  • Publication number: 20230210102
    Abstract: An intelligent Forcipomyia taiwana monitoring and management system comprises: a catching mechanism grabbing a to-be-identified target; a database storing a datum comprising pictures of a flying insect category; a model training module using the pictures to establish a training model; an image capture module shooting an image including the target; an identifying module selecting a first segmented region including the target by using YOLO detection framework technology, extracting a first identification feature from the target, and inputting the feature into the training model for deep learning to identify a flying insect category to which the target belongs and produce an identification result; a counting module recording a number of the target into the database; and a predictive tracking module obtaining a marked object based on the result marked with the target identified in the image, and using a Monte-Carlo category algorithm to track and predict the object.

  • Publication number: 20230213457
    Abstract: An automated optical double-sided inspection apparatus includes a first image-capturing portion, a second image-capturing portion, a platform, a first light-blocking portion, a second light-blocking portion, and a processing portion. The platform carries an external object. When the processing portion operates in a first capturing mode, the second light-blocking portion blocks visible light from passing therethrough, while the first light-blocking portion allows visible light to pass therethrough, so that the first image-capturing portion shoots a first side of the external object through the first light-blocking portion to obtain a first image.

  • Publication number: 20230131594
    Abstract: A scramble and descramble hardware implementation method based on data bit width expansion. After expansion, redundant terms are eliminated, and scramble/descramble operation results within the current operation cycle and the value of the shift register after shifting are calculated at once. The present method exhibits advantageous effects with respect to the scramble and descramble polynomial defined by USB3.1 and PCI-Express3.0 protocols, and can obtain a relatively small hardware delay, so that the system can work at a higher frequency.

  • Patent number: 11550635
    Abstract: Techniques are described for filtering and normalizing training data used to build a predictive auto scaling model used by a service provider network to proactively scale users' computing resources. Further described are techniques for identifying collections of computing resources that exhibit suitably predictable usage patterns such that a predictive auto scaling model can be used to forecast future usage patterns with reasonable accuracy and to scale the resources based on such generated forecasts. The filtering of training data and the identification of suitably predictable collections of computing resources are based in part on autocorrelation analyses, and in particular on “delayed” autocorrelation analyses, of time series data, among other techniques described herein.

  • Publication number: 20220166312
    Abstract: A switched capacitor converter circuit includes: plural capacitors and plural switches which switch the connections of the plural capacitors periodically. In a first period, the plural switches control a first capacitor to be electrically connected between a first power and a second power, and control a second capacitor and a third capacitor to be electrically connected in series between the second power and a ground level. In a second period, the plural switches control the first capacitor and the second capacitor to be electrically connected in series between the second power and the ground, and control the third capacitor and the second capacitor to be electrically connected in parallel with the second power, thereby a second current of the second power is 4 times of a first current of the first power.

  • Patent number: 10979436
    Abstract: A policy associated with a notification received by one or more computer systems is obtained. A first request is submitted, to a service, for a first current capacity of a resource. An amount by which to adjust a capacity of the resource is calculated, based at least in part on the policy and the first current capacity. A second request is submitted, to the service, to adjust the capacity of the resource by the amount. A third request is submitted, to the service, for a second current capacity of the resource, and whether the second request has been fulfilled is determined based at least in part on a comparison between the second current capacity and the response to the third request.
