  • Publication number: 20230028525
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating training data to be used to train a machine learning model for generating a segmentation mask of an image containing overlapping particles. Training data is generated from sparse particle images which contain no overlaps. Generating masks for non-overlapping particles is generally not a problem if the particles can be identified clearly; in many cases simple methods such as thresholding already yield usable masks. The sparse images can then be combined to images which contain artificial overlaps. The same can be done for the masks as well which yields a large amount of training data, because of the many combinations which can be created from just a small set of images. The method is simple yet effective and can be adapted to many domains for example by adding style-transfer to the generated images or by including additional augmentation steps.

  • Publication number: 20210116392
    Abstract: There is presented a system and method for detecting mobile device fault conditions, particularly detecting defects in a display or housing of a mobile device. One or more cameras included within the mobile device are used with a reflecting surface in a test fixture to obtain properly aligned and formatted images of the external housing and display of the mobile device, and interactive guidance assists with placement and execution of diagnostics. A remote server conducts further analysis of the captured images, and then defect status may be returned to and displayed upon the mobile device screen.

  • Patent number: 9933523
    Abstract: There is disclosed systems and methods to enhance reliability of measured position data. Measuring devices, such mobile phones equipped with location measurement elements (such as GPS, LBS, network location reporting, or tower location triangulation reporting) may collect various samples of positions where the device is believed to be located at particular moments in time; however such measurements often vary even if the device is not moving because of device inaccuracy, atmospheric conditions, obstructing buildings, and the like, making it difficult to determine whether such devices are actually stationary or are in motion over predetermined time periods. Systems and methods of the present invention provide for enhanced accuracy of position data by selectively merging varying location positions that are attributable to noise or accuracy deviations, and providing an enhanced assessment of actual device position.

  • Patent number: 9507715
    Abstract: A processor includes a set of processing modules, each of the processing modules including a cache and a coherency manager that keeps track of the memory addresses of data stored at the caches of other processing modules. In response to its local cache requesting access to a particular memory address or other triggering event, the coherency manager generates a coherency probe. In the event that the generated coherency probe is targeted to multiple processing modules, the coherency manager includes a set of multicast bits indicating the processing modules whose caches include copies of the data targeted by the multicast probe. A transport switch that connects the processing module to the fabric communicates the coherency probe only to subset of processing modules indicated by the multicast bits.

  • Publication number: 20160117247
    Abstract: A processor accumulating coherency probe responses, thereby reducing the impact of coherency messages on the bandwidth of the processor's communication fabric. A probe response accumulator is connected to a processing module of the processor, the processing module having multiple processor cores and associated caches. In response to a coherency probe, the processing module generates a different coherency probe response for each of the caches. The probe response accumulator combines the different coherency probe responses into a single coherency probe response and communicates the single coherency response over the communication fabric.

  • Publication number: 20160117179
    Abstract: A command replacement module at a coherency manager of a processor receives commands to be communicated over the communication fabric. For each received command of a specified type, the command replacement module compares a data payload of the command to a stored set of data patterns and, in response to a match, replaces the command with a replacement command, wherein the replacement command implies the contents of the data payload. The replacement command is communicated to the original commands destination via the communication fabric. In response to receiving the replacement command, the destination reconstructs the original command, deriving the data payload from the replacement command.

  • Patent number: 8478942
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a first and second cache is provided. A cache entry is received in the first cache, and the entry is identified as having an untouched status. Thereafter, the status of the cache entry is updated to accessed in response to receiving a request for at least a portion of the cache entry, and the cache entry is subsequently cast out according to a preselected cache line replacement algorithm. The cast out cache entry is stored in the second cache according to the status of the cast out cache entry.
