Abstract: A computer-implemented process is programmed to process a source input, determine text enhancements, and present the text enhancements to apply to the sentences dictated from the source input. A text processor may use machine-learning models to process an audio input to generate sentences in a presentable format. An audio input can be processed by an automatic speech recognition model to generate electronic text. The electronic text may be used to generate sentence structures using a normalization model. A comprehension model may be used to identify instructions associated with the sentence structures and generate sentences based on the instructions and the sentence structures. An enhancement model may be used to identify enhancements to apply to the sentences. The enhancements may be presented alongside sentences generated by the comprehension model to provide the user an option to select either the enhancements or the sentences.

Abstract: Embodiments include a memory device with an improved calibration circuit. Memory device input/output pins include delay lines for adjusting the delay in each memory input/output signal path. The delay adjustment circuitry includes digital delay lines for adjusting this delay. Further, each digital delay line is calibrated via a digital delay line locked loop which enables adjustment of the delay through the digital delay line in fractions of a unit interval across variations due to differences in manufacturing process, operating voltage, and operating temperature. The disclosed techniques calibrate the digital delay lines by measuring both the high phase and the low phase of the clock signal. As a result, the disclosed techniques compensate for duty cycle distortion by combining the calibration results from both phases of the clock signal. The disclosed techniques thereby result in lower calibration error relative to approaches that measure only one phase of the clock signal.
