  • Patent number: 12387063
    Abstract: A method and wireless device with a counterpart presence detector is provided. The detector includes only memory and logic circuits to detect a change in a ringing artifact from the presence of a RF device. The memory stores template signals and threshold values. The template signals may be generated using a metal object positioned various distances from the RF device. The ringing artifact, also called an RF-off signal, is sampled. A difference between subsequent ringing artifact samples is taken to produce a ringing artifact difference. Also, a difference between subsequent samples of a template signal is taken to produce a template difference. A Euclidean distance between the ringing artifact difference and the template difference is determined. The distance is compared to a threshold value. A presence of another RF device within the RF field of the RF device is detected if the distance compares favorably to the threshold value.

  • Patent number: 12333704
    Abstract: A method for detecting a surface defect based on a perceptual autoencoder is provided, which belongs to the field of integrated circuit defect detection. By using perceptual loss instead of pixel-by-pixel loss, the problem of blurred single-pixel-loss output image with serious distortion at the edges is solved. This manner is highly migratory, and it may migrate well to the new target to be detected. On the other hand, by using the feature pyramid instead of the sliding window manner, the feature pyramid does not require a plurality of redundant computation by sliding on the original image, which effectively reduces the memory and computation cost. A system for detecting a surface defect based on a perceptual autoencoder is also provided, which includes specific modules for implementing the above method. In addition, a computer device and a storage medium of the above method are provided, for accomplishing operations of the above method.
