  • Publication number: 20230006577
    Abstract: A control circuit applied to a lifting platform controls a motor to adjust the height of a platform. The control circuit includes an AC/DC conversion circuit, a DC/DC conversion circuit, a detection unit, and a control unit. The detection unit detects an output end of the AC/DC conversion circuit and provides a detection signal. The control unit provides a PWM signal according to the detection signal to control the DC/DC conversion circuit so that the DC/DC conversion circuit converts a DC voltage to an output voltage. When the control unit realizes that the DC voltage or a DC power provided by the AC/DC conversion circuit is less than a power supply threshold according to the detection signal, the control unit decreases a duty cycle of the PWM signal to maintain the DC voltage or the DC power to be greater than or equal to the power supply threshold.

  • Publication number: 20220270208
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a super-resolution engine that converts a lower resolution input image into a higher resolution output image. The super-resolution engine includes a directional scaler, an enhancement processor, a feature detection processor, a blending logic circuit, and a neural network. The directional scaler generates directionally scaled image data by upscaling the input image. The enhancement processor generates enhanced image data by applying an example-based enhancement, a peaking filter, or some other type of non-neural network image processing scheme to the directionally scaled image data. The feature detection processor determines features indicating properties of portions of the directionally scaled image data. The neural network generates residual values defining differences between a target result of the super-resolution enhancement and the directionally scaled image data. The blending logic circuit blends the enhanced image data with the residual values according to the features.

  • Patent number: 11049557
    Abstract: A mechanism is described for accommodating variations in the read or write window which are caused by variations in the number of half-selected cells which are in each logic state and share an access line with the target cell. Roughly described, leakage current is detected on the access line in one segment of the read or write operation, and read or write current detected or generated in a second segment of the operation is adjusted to compensate for the detected leakage current. The first segment can be omitted in subsequent read or write operations if the target cell word line address has not changed and the leakage-tracked reference value has not become invalid for other reasons.
