The second protective strip is cut by selectively removing a portion of the second protective strip. The semiconductor substrate is etched to form an isolation trench. Remaining portions of the first and second protective strips are removed. An isolation feature is filled into the isolation trench. The isolation feature defines a plurality of strip-shaped active regions. Capacitor contacts are formed on both ends of each of the strip-shaped active regions.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting indications of a scam caller are disclosed. Call data, such as call audio, is received and used to create a training dataset. Using the training dataset, a machine learning model is trained to detect indications of a scam caller in a phone call. An Interactive Voice Response (IVR) model is trained or configured, using voice samples of speech of a subscriber of a telecommunications service provider, to simulate speech and conversation of the subscriber. A conversational agent is generated using the IVR model and the trained machine learning model. The conversational agent receives a phone call, engages a caller in simulated conversation, and detects indications of whether the caller is a likely scam caller. If the caller is determined to be a likely scam caller, an alert can be generated and/or the call can be disconnected.

A process may include obtaining path information indicating a path for the robot to travel, and locations along the path to inspect with the sensor system. The robot may move along the path and may determine, based on information received via a location sensor, that the robot is at a first location of the locations indicated by the path information. In response to determining that the robot is at the first location, the robot may adjust the sensor system based on first orientation information associated with the first location. An image or video may be recorded via the sensor system.
