We report on sub-milliwatt operation of ultra-violet light emitting diodes sapphire with a peak emission wavelength 315 nm having quaternary AlInGaN multiple quantum well (MQW) active region. A significant increase in the device-emitted power was achieved using an interdigitated finger geometry design, which reduces differential resistance and eliminates current crowding. The flip-chip mounting diced chips substrates improves thermal management increases extraction efficiency from device...
We describe a prototype dialogue response generation model for the customer service domain at Amazon. The model, which is trained in weakly supervised fashion, measures similarity between questions and agent answers using dual encoder network, Siamese-like neural network architecture. Answer templates are extracted from embeddings derived past answers, without turn-by-turn annotations. Responses to inquiries generated by selecting best template final set of templates. show that, closed like...

The quantum efficiency of QWIPs is difficult to predict and optimize. Recently, we have established a quantitative 3- dimensional electromagnetic model for QE computation. In this work, used design optimize new detector structures. one approach, adjusted the volume resonate strongly with scattered light from diffractive elements (DEs). resulting intensified field increases correspondingly. We tested resonator-QWIP concept on four materials obtained satisfactory agreements between theory...
Previously, we adopted the resonator-QWIPs and increased FPA QE to 30 − 40%.

An optimized detector fabrication process is developed for resonator-quantum well infrared photodetectors (R-QWIPs). The R-QWIPs are the next generation of QWIP detectors that use resonances to increase quantum efficiency (QE). To achieve expected performance, geometry must be produced in precise specification. In particular, height diffractive elements and thickness active resonator uniformly accurately realized within 0.05-μm accuracy. this specification, an inductively coupled plasma...
A tomographic inversion approach using prestack depth migrated common image gathers is utilized to compensate reflection data for amplitude loss caused by transmission anomalies in the overburden. The has advantage of estimating losses from anywhere within overburden actual seismic raypaths. Examples show that method can mitigate attenuation and should be considered as one processes preserving processing important AVO analysis when are present.
