  • Patent number: 11963327
    Abstract: Electrical interconnect systems for a server power shelf are disclosed. An electrical interconnect system, which can include multiple connectors and a printed circuit board or other wiring, can allow a control circuit, such as a shelf management controller (SMC), to be accessible via a front or rear of a server power shelf. The control circuit can be communicatively coupled to the backplane of the server power shelf through the electrical interconnect system in either the front or rear position without having to reconfigure or redesign a server power shelf configuration. Further, the control circuit can be hot swappable from both the front-loading position and the rear loading position. Even further, when utilized in the front-loading position, neither the electrical interconnect system nor the control circuit occupy a slot of the server power shelf intended for a power supply or reduce a number of power supplies the shelf can include.

  • Patent number: 11935214
    Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for an end-to-end solution for object removal from a video using adaptive learning. In one or more embodiments, using a pre-trained image inpainting model, in-scene training data may be generated using optical-flow guided sampling. In one or more embodiments, the sampled patches are used to generate a training dataset, which is used to further train the image inpainting model until reaching a stop condition. The adaptively trained inpainting model may be used to generate a modified video in which the desired object or objects have been removed and the corresponding removed portion(s) have been filled (or inpainted) to preserve the integrity of the image.
