Abstract: A neural network receives mono-color pixels in a Bayer pattern from an image sensor and interpolates pixels to generate full-color RGB pixels while also enlightening the image for better detail. A Back-Projection (BP) layer is added to each contracting layer in a U-net convolution neural network where feature depth is increased as pixels are downsampled, while a BP channel shrink layer is added to each expansion layer where feature depth is reduced to upsample and increase pixel resolution. Convolution layers in the BP layer lighten and darken images to generate an error that is then lightened and added to a weighted lightened input. The neural network learns the best weightings to correct for noise and error in the lightening process in these BP layers. Noise is reduced further by repeating a convolution and leaky Rectified Linear Unit (lrelu) in series for the first convolution in the BP layer that performs lightening.

Abstract: A health management system using contactless physiological measurement technology is disclosed. The health management system principally comprises a camera and a first processor, of which the camera is faced to a user for capturing a user image. The first processor is particularly configured to have a face detection unit and an activity index calculating unit therein. By such arrangement, after receiving the user image from the camera, the first processor detects a face portion from the user image, thereby subsequently extracting a PPG signal from the face portion. Consequently, after completing at least one process of the PPG signal, multiple indexes for describing a user's health activity are generated. The health activity indexes include health index, activity index, stability index, relaxation index, metabolism index, and balance index. Therefore, the first processor achieves an evaluation of the user's health activity state according to the forgoing health activity indexes.

Abstract: An image classification system is provided for determining a likely classification of an image using multiple machine learning models that share a base machine learning model. The image classification system may be a browser-based system on a user computing device that obtains multiple machine learning models over a network from a remote system once, stores the models locally in the image classification system, and uses the models multiple times without needing to subsequently request the machine learning models again from the remote system.

Abstract: A pushing force-actuated braking device includes an annular housing that houses a brake disc, a braking piston, plural braking elements, and a brake-releasing piston. When only the braking piston is under the action of a fluid, the braking piston applies an axial pushing force to the brake disc such that the brake disc is kept at a braking position jointly by the braking piston and the braking elements. When only the brake-releasing piston is under the action of a fluid, the brake-releasing piston applies an opposite pushing force to the brake disc to keep it at a brake-releasing position. Should the fluid acting on the braking piston fail, the force of the braking elements still enables the brake disc to produce a braking effect. The pushing force-actuated braking device has a modular design to facilitate assembly and disassembly. A rotary table using the braking device is also provided.
