US Classification:

438589, 438592, 438595

Abstract:

A structure and method for a metal replacement gate of a high performance device is provided. A sacrificial gate structure is first formed on an etch stop layer provided on a semiconductor substrate. A pair of spacers is provided on sidewalls of the sacrificial gate structure. The sacrificial gate structure is then removed, forming an opening. Subsequently, a metal gate including an first layer of metal such as tungsten, a diffusion barrier such as titanium nitride, and a second layer of metal such as tungsten is formed in the opening between the spacers.

International Classification:

H03K 19/173

US Classification:

326 46, 326 40

Abstract:

A programmable input/output device for use with a programmable logic device (PLD) is presented comprising an input buffer, an output buffer and programmable elements. The programmable elements may be programmed to select a logic standard for the input/output device to operate at. For instance, a given set of Select Bits applied to the programmable elements may select TTL logic, in which case the input and output buffers would operate according to the voltage levels appropriate for TTL logic (e. g. , 0. 4 volts to 2. 4 volts). For a different set of Select Bits, the GTL logic standard would be applied (e. g. , 0. 8 volts to 1. 2 volts). The invention enables a single PLD to be used in conjunction with various types of external circuitry.

Abstract:

System and method for partitioning a video into a series of semantic units where each semantic unit relates to a generally complete thematic topic. A computer implemented method for partitioning a video into a series of semantic units wherein each semantic unit relates to a theme or a topic, comprises dividing a video into a plurality of homogeneous segments, analyzing audio and visual content of the video, extracting a plurality of keywords from the speech content of each of the plurality of homogeneous segments of the video, and detecting and merging a plurality of groups of semantically related and temporally adjacent homogeneous segments into a series of semantic units in accordance with the results of both the audio and visual analysis and the keyword extraction. The present invention can be applied to generate important table-of-contents as well as index tables for videos to facilitate efficient video topic searching and browsing.

Abstract:

While interacting with a messaging interface, keywords or other search criteria are automatically identified and used to perform a search. Search results and sponsored links (or advertisements) are displayed to the user within the messaging interface. To alleviate privacy concerns, this process will not be performed unless the user has explicitly opted-in to the search feature. In another embodiment, the user can highlight keywords in an outbound or inbound message to trigger a search without leaving the messaging interface. In another embodiment, the user can input a search keyword or phrase to trigger a search without leaving the messaging interface.

International Classification:

G10L 15/14
G10L 15/06
G10L 15/00

US Classification:

704256, 704245, 704270

Abstract:

Disclosed is a general framework for extracting semantics from composite media content at various resolutions. Specifically, given a media stream, which may consist of various types of media modalities including audio, visual, text and graphics information, the disclosed framework describes how various types of semantics could be extracted at different levels by exploiting and integrating different media features. The output of this framework is a series of tagged (or annotated) media segments at different scales. Specifically, at the lowest resolution, the media segments are characterized in a more general and broader sense, thus they are identified at a larger scale; while at the highest resolution, the media content is more specifically analyzed, inspected and identified, which thus results in small-scaled media segments.

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

H01L 21/00

US Classification:

438586, 438197, 438216

Abstract:

A conductive top surface of a replacement gate stack is recessed relative to a top surface of a planarization dielectric layer by at least one etch. A dielectric capping layer is deposited over the planarization dielectric layer and the top surface of the replacement gate stack so that the top surface of a portion of the dielectric capping layer over the replacement gate stack is vertically recessed relative to another portion of the dielectric layer above the planarization dielectric layer. The vertical offset of the dielectric capping layer can be employed in conjunction with selective via etch processes to form a self-aligned contact structure.
