  • Publication number: 20240169682
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include techniques for intimacy-based masking of three dimensional (3D) face landmarks within a metaverse. A non-limiting example method includes determining a degree of intimacy R between a first user and a second user responsive to a first avatar of the first user being observed by a second avatar of the second user in a virtual environment. An initial set of M landmarks of a feature of the first avatar is determined and N landmarks are randomly selected from M for masking. The N landmarks are replaced with random noise sampled with a unit normal distribution to define a set of noised landmarks X that are then iteratively denoised to define a set of denoised landmarks D. A masked version of the first avatar is presented to the second user by modifying the feature of the first avatar with the set of denoised landmarks D.

  • Publication number: 20040025705
    Abstract: A coffee hot and cold flush device comprises an upper receiving frame, a lower receiving frame, a hopper type earthen bowl, and a liquid collector. At least three support rods are connected the two receiving frame. The upper receiving frame, lower receiving frame and support rods are formed with a space having a size sufficient to receive the liquid collector. A center of the lower receiving frame has a receiving groove for placing the liquid collector. A center of the upper receiving frame is formed with an engaging hole for positioning the hopper type earthen bowl steadily. The hopper type earthen bowl has a bowl groove which is formed with a liquid guide incline. The liquid guide incline is inclined toward a middle liquid outlet. An isolating layer enclosed by filtering cloth is placed upon the liquid guide incline.

  • Publication number: 20020096058
    Abstract: The invention is related to a kind of device inside a grinder to peel the inner embryo membrane of coffee beans. It mainly comprises of a motor with an extruded motor shaft, a positioning cylinder located on the lateral side of a motor and equipping a lower exit inside an conveyor base, and a conveyor base, which is on the lateral side of the grinder and equips an extruded exit end on the other side of the grinder. The center of the motor extrudes a shaft connecting an eccentric synchronic rotation grinding bar. During rotation, the shaft is in a state of eccentricity, thus, the grinding surface completely hits the inner ring rim of the positioning cylinder and coffee beans are ground into particles. There is an inclined conveyor platform on the conveyor base. When grinding particles fall, due to low specific weight, the embryo membrane is sucked by a fan located on the lateral wall of a grinder and is collected in a dust collection bag.
