The slidable block can be accommodated in a radial spacing between a first end shaft and a second end shaft that are coaxially arranged and radially spaced apart from each other, and is configured to translate along an axial direction of the first end shaft and the second end shaft to realize decoupling or coupling between the first end shaft and the second end shaft. The driving component is configured to drive the slidable block to translate along the axial direction of the first end shaft and the second end shaft.

Abstract: A noncontact, multi-wavelength time-resolved laser speckle contrast imaging (MTR-LSCI) technique provides for continuous, fast and high-resolution 2D mapping of tissue blood flow (BF) and tissue blood oxygen saturation (StO2) at different depths of target tissue. MTR-LSCI illuminates the tissue with picosecond-pulsed, coherent, widefield light at least at two different wavelengths in the near-infrared range (600-1100 nm) and synchronizes a high-resolution, gated single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) camera to capture BF and StO2 maps at different depths of target tissue, wherein the imaging depth depends on light propagation inside a tissue volume, captured by the time-gated camera. The reconstruction of BF and StO2 maps can be dramatically expedited by incorporating highly parallelized computation and convolution functions. The performance of MTR-LSCI was evaluated using head-simulating phantoms with known properties and in-vivo rodents with varied hemodynamic challenges to the brain.

Abstract: Disclosed is a polarization fusion orientation method for an occluded environment, which comprises: acquiring a sky polarization image through a polarization camera first, then taking a heading angle output by an E-vector polarization orientation method as a state quantity, taking a heading angle output by a symmetry axis polarization orientation method as an observed quantity, realizing heading angle fusion through a multi-frequency variational Bayesian strong tracking cubature Kalman filter (MF-VBSTCKF), and respectively selecting different methods for a sampling position and a sampling interval period to update an optimal heading angle. The method solves the problem that high-precision and high-robustness heading angle measurement of polarized light cannot be realized in the occluded environment, can improve the precision and robustness of a polarized light orientation method in the occluded environment, and ensures high-frequency output of the heading angle at the same time.

Abstract: A best available video stream is determined for each of multiple conference participants within a conference room including multiple cameras based on scores determined for video streams obtained from the cameras. The scores are determined based on representations of the conference participants within the video streams, for example, based on percentages of conference participant faces visible within the video streams, directions of conference participant faces relative to the cameras, directions of eye gaze of the conference participants relative to the cameras, and/or degrees to which conference participant faces are obscured within the video streams. The best available video streams are output for rendering within separate user interface tiles of conferencing software.

Abstract: An integrated magnetic component has a common magnetic core portion having a first magnetic base and a second magnetic base that is spaced in a first direction from the first magnetic base; a first magnetic core column and a second magnetic core column, which extend between the first and second magnetic bases and spaced with each other along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first magnetic core column and the second magnetic core column and the first and second magnetic bases form a closed magnetic path. The first magnetic core column and the second magnetic core column have windings forming one or more common mode chokes. A middle magnetic core portion has an air gap being provided in an extension direction of the middle magnetic core portion which is made of high saturation magnetic material, and has a winding forming a decoupling inductor.

Abstract: A common mode choke (200, 1100) comprises a core (240). The common mode choke (200, 1100) further comprises a first coil (221), a second coil (222), a third coil (223), and a fourth coil (224) wound around the core (240). The common mode choke (200, 1100) is operative to attenuate any common mode component of a pair of signals. A first signal of the pair of the signals passes through two of the first through fourth coils (221, 222, 223, 224) and a second signal of the pair of the signals passes through the other two of the first through fourth coils (221, 222, 223, 224), such that at least a part of the magnetic field created by the first signal has a direction identical to that of at least a part of the magnetic field created by the second signal.

Abstract: A distributed storage system may synchronously apply an Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) policy to objects at ingest. In one embodiment of synchronous ILM, three options are available for a user: balanced, strict, and dual commit. Dual commit refers to the behavior where one will always create two replicated copies in the same site and then apply ILM asynchronously. Strict refers to the behavior where the storage system attempts to apply the ILM policy synchronously on ingest, and if the storage system cannot the ingest of the object will fail. This ensures that the storage system can guarantee that ILM has been applied to recently ingested objects. Balanced refers to the behavior where the storage system attempts to apply ILM synchronously, but if the storage system cannot the storage system may fall-back to dual-commit.
