  • Patent number: 10658491
    Abstract: A method includes forming a dummy gate electrode layer over a semiconductor region, forming a mask strip over the dummy gate electrode layer, and performing a first etching process using the mask strip as a first etching mask to pattern an upper portion of the dummy gate electrode layer. A remaining portion of the upper portion of the dummy gate electrode layer forms an upper part of a dummy gate electrode. The method further includes forming a protection layer on sidewalls of the upper part of the dummy gate electrode, and performing a second etching process on a lower portion of the dummy gate electrode layer to form a lower part of the dummy gate electrode, with the protection layer and the mask strip in combination used as a second etching mask.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, methods, computer-readable media, techniques, and methodologies for cloud-to-edge data flow migration. More specifically, example embodiments relate to migrating at least a portion of cloud-based data processing functionality from a cloud environment to network edge environment. The functionality can be migrated to anywhere along the network edge. Input data received or generated at a network edge device may be classified according to one or more classification criteria. At least a portion of cloud-based data processing functionality may then be selected for migration to the network edge based at least in part on the classified input data and/or one or more network characteristics. After migration, at least a portion of the input data may be processed by the migrated functionality.

  • Publication number: 20200151567
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for training a sequence generation neural network. One of the methods includes obtaining a batch of training examples; for each of the training examples: processing the training network input in the training example using the neural network to generate an output sequence; for each particular output position in the output sequence: identifying a prefix that includes the system outputs at positions before the particular output position in the output sequence, for each possible system output in the vocabulary, determining a highest quality score that can be assigned to any candidate output sequence that includes the prefix followed by the possible system output, and determining an update to the current values of the network parameters that increases a likelihood that the neural network generates a system output at the position that has a high quality score.

  • Publication number: 20200153766
    Abstract: Described herein is a real-time communications system and a method of its operation. Structured datasets can be used to coordinate events. The data within a structured dataset may change dynamically (i.e., in real-time), and as such, can provide up-to-date information to a user. One or more associations can be used for making changes to the structured dataset(s) to facilitate information gathering in an organized fashion. Examples of the disclosure can further include using interactive elements embedded in a communication to allow a user to communicate information in an easier, more streamlined manner. The system further includes additional features to enhance the communications. These additional features include automatically updating members of a group, allowing the host (or the guest) the ability to send a broadcast message, allowing a guest the ability to create an interactive element embedded into a communication, and the ability to communicate with a system-allocated group.

  • Publication number: 20200151684
    Abstract: A system comprises a non-transitory machine readable storage medium storing instructions and a database identifying a plurality of assets and a state of each asset. The instructions configure a processor for receiving updates to a distributed electronic ledger managed by plural peer processors. Each update includes an event or change affecting one of the assets. The peer processors verify portions of the ledger describing each event or change. At least one of the updates has not yet been recorded in the ledger at a time of the receiving. The processor computes a state of each asset, based on the updates, receives a request for a state of one of the assets; and responds to the request, reflecting each event and change affecting that asset. The response is performed without waiting for the peer processors to verify an update that has not yet been recorded in the ledger.
