Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for multimodal enhancement of interactions in conversation service applications include a server that establishes a chat-based communication session between a conversation service application and a client computing device. Query input is captured from a user during the session. The server converts an audio segment corresponding to a video into a video transcript using speech recognition, and determines a transcript portion for the video that is responsive to the query input using a dense passage retriever model. The server selects video frames from the video that correspond to the transcript portion and determines, for the selected frames, a predicted relevancy between the selected frame and the query input. The server generates a response to the query input comprising the selected frames based upon the relevancy. The server transmits the response to the client device for display.

Abstract: A trench gate silicon carbide metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) device and a fabrication method thereof. A second conductive heavily doped layer at the bottom corner of a trench gate is electrically connected to a second conductive heavily doped layer on another side edge of the trench gate through a layout design, which ensures a ground potential during voltage blocking state. This design protects the insulating layer in the trench gate and the Schottky contact in a junction barrier Schottky (JBS) diode, thereby enhancing device reliability. Moreover, in a diode operating mode, P+ on the left and right sides of the trench gate are connected to a positive potential. When the P+/N? junction is activated, the conductivity modulation can be implemented through hole injection, thereby improving the device's ability to withstand surge current impacts.

Abstract: Described apparatuses and methods facilitate bus training with multiple dice, such as multiple memory dice. A controller can communicate with multiple dice to perform bus training by sending a test pattern and receiving in return a feedback pattern indicative of the bits detected by the dice. Because suitable signal timing can differ between dice, even those using the same bus, a controller may train each die separately from the others. In some situations, however, individualized training may be infeasible. To accommodate such situations, logic associated with two or more dice can combine, using at least one logical operation, bits as detected from the test pattern into a combined feedback pattern. A timing parameter that is jointly suitable for multiple dice can be determined, and the bus training may be concluded, responsive to the combined feedback pattern matching the test pattern. The multiple dice may be stacked or linked.
