The preparation method of the disclosure does not use organic solvents and other substances harmful to the human body, and has the characteristics of safety and health. In addition to VC encapsulation under the acidic condition, the prepared fatty acid-based liposome can play a role in slowly releasing VC.

Abstract: For online audio/video conferencing applications deployed in an open office environment, using shared conference devices, it can be advantageous to define an acoustic fence. A non-participant audio received from outside the acoustic fence can be considered noise and filtered out before transmission of an audio signal to a far end recipient. Three suppression stages are used to filter the non-participant audio. The first suppression stage uses beamformers for suppression. The second suppression stage is mask-based, and the third suppression stage is reference-based. The three suppression stages filter out non-participant audio signals, having a wide range of frequencies.

Abstract: Virtual reality and augmented reality bring increasing demand for 3D content creation. In an effort to automate the generation of 3D content, artificial intelligence-based processes have been developed. However, these processes are limited in terms of the quality of their output because they typically involve a model trained on limited 3D data thereby resulting in a model that does not generalize well to unseen objects, or a model trained on 2D data thereby resulting in a model that suffers from poor geometry due to ignorance of 3D information. The present disclosure jointly uses both 2D and 3D data to train a machine learning model to be able to generate 3D content from a single 2D image.

Abstract: Methods and systems for media trend detection and maintenance are provided herein. A set of media items each having common media characteristics is identified. A set of pose values is determined for each respective media item of the set of media items. Each pose value is associated with a particular predefined pose for objects depicted by the set of media items. A set of distance scores is calculated. Each distance score represents a distance between the respective set of pose values determined for a media item and a respective set of pose values determined for an additional media item. A coherence score is determined for the set of media items based on the calculated set of distance scores. Responsive to a determination that the coherence score satisfies one or more coherence criteria, a determination is made that the set of media items corresponds to a media trend of a platform.

Abstract: Methods for isolating two adjacent transistors are disclosed. A substrate has a first semiconducting fin on a first region and a second semiconducting fin on a second region, and the first semiconducting fin and the second semiconducting fin contact each other at a jog region. A dummy gate within or adjacent the jog region is removed to expose a portion of the first semiconducting fin and form an isolation volume. Etching is performed to remove the exposed portion of the first semiconducting fin and create a trench in the substrate. The trench and the isolation volume are filled with at least one dielectric material to form an electrically isolating structure between the first region and the second region. Additional dummy gates in each region can be removed and replaced with an electrically conductive material to form two adjacent transistors electrically isolated from each other.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for retrieval augmented generation. A neural network based language model may be provided a question as a user input. Based on the user input, semantically diverse queries may be generated for retrieval from diverse data sources.

The retrieve information may be ranked so that the most relevant information is used by the language model in generating an answer to the question in the user input. A non-retrieval based answer generated by the language model may be utilized in some embodiments in generating the final answer.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods for forming a source/drain extension. In one embodiment, a method for forming an nMOS device includes forming a gate electrode and a gate spacer over a first portion of a semiconductor fin, removing a second portion of the semiconductor fin to expose a side wall and a bottom, forming a silicon arsenide (Si:As) layer on the side wall and the bottom, and forming a source/drain region on the Si:As layer. During the deposition of the Si:As layer and the formation of the source/drain region, the arsenic dopant diffuses from the Si:As layer into a third portion of the semiconductor fin located below the gate spacer, and the third portion becomes a doped source/drain extension region. By utilizing the Si:As layer, the doping of the source/drain extension region is controlled, leading to reduced contact resistance while reducing dopants diffusing into the channel region.
