ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BASED AUTO DUBBED LIP SYNCHRONIZATION GENERATION
A system is designed to create real-time dubbed videos where the lip movements of speakers match translated audio. It first separates the background sounds from the individual voices in the audio. Then, it detects faces in the video and identifies which speaker is currently talking. After translating the speech into another language, it generates video frames that show the speaker's lips moving in sync with the new audio. Finally, the system plays the translated audio while displaying the synchronized video, making it look natural.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING BEAM FAILURE RECOVERY IN HIGH-FREQUENCY COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS USING RIS
A communication system can experience problems when the signal beam fails between the transmitter and receiver. When this happens, the system detects the failure and identifies a special surface called a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) to help fix the issue. The transmitter sends a reference signal to this RIS, which then provides feedback about the signal. Based on this feedback, the system creates a list of possible new signal beams to try. Finally, the transmitter sends a message to the receiver with this list to help recover from the beam failure.

OUTAGE PROJECTION IN CLOUD COMPUTING SYSTEMS
A method is designed to predict the risk of service outages in cloud computing systems. It analyzes how different services depend on each other and checks their status to find patterns that might lead to outages. By using a model, the system calculates a risk score that indicates how likely an outage is to happen. This score can be shared with other systems that help manage and deploy services. If the risk score is high enough, an alert is sent out to help prevent the outage before it occurs.

SWITCHED TRANSFORMER ARRAYS AND SWITCHED INDUCTOR ARRAYS CAPABLE OF USE IN BEAMFORMER INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
A new type of switched transformer array can be used in advanced circuits called beamformer integrated circuits (BFICs). This technology is designed to handle all the frequencies needed for 5G and 6G communication, specifically covering the FR2 range from 24 GHz to 71 GHz. It is much smaller than current systems, being about one-third the size of traditional BFICs. By using this switched transformer array, the BFIC becomes simpler and can operate over a wider range of frequencies, allowing for faster and more secure communication. Additionally, this design helps filter out unwanted signals and improves the quality of the transmitted data.

METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH AI MODEL TRAINING USING DOMAIN SIMILARITY
A new way to train an AI model uses images from different areas or domains. First, the AI creates two images. Then, it calculates how much each image's performance differs from what it should be. By comparing these differences, the AI learns how similar the images are. Finally, the AI updates itself to improve based on this similarity.

Encoding Method and Apparatus, Decoding Method and Apparatus, Device, Storage Medium, and Computer Program Product
An encoding and decoding method is designed to improve how images are processed. It estimates the likelihood of certain features in an image using a special network that analyzes these features before they are turned into a simpler form. This process involves two steps: first, estimating the probability of the original image features, and then quantizing them into a more manageable format. Alternatively, the method can directly estimate the probability of the simplified image features without going through the original ones. Overall, this approach helps in better understanding and compressing image data.

DISAGGREGATED DATA CENTER PLANNING USING HOMOMORPHIC ENCRYPTION
A new method helps set up a data center that uses separate computing and memory units. It starts by collecting encrypted logs of memory usage from different memory units. Then, it processes these logs to create a set of results. Parts of these results are sent back to the memory units, which then provide their unencrypted data. Finally, this information is used to allocate resources effectively between the memory units and computing units in the data center.

RNA-GUIDED NUCLEASES AND ACTIVE FRAGMENTS AND VARIANTS THEREOF AND METHODS OF USE
New tools have been developed to target specific sequences in DNA or RNA. These tools can cut, change, or visualize these sequences, which helps in studying or modifying genes. They include special proteins called RNA-guided nucleases and various types of RNA that guide these proteins to the right spot. Additionally, there are systems that combine these proteins and guide RNAs to effectively bind to the target sequences. This technology can be used in various applications, such as gene editing and research.

AUTONOMOUS SECURITY ROBOT SYSTEM WITH FLUID-BASED DETERRENT, INK TRACKING, AND AUTOMATED REFILL
A mobile security robot is designed to patrol areas and can spray a special fluid to deter intruders. It has a feature that allows it to tag suspects with invisible ink for later identification. The robot can be activated by sensors or by a person controlling it. When the fluid runs low, it can automatically refill itself at a designated station. Besides security, this robot can also help with watering plants and keeping animals away from certain areas.

VIRTUAL MAKEUP SOLUTION PROVIDING SYSTEM USING GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
A system uses generative AI to create virtual makeup looks for users. First, a user takes a photo of their face with a device. The system then analyzes the photo to understand the user's facial features. Next, it chooses makeup colors that match these features using advanced AI technology. Finally, the system applies the selected makeup colors to the original photo, showing how the makeup would look on the user's face.
