  • Publication number: 20240119256
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides directed to new, more efficient neural network architectures. As one example, in some implementations, the neural network architectures of the present disclosure can include a linear bottleneck layer positioned structurally prior to and/or after one or more convolutional layers, such as, for example, one or more depthwise separable convolutional layers. As another example, in some implementations, the neural network architectures of the present disclosure can include one or more inverted residual blocks where the input and output of the inverted residual block are thin bottleneck layers, while an intermediate layer is an expanded representation. For example, the expanded representation can include one or more convolutional layers, such as, for example, one or more depthwise separable convolutional layers. A residual shortcut connection can exist between the thin bottleneck layers that play a role of an input and output of the inverted residual block.

  • Publication number: 20240119582
    Abstract: Described are embodiments for generating a post-optical proximity correction (OPC) result for a mask using a target pattern and reference layer patterns. Images of the target pattern and reference layers are provided as an input to a machine learning (ML) model to generate a post-OPC image. The images may be input separately or combined into a composite image (e.g., using a linear function) and input to the ML model. The images are rendered from pattern data. For example, a target pattern image is rendered from a target pattern to be printed on a substrate, and a reference layer image such as dummy pattern image is rendered from dummy pattern. The ML model is trained to generate the post-OPC image using multiple images associated with target patterns and reference layers, and using a reference post-OPC image of the target pattern. The post-OPC image may be used to generate a post-OPC mask.

  • Publication number: 20240108743
    Abstract: A linker peptide for constructing a fusion protein. The linker peptide comprises a flexible peptide and a rigid peptide. The flexible peptide consists of one or more flexible units. The rigid peptide consists of one or more rigid units. The flexible unit comprises two or more amino acid residues selected from Gly, Ser, Ala, and Thr. The rigid unit comprises a human chorionic gonadotropin ?-subunit carboxy-terminal peptide (CTP) bearing a plurality of glycosylation sites. The linker peptide can more effectively eliminate mutual steric hindrance of two fusion molecules, decreasing a reduction/loss of polymerization or activity resulting from improper folding of an active protein or a conformational change. On the other hand, the negatively charged, highly sialylated CTP can resist renal clearance, further prolonging a half-life of a fused molecule and enhancing bioavailability of a fused protein.

  • Patent number: 11922195
    Abstract: Some embodiments support embedding of a notebooks software component in a surrounding host application, thereby promoting consistency of notebook user interfaces and user experiences between different kinds of applications. For instance, the notebook access added to an integrated development environment (IDE) may be aesthetically consistent with the notebook access added to a business analytics tool from the same vendor as the IDE. Departures from the aesthetic are still supported, e.g., a notebook access provided in a video gaming environment to teach gamers programming skills may have the same aesthetic as the simulated world of the video game, rather than an IDE aesthetic or an enterprise software aesthetic. Direct integration or proxied integration architectures may be used. Efficiencies may be gained by distinguishing between notebook viewing, editing, and executing operations, and providing more computationally expensive resources only as needed for the notebook access being performed.

  • Patent number: 11775684
    Abstract: A rule-based attribution mechanism analyzes documents having different types of data in different formats through the application of script-based rules that apply a tag to the document identifying the type of sensitive data that is contained in the document. Documents having similar tags are aggregated so that the sensitive data is scrubbed from the document leaving the telemetric data available for downstream processing. The scrubbing entails different actions, such as, eliminating the sensitive data, obfuscating the sensitive data, and converting the sensitive data into a non-sensitive value.
