Publication number: 20240119582Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Quan ZHANG, Been-Der CHEN, Wei-chun Fong, Zhangnan ZHU, Robert Elliott BOONE

Publication number: 20240108743Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Qiang LI, Yuanli LI, Si CHEN, Zhu WANG, Zhao DONG, Zirui LI, Xinlu MA, Lu YANG, Yongjuan GAO, Yuncheng ZHENG, Naichao SUN

Patent number: 11922195Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: John Francis Lam, Safia Abdalla, Shibani Raj Basava, Dinesh Chandnani, Zhu Chen, Kwangje Cho, Ram Kumar Donthula, Katherine Kampf, Daniel Moth, Andrew Christopher Neil, Vaishnavi Sannidhanam, Barry Manh Tu, Vijaya Krishna Upadya, Dileep Yavanmandha

Patent number: 11775684Abstract: 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.
