  • Patent number: 12013531
    Abstract: A near-eye optical assembly includes a display waveguide and an optical structure. The display waveguide is configured to receive display light and to direct the display light to an eye of a user. The optical structure includes an input coupler, an optical path, and an output coupler. The input coupler is disposed to receive a portion of the display light that propagates through the waveguide. The optical path directs the portion of the display light from the input coupler to an output coupler that is configured to provide the received portion of the display light to a disparity sense circuit.

  • Publication number: 20240180075
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electric tool comprising a body, an operating component, an output shaft, and a stop mechanism. An arresting disc is disposed on the output shaft, and a groove is formed on the arresting disc; the stop mechanism comprises a protrusion, for example, a pin, which is operable so that the protrusion extends to insert into the groove to lock the output shaft. A stop mechanism of the present invention is easy to operate, delivers good safety performance, and has a relatively simple structure, which allows convenient production and subsequent maintenance. Further, a stop mechanism of the present invention automatically springs back to a non-stop position at which it detaches from the output shaft or the transmission gear of the transmission mechanism when the external force is lost, which prevents possible damage to the output shaft or transmission mechanism when a user starts the electric tool before releasing the stop mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20240144425
    Abstract: Techniques for using machine learning (ML) for image processing are disclosed. First encoded image data, generated by encoding a first one or more digital images using an encoder, is received. A first reconstructed one or more digital images are generated by decoding the encoded image data using a decoder corresponding to the encoder. A second reconstructed one or more digital images are generated by transforming the first reconstructed one or more digital images using a super-resolution ML model. The second reconstructed one or more digital images has a higher image resolution compared with the first reconstructed one or more digital images, and the super-resolution ML model is trained based on an image resolution corresponding to at least one of the second reconstructed one or more digital images.

  • Patent number: 11952576
    Abstract: A novel method of diluting the structures in the cell population, such that individual cells, dependent on the activity of the structures, become single measurement devices. This can be applied to all Bacterial Microcomparments (“BMCs”), organelles, and macromolecules, and could provide a universal method for the design of novel ones and understanding of the diverse structures. In one aspect the present invention provides A method of creating a bacterial strain with inducible and detectable carboxysomes. The method includes the steps of incorporating a labeled carbon-fixation enzyme into the genome of a bacterium; deleting all or a portion of the ccm operon from the bacterium; and reintroducing a ccm operon comprising an inducible promoter to create a ?ccm+ strain.

  • Patent number: 10761685
    Abstract: Improved systems, methods, and techniques for generating representational state transfer (REST) requests from a client computer to a server computer. The disclosed techniques employ a REST application programming interface (also referred to as the “RESTful API”) for use in receiving the REST requests at the server computer from the client computer, and providing REST responses from the server computer to the client computer. The disclosed techniques further employ an intelligent REST client configured as a webpage (also referred to as the “intelligent REST client webpage”) that can be accessed by a browser running on the client computer, and transmitted or otherwise served by the server computer for display on the browser of the client computer. The intelligent REST client webpage may be employed by a user of the client computer for efficiently interacting with the RESTful API of the server computer.

  • Patent number: 10262155
    Abstract: Examples are generally directed towards disabling features using a feature toggle associated with an application programming interface (API). A server receives an API request including one or more elements. An element is associated with a set of features. If a feature state of every feature within the set of features is an enabled feature state, the element state is an enabled element state and the request is validated. The validated request is executed and a response to the request is returned to the client. If at least one feature state of at least one feature within the set of features is a disabled feature state or a hidden feature state, the element state is a disabled element state and the request is invalided. The invalidated request is rejected and an error message is returned to the client.
