  • Patent number: 11521044
    Abstract: Techniques regarding action detection based on motion in receptive fields of a neural network model are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a motion component that can extract a motion vector from a plurality of adaptive receptive fields in a deformable convolution layer of a neural network model. The computer executable components can also comprise an action detection component that can generate a spatio-temporal feature by concatenating the motion vector with a spatial feature extracted from the deformable convolution layer.

  • Publication number: 20210361940
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods discussed herein include wireless midfield transmitters and implantable receiver devices. A midfield transmitter can be configured to provide signals outside of tissue that give rise to propagating signals inside of tissue. The present subject matter includes a protection circuit for a transmitter device, a layered transmitter device, an implantable receiver device, implantation and extraction methods, test and assembly methods, and the like. In an example, a protection circuit includes a first control circuit to receive an RF drive signal and conditionally provide an output signal to an antenna. A second control circuit can generate a control signal based on the antenna output signal and/or information about the RF drive signal. A gain circuit can provide the RF drive signal to the first control circuit. The gain circuit can change an amplitude of the RF drive signal based on the control signal from the second control circuit.
