  • Patent number: 11359774
    Abstract: The invention describes a flexible lighting strip comprising a multitude of light-emitting diodes arranged in at least two groups. Each group comprises at least two light-emitting diodes arranged in an electrical series connection. The at least two groups are arranged in parallel to an anode track and a cathode track. The at least two groups are arranged in a longitudinal arrangement such that a last light-emitting diode of a first group is arranged next to a first light-emitting diode of a second group. The anode track and the cathode track each consist of a wire line having substantially circular wires that are bent to receive compressive and/or tensile stress. The electrical circuit provides a third wire line having a substantially circular wire as a center line arranged between the outer lines. At least one light-emitting diode of every group is mounted on an interposer which contracts all three wire lines.

  • Publication number: 20220051975
    Abstract: An example via contact patterning method includes providing a pattern of alternating trench contacts and gates over a support structure. For each pair of adjacent trench contacts and gates, a trench contact is electrically insulated from an adjacent gate by a dielectric material and/or multiple layers of different dielectric materials, and the gates are recessed with respect to the trench contacts. The method further includes wrapping a protective layer of one or more dielectric materials, and a sacrificial helmet material on top of the trench contacts to protect them during the via contact patterning and etch processes for forming via contacts over one or more gates. Such a method may advantageously allow increasing the edge placement error margin for forming via contacts of metallization stacks.

  • Patent number: 11250488
    Abstract: Various embodiments attempt to predict items in a new product category that may be of interest to a particular user when the user has not interacted with or made purchases in that product category. In accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure, this is accomplished by training machine learning models, such as deep neural networks, using both the historical purchase data from the particular user as well as the historical purchase data from many other users to infer what new category of items the particular user might be interested in. In some embodiments, the previous purchase data of the other users are used to construct a graph, and the graph is used to train the machine learning model rather than the raw data. The graph can represent the entirety of the previous purchase data with less actual data, thereby requiring less memory and other computational resources.
