Abstract: Computing devices, such as mobile computing devices, have access to one or more image sensors that can capture images and video with multiple subjects. Some of these subjects may vary in priority for various tasks. It may be desired to increase or decrease the compression on each subject in order to more efficiently store the image data. Low-power, fast-response machine learning logic can be configured to allow for the generation of a plurality of inference data. Inference data can be associated with the type, motion and/or priority of the subjects as desired. This inference data can be utilized along with other subject data to generate one or more variable compression regions within the image data. The image data can be subsequently processed to compress different areas of the image based on a desired application. The variably compressed image can reduce file sizes and allow for more efficient storage and processing.

Abstract: Techniques are presented that allow for the erase of the drain side select gates of NAND strings while maintaining the data content of the memory cells. While erase inhibiting the memory cells of a NAND string, holes are generated in the drain region through the gate induced drain leakage (GIDL) mechanism and transferred to under the select gate, where they are then used to erase the select gate by Fowler-Nordheim mechanism. This allows for the refresh of the drain side select gates while retaining the data content of the NAND strings. This technique can also be used for data encryption, since, by erasing the drain side select gates, a block of data can be rendered unreadable; but, since the data content is not erased, it can later be recovered.
Abstract: A method for determining a texture for a target expression comprises: determining feature graphs for the target expression and each of P training poses; determining blending weights tv based on: an approximation model trained using the training poses and a similarity metric ?v,t representing a similarity of the target feature graph at a vertex v to each of the training feature graphs; for each pixel in a plurality of 2D pixels: determining one or more vertices that correspond with the pixel based on 2D coordinates of the pixel and a mapping of the vertices to 2D; and determining per-pixel blending weights rn for the pixel based on the blending weights tv for the corresponding vertices. The method also comprises, for each high-resolution pixel in a 2D rendering of the target facial expression, interpolating 2D textures of the training facial poses based on the per-pixel blending weights rn to thereby provide the target texture.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a tape drive comprising a tape wound around first and second tape reels and a tape head module configured to write data to and read data from the tape. The tape drive is configured to equalize the amount of time the tape spends stored in a first state and a second state when being stored long term, or when in a preservation phase, to minimize the effects of creep and tape dimensional stability. In the first state, a majority of the tape is wound around the first tape reel. In the second state, the majority of the tape is wound around the second tape reel. The tape drive is configured to move the tape between the first and second states: (1) upon being triggered by the timer, or (2) based on the tape head module being utilized to determine a position error signal.

Abstract: A cleaning wizard monitors and provides feedback for cleaning of medical equipment to ensure that cleaning is performed based on best practices. The cleaning wizard receives a video stream comprising an item of medical equipment and inputs a first set of video frames from the video stream into a first machine learning model. The first machine learning model is trained to output whether the first set of video frames corresponds to activity that initiates a cleaning protocol for the item of medical equipment. Responsive to the cleaning protocol being initiated, the cleaning wizard inputs a second set of video frames into a second machine learning model trained to output whether the second set of frames meets criteria of the cleaning protocol. Responsive to all criteria of the cleaning protocol being met, the cleaning wizard transmits a notification to an operator that the cleaning protocol is complete.
