  • Publication number: 20250077442
    Abstract: A memory control circuit and a control method of the memory device are provided. The control logic circuit includes a reset circuit, a counter and a comparator. The reset circuit resets a count value corresponding to an accessed memory cell row among memory cell rows of a memory array to a predetermined value. The counter sets the count value to a random value when the count value is equal to the predetermined value. When the count value reaches to a threshold value, the memory control circuit arranges memory cell rows nearby the accessed memory cell row into a mitigation operation.

  • Patent number: 12217232
    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns methods and systems for increasing anonymity and traceability of a digital property management system that manages digital property transactions on a distributed transaction consensus network. The digital property management system comprises a sender's digital property manager and a recipient's digital property manager. The sender's digital property manager further comprises a sender's module and a sender's transaction node and the recipient's digital property manager further comprises a recipient' module and a recipient's transaction node. To increase anonymity of a remittance transaction between, sender's module is not allowed to access a recipient's virtual identification. Thus, recipient's module generates a token to temporarily replace a recipient's virtual identification. To increase anonymity, an encrypted label is generated for each sub-transaction to identify sub-transactions and their sequence in the same remittance set.

  • Patent number: 12205596
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for generating and using text-to-speech (TTS) data for improved speech recognition models. A main model is trained with keyword independent baseline training data. In some instances, acoustic and language model sub-components of the main model are modified with new TTS training data. In some instances, the new TTS training is obtained from a multi-speaker neural TTS system for a keyword that is underrepresented in the baseline training data. In some instances, the new TTS training data is used for pronunciation learning and normalization of keyword dependent confidence scores in keyword spotting (KWS) applications. In some instances, the new TTS training data is used for rapid speaker adaptation in speech recognition models.
