Abstract:
A memory device is disclosed that includes a plurality of word lines and a plurality of memory cells operating in one of a plurality of modes and coupled to at least one of the word lines. The memory device also includes a plurality of reference lines and reference cells. Each reference cell corresponds to one of the operating modes, supplies a reference current for the corresponding mode, and is coupled to at least one of the reference lines. A reference cell current from a reference cell can also be compared to a target range and, if outside the target range, the voltage level on a corresponding referece line can be adjusted accordingly such that the reference current falls within the target range (i.e., reference current trimming).
Abstract:
An “IC card with display panel but without batteries” includes a contact/contactless communication interface (23), a microprocessor (24), an EEPROM (28), a rectifier/voltage regulator (27), a display driver (25), and a charge-pump (26) disposed therein, and a display panel (21) disposed thereon. The microprocessor (24), receives the external data, and displays them on the display panel (21) for the users to look up the external data. The display panel (21) is the one with double steady-state function having the characteristic that once the data are displayed, no persistent power supply for the display panel (21) is needed, thus the displayed data will be preserved persistently until the next time when data are updated. In this way, the users can exempt using batteries that can avoid being disturbed by the service life of the batteries.
Abstract:
A method of phrase verification to verify a phrase not only according to its confidence measures but also according to neighboring concepts and their confidence tags. First, an utterance is received, and the received utterance is parsed to find a concept sequence. Subsequently, a plurality of tag sequences corresponding to the concept sequence is produced. Then, a first score of each of the tag sequences is calculated. Finally, the tag sequence of the highest first score is selected as the most probable tag sequence, and the tags contained therein are selected as the most probable confidence tags, respectively corresponding to the concepts in the concept sequence.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating a floating gate with multiple tips. A semiconductor substrate is provided, on which an insulating layer and a patterned hard mask layer are sequentially formed. The patterned hard mask layer has an opening to expose the surface of the semiconductor substrate. A conducting layer is conformally formed on the patterned hard mask layer, and the opening is filled with the conducting layer. The conducting layer is planarized to expose the surface of the patterned hard mask layer. The conducting layer is thermally oxidized to form an oxide layer, and the patterned hard mask layer is removed.
Abstract:
A method of probabilistic error-tolerant natural language understanding. The process of language understanding is divided into a concept parse and a concept sequence comparison steps. The concept parse uses a parse driven by a concept grammar to construct a concept parse forest set by parsing results of speech recognition. The concept sequence comparison uses an error-tolerant interpreter to compare the hypothetical concept sequences included by the concept parse forest set and the exemplary concept sequences included in the database of the system. A most possible concept sequence is found and converted into a semantic framed that expresses the intention of the user. The whole process is led by a probability oriented scoring function. When error occurs in the speech recognition and a correct concept sequence cannot be formed, the position of the error is determined and the error is recovered according to the scoring function to reduce the negative effect.
Abstract:
A current register unit. A first transistor of a first type, second to sixth transistors of a second type, and first and second capacitors are provided, and an image current signal is stored in the current register unit when a control signal is at a first logic level, and the image current signal is output by the current register unit when the control signal is at a second logic level. An image display device that utilizes the current register unit is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method and system of real-time statistical bin control. First, a statistical bin control rule is generated by a statistical bin control rule generator, and a test result having an error frequency is then retrieved from test equipment. If the error frequency exceeds a preset limit, the system replies to the test equipment with a first action corresponding to the statistical bin control rule. Next, if the error frequency of the test results exceeds another limit, the system then replies to the test equipment with a second action corresponding to the statistical bin control rule.

Abstract:
Each of a system for qualifying a multiple die under test head and a system for qualifying the multiple die under test head employ selection of a sub-set of die arrays within a calibration standard substrate. The sub-set of die arrays is selected such as to: (1) not overlap in position within the calibration standard substrate; and (2) have in an aggregate no greater than one defective die within each of a series of die locations. The system and the method provide for accurate and efficient qualification of the multiple die under test head and thus accurate and efficient electrical test measurement of a microelectronic product.
