  • Patent number: 12125258
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a distributed retrieval method performed by a distributed retrieval system including a retrieval node and an access node. The retrieval node receives a retrieval request forwarded by an access node, at least two video memory blocks are searched for matching features matching a to-be-detected feature of an image, each video memory block being a unique physical storage unit with a fixed length, and then returns retrieval results to the access node, the retrieval results being used for indicating the features matching the to-be-detected feature. Because cache spaces are allocated between the at least two video memory blocks using a blockchain structure, the features can be continuously stored in the video memory blocks, thereby overcoming the problem of data discretization brought about by a storage hole caused by deletion in the related art.

  • Patent number: 8093157
    Abstract: Removing photoresist from a workpiece is described when a region of tungsten is exposed. A plasma is generated from a gas input consisting essentially of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas in a predetermined ratio. The plasma causes the photoresist to be removed from the workpiece while the region of tungsten is left substantially unmodified. The ratio of the hydrogen to oxygen can be adjusted to a particular value which causes the photoresist to be removed at about a maximum removal rate that corresponds to a minimum tungsten loss rate of about zero. Polysilicon oxidation in the presence of tungsten is described with little or no tungsten loss.

  • Patent number: 7799685
    Abstract: In a technique for fabricating an integrated circuit to include an active device structure which supports an electrical interconnect structure, a photoresist layer is used prior to forming an electrical interconnect structure on the active device structure. The photoresist and related residues are removed by exposing the photoresist and exposed regions of the active device structure to one or more reactive species that are generated using a gas mixture including hydrogen gas, as a predominant source of the reactive species, in a plasma source such that the photoresist and residues are continuously exposed to hydrogen-based reactive species. An associated system architecture is described which provides for a substantial flow of hydrogen gas in the process chamber.
