  • Publication number: 20220237405
    Abstract: A data recognition apparatus and a recognition method are provided. The data recognition apparatus includes a data augmentation device, a feature extractor, and a comparator. The data augmentation device receives a plurality of target information and performs augmentation on each of the target information to generate a plurality of augmented target information. The feature extractor receives queried information and the augmented target information to extract features of the augmented target information and the queried information to respectively generate a plurality of augmented target feature values and a queried feature value. The comparator generates a recognition result according to the queried feature value and the augmented target feature values.

  • Patent number: 11362180
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a channel stack, source/drain contacts, and a gate electrode. The channel stack is over the substrate and includes a 2D channel layer and a barrier layer. An energy band gap of the barrier layer is greater than an energy band gap of the 2D channel layer. The source/drain contacts are in contact with the channel stack. The gate electrode is above the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20220068386
    Abstract: A TCAM comprises a plurality of first search lines, a plurality of second search lines, a plurality of memory cell strings and one or more current sensing units. The memory cell strings comprise a plurality of memory cells. Each of the memory cells is coupled to one of the first search lines and one of the second search lines. The current sensing units, coupled to the memory cell strings. In a search operation, a determination that whether any of the data stored in the memory cell strings matches a data string to be searched is made according to whether the one or more current sensing units detect current from the memory cell strings, or according to the magnitude of the current flowing out from the memory cell strings detected by the one or more current sensing units.

  • Patent number: 10102475
    Abstract: A control circuit including a first switch to a third switch, an inverter, a first capacitor and a second capacitor. The first switch includes a first terminal receiving a weighting signal, and a second terminal. The second switch includes a first terminal, a control terminal coupled to the second terminal of the first switch, and a second terminal coupled to a reference voltage terminal. The third switch includes a first terminal coupled to the reference voltage terminal, a control terminal, and a second terminal. The inverter includes an input terminal coupled to a data input terminal, and an output terminal. The first capacitor is coupled between the data input terminal and the control terminal of the second switch. The second capacitor is coupled between the output terminal of the inverter and the control terminal of the third switch.
