  • Publication number: 20240104338
    Abstract: A method comprising: sampling a temporal causal graph from a temporal graph distribution specifying probabilities of directed causal edges between different variables of a feature vector at a present time step, and from one variable at a preceding time step to another variables at the present time step. Based on this there are identified: a present parent which is a cause of the selected variable in the present time step, and a preceding parent which is a cause of the selected variable from the preceding time step. The method then comprises: inputting a value of each identified present and preceding parent into a respective encoder, resulting in a respective embedding of each of the present and preceding parents; combining the embeddings of the present and preceding parents, resulting in a combined embedding; inputting the combined embedding into a decoder, resulting in a reconstructed value of the selected variable.

  • Publication number: 20210105879
    Abstract: An LED filament bulb includes a driver and two filament sets. The driver includes a rectifier circuit, a filter circuit, a constant voltage (CV) circuit, a first constant current (CC) circuit and a second CC circuit. The rectifier circuit converts an AC power into a DC power. The filter circuit connects the rectifier circuit for filtering an AC component. The CV circuit connects the filter circuit for generating a fixed voltage and outputting the fixed voltage via a voltage output end. The voltage output end connects a first electrode of each filament set. The first CC circuit connects both the CV circuit and a second electrode of one of the filament sets. The second CC circuit connects both the CV circuit and a second electrode of another one of the filament sets. The CC circuits make currents flowing through the two filament sets identical.
