  • Patent number: 11966156
    Abstract: A system for mask design repair may develop a simulation-based model of a layer thickness after one or more process steps for fabricating features on a sample, develop a transformed model of the fabrication process that emulates the simulation-based model and has a faster evaluation speed than the simulation-based model, and where the inputs to the transformed model include the input mask design, and where the outputs of the transformed model include one or more output parameters associated with fabrication of the input mask design as well as one or more sensitivity metrics describing sensitivities of the one or more output parameters to variations of the input mask design. The system may further receive a candidate mask design and generate a repaired mask design based on the transformed model and the candidate mask design.

  • Publication number: 20240076712
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for simple, instrument-free and sensitive methods that enable rapid, point-of-care detection of nucleic acid molecules of interest. This is based on a surprising discovery that the relative efficiencies of amplification and CRISPR-based cleavage and detection can be tuned to favor amplification until sufficient amplified products are generated to enable detection. Example approaches include design of guide RNA and primers to target nonoptimal PAM sequences, or sequence-engineering Cas nucleases to reduce activities informing a ribonucleoprotein with the guide RNA or binding to or cleaving the substrate nucleic acid.

  • Publication number: 20230041552
    Abstract: Techniques for improving a user video game experience are described. In an example, a computer system accesses videos showing separate completions of an activity by a plurality of video game players. From a definition of the activity, it is determined that the activity is a parent of sub-activities. Links to video portions of the videos are generated, wherein each video portion corresponds to a sub-activity. A score is generated for each video portion based on a relevance of each video portion to a user. The links are presented in a user interface to the user based on the score for each video portion, wherein upon selection of a first link, the user interface displays a first video to the user starting at a first video portion showing a completion of a sub-activity by a video game player.

  • Patent number: 11269914
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating reports reflecting a visualization of, e.g., a dataset on which data analysis has been performed. The data analysis performed on the dataset may be an aggregation of data analysis functionality provided by applications or tools. Dataset visualization is realized in a workspace implemented by a separate application or tool. Potential conflicts regarding updating one or more elements of the dataset are reconciled by implementing a dual operational transform system and method. A global state of the dataset may be determined by a first operational transform system and method, while a local state of the dataset may be determined by a second operational transform system and method. The local state of the dataset may be updated through operational transforms exchanged between the first and second operational transform systems that align the local state of the dataset with the global state of the dataset.
