming spacers in the openings, and removing the sacrificial gates to leave the spacers. The first material is then removed from between the channel structures. A first work function metal is formed around and between the channel structures. Next, first stacks (of the stacks) are protected with a mask to leave second stacks (of the stacks) exposed. Then, the first work function metal is removed from the second stacks while the first stacks are protected by the mask and the spacers. Subsequently, a second work function metal is formed around and between the channel structures of the second stacks. A gate material is then formed over the first work function metal and the second work function metal.

Abstract: Examples described herein can identify items from third-party or backend services, obtain relevant information for those items, and automatically populate hyperlinks relevant to those items in a draft email. A regular expressions search can be executed on the text of a draft email. When a match is found, the email client can request, from a server, an object associated with the matching expression. The server can obtain the object, using one or more connectors that provide access to a backend system, and provide it to the email client. The email client can extract a URL from the object and enter the URL into a links table stored on the user device. The email client can pull the URL from the links table and use it to automatically generate a hyperlink of the regular expression within the body of the draft email.

Abstract: A first mobile communication device is configured to transmit video and audio content to a second mobile communication device utilizing a server. The first mobile communication device, via the server, transmits a share request or “knock” with the second mobile communication device. The second device must either accept the request or reject the request. If the second mobile communication device accepts the knock, it transmits a share accept message to the server. The first mobile communication device then transmits the video and audio content to the second mobile communication device via the server.

Abstract: A mixed reality system is disclosed that displays 3D content in a container referred to as a “prism,” and also displays a related content item, such as an interactive menu for interacting with the 3D content. To maintain the content item accessible to the user, the system repositions the content item relative to the prism as the user moves relative to the prism. For example, in the context of an annotation toolbar, the system may move the toolbar from one surface of the prism to another in response to the user walking around the prism, entering the prism, or changing a head pose in the prism. In some embodiments, the content item is displayed in a reserved region in which the 3D content is not displayable, such that the 3D content does not interfere with the user's ability to view and access the content item.

Abstract: Similar to other Cloud Service, Solution as Services over Cloud, as single tenant technology, also requires support of agility and flexibility as a fundamental feature of Cloud computing. Different from other Cloud services, the agility and flexibility typically are not triggered by the typical performance metrics, but at the business level of metrics. A causality analysis method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium using a causal graph depicting relationships among observable primitive metrics from infrastructure, middleware, and business metrics and latent business metrics of an application, include identifying a metric value resulting from measuring the system and application metrics, determining an impact of the measurement of the metrics on the business metrics associated with the measurable metrics in the causal graph, and determining an action to take with respect to the impact on the business metric based on the pre-defined business policies.

Abstract: A speech interface device is configured to receive response data from a remote speech processing system for responding to user speech. This response data may be enhanced with information such as remote NLU data. The response data from the remote speech processing system may be compared to local NLU data to improve a speech processing model on the device. Thus, the device may perform supervised on-device learning based on the remote NLU data. The device may determine differences between the updated speech processing model and an original speech processing model received from the remote system and may send data indicating these differences to the remote system. The remote system may aggregate data received from a plurality of devices and may generate an improved speech processing model.

Abstract: A text-to-speech engine creates audio output that includes synthesized speech and one or more media content item snippets. The input text is obtained and partitioned into text sets. A track having lyrics that match a part of one of the text sets is identified. The location of the track's audio that contains the lyric is extracted based on forced alignment data. The extracted audio is combined with synthesized speech corresponding to the remainder of the input text to form audio output.
