  • Patent number: 10783354
    Abstract: A method for image processing, an apparatus having a processing circuitry and non-transitory computer readable medium are described. For example, the processing circuitry extracts, from a first image of a face, first values of feature points of a facial organ on the face. The feature points of the facial organ are indicative of characteristics of the facial organ. Then, the processing circuitry calculates first distances between the feature points of the facial organ based on the first values of the feature points. Further, the processing circuitry calculates feature parameters of the facial organ according to the first distances between the feature points. Then, the processing circuitry detects a facial action of the face when the feature parameters satisfy a preset condition associated with the facial action.

  • Patent number: 10330712
    Abstract: A fast algorithm is used to study the transient behavior due to a step-like pulse applied to a nano-chip. This algorithm is carried out on a computer and consists of two parts: The algorithm I reduces the computational complexity to T0N3 for large systems as long as T<N; The algorithm II employs the fast multipole technique and achieves scaling T0N3 whenever T<N2 beyond which it becomes T log2 N for even longer time. Hence it is of order O(1) if T<N2. Benchmark calculation has been done on graphene nanoribbons with N=104 and T=108. This new algorithm allows many large scale transient problems to be solved, including magnetic tunneling junctions and ferroelectric tunneling junctions that could not be achieved before, and using less computing capacity.
