Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a safety monitor framework for a safety-critical inference application are disclosed. A system includes a safety-critical inference application, a safety monitor, and an inference accelerator engine. The safety monitor receives an input image, test data, and a neural network specification from the safety-critical inference application. The safety monitor generates a modified image by adding additional objects outside of the input image. The safety monitor provides the modified image and neural network specification to the inference accelerator engine which processes the modified image and provides outputs to the safety monitor. The safety monitor determines the likelihood of erroneous processing of the original input image by comparing the outputs for the additional objects with a known good result. The safety monitor complements the overall fault coverage of the inference accelerator engine and covers faults only observable at the network level.

Abstract: The present application relates to a lighting device and in particular to a lamp, a transition member for mounting a lamp, a lamp body and a junction box assembly, by which problems such as inconvenient operation and low efficiency in connecting wires during the mounting of a lamp can be solved. The lamp provided by the present application comprises a lamp body and a transition member which is configured to mount the lamp body in a mounting position. The transition member comprises a mounting portion and a placement portion; the mounting portion is configured to be mounted in said mounting position; and the placement portion enables the lamp body to be placed thereon before the mounting is completed, and in this state, wires connected between the lamp body and the mounting position are not shielded so that it is possible to connect the wires.

Abstract: The present application relates to a method for controlling a lamp based on a switching action. By applying the present application, switching of a working state of a lamp can be realized by controlling the switching-on and switching-off states of the lamp using a single switch. In the present method, if a switching-on action is detected, the lamp is switched on, and if a switching-off action is detected, the lamp is switched off; another switching-on action performed within a period t0 after the switching-off action is detected is defined as a quick switching-off-and-on operation. The steps of the present method may be realized by functional modules, which may be implemented by a computer program stored in a computer-readable storage medium.

Abstract: A single direction gas permeable protective covering material for protecting solid stone surface countertop materials is provided. The protective covering material includes a core layer which is formed as an elongate thin sheet of material having uniform thickness. The protective covering material also includes an outer protective layer attached to a first side of the core layer and a dual layer adhesive system attached to a second side of the core layer. The protective covering material includes cone shaped pores therethrough that are gas permeable to allow for out-gassing of stone countertop materials. The protective covering material is designed to be permanently attached to a porous stone countertop material with the dual layer adhesive system to protect the countertop material from damage during daily use.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing a substrate, comprising a processing chamber and a substrate support and lift pin assembly disposed within the chamber. The substrate support and lift pin assembly are coupled to a lift mechanism that controls positioning of the substrate support and the lift pins and provides rotation for the substrate support. The lift mechanism includes at least one sensor capable of generating a signal when clearance between the substrate support and the lift pins allows rotation of the substrate support to begin. The substrate support capable of concurrent axial motion and rotation may be used in a processing chamber comprising multiple processing zones separated by edge rings. Substrates may be subjected to successive or cyclical processes by moving between the multiple processing zones.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for image compositing in an apparatus a device in which available memory is at a premium are disclosed. The apparatus includes a first memory that receives a video input signal, in multiple portions. The first memory has a storage capacity less than the entire video image. Data within the first memory is encoded to form encoded video image portions. The entire image is thus encoded, video image portion by video image portion. A second image is combined with image portions in the first memory prior encoding such video image portions. The apparatus may, for example, be an electronic component or components forming a video or image processing pipeline, used in a portable device.

Abstract: Particularly though not exclusively for use in voice communication equipment concerned with voice storage and playback along telephone lines and having the extended networking facility for host computer-controlled direct connection between callers on a pair of lines, a method of and apparatus for improving voice quality in such a connection involving sensing the origination of voice on one of the lines and thereupon reducing signal attenuation between the lines to enable amplified gain transmission from that line to the other line of the pair, while increasing signal attenuation between the lines in the opposite direction to suppress signal communication in such opposite direction; and vice versa, when the voice signal originates on the other line.
