Patent number: 12175968Abstract: Techniques for selecting a skill to execute in response to a natural language input are described. A system may receive a natural language input, determine profile data associated with the natural language input, and determine the profile data indicates a locale and at least first language and second languages. The system determines first and second sets of skills corresponding to the locale/first language and locale/second language, respectively. The system determines a first group of skill candidates corresponding to a portion of the first set of skills, and determines a second group of skill candidates corresponding to a portion of the second set of skills. The system performs ranking processing across the first and second groups of skills to determine a best skill for responding to the natural language input.

Publication number: 20240233999Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) element. The TMR element can include a free layer comprising a metallic alloy that is doped using a dopant element. In some instances, the metallic alloy comprises a cobalt-iron (CoFe) alloy. The present embodiments relate to doping a small amount of an element (e.g., hafnium (Hf), tantalum (Ta), Yttrium (Y)) in a high flux CoFe layer of a tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) element. The small amount of dopant can suppress a long-range order in the CoFe film. The amorphous state of a CoFe alloy can be induced by the dopant and result in a magnetically soft layer. A resistance of the TMR element can be modified based on an application of an external magnetic field to the free layer and the pin layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2023Publication date: July 11, 2024Inventors: Hui-Chuan Wang, Shohei Kawasaki, Kunliang Zhang, Sangmun Oh, Zheng Gao

Publication number: 20230327752Abstract: The present invention discloses a satellite-based blockchain architecture, including a terrestrial blockchain miner network, a constellation system, and a consensus protocol coordinating the constellation system and the terrestrial blockchain miner network. In each round, a satellite generates an oracle, and satellites broadcast the oracle to the terrestrial blockchain miner network. The oracle selects a terrestrial miner as a winner of the current round based on a specific rule. The winning terrestrial miner has the right to generate a new block in the round, and broadcasts the new block to other miners by using the terrestrial blockchain miner network. Other miners receiving the new block check the validity of the block, and if the check succeeds, the block is broadcast to other miners by using the terrestrial blockchain miner network.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2021Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Xintong LING, Pengcheng CHEN, Zheng GAO, Yuwei LE, Jiaheng WANG, Li YOU, Xiqi GAO
