  • Publication number: 20240312621
    Abstract: A system and a method for monitoring activities of an object. The method comprises the steps of: providing a depth image capturing at least a part of the object and an item of supporting furniture, wherein the item of supporting furniture is provided with a support surface arranged to physically support the object to be disposed thereon, and the object is movable relative to the item of supporting furniture; processing the depth image to determine an activity of the object and the item of supporting furniture including the support surface being captured in the depth image; analyse the objects posture and location using AI models that are trained using depth images and/or using the skeleton of the object; analyses the intention of the object's movement; and generating an alert upon a determination of the activity of the object being identified as a risky activity.

  • Publication number: 20240257495
    Abstract: A training system and a training method for a human-presence detection model are provided. The training method includes: obtaining, by a distance sensor and a temperature sensor, a plurality of training samples; dividing the plurality of training samples into a first data cluster and a second data cluster according to whether or not an input interface of the host device is in a used state; marking the first data cluster as a human-presence cluster; selecting a sub-cluster from the second data cluster; marking the sub-cluster as a human-absence cluster; and performing machine learning for the human-presence cluster and the human-absence cluster to generate the human-presence detection model. The first data cluster corresponds to the used state. A center point of the sub-cluster corresponds to a maximum distance value and a minimum temperature value.

  • Patent number: 12048032
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods which increase the throughput of a TCP-based communication between a first network node and a second network node. First, the first network node sent a first plurality of TCP segments to the second network node. Second, when the second network node receives a second plurality of TCP segments, which is all or part of the first plurality of the TCP segments, the second network node responds by sending one or more TCP acknowledgements to the first network node with the last sequence number of a last segment among all TCP segment within the second plurality of TCP segments. The present disclosure are able to increase the throughput of a TCP connection while decreasing its reliability.

  • Publication number: 20190280615
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a modulation method and apparatus based on a three-phase neutral point clamped inverter. The method includes outputting a control signal for controlling all the switch elements of one of the three bridge arms to be in a non-conducting state, controlling states of the switch elements of the other two bridge arms to make the three-phase neutral point clamped inverter output a single-phase signal, wherein the two bridge arms are referred to as a first single-phase bridge arm and a second single-phase bridge arm, when controlling both switch elements connected to the first input end and switch elements connected to the second input end in the first single-phase bridge arm and the second single-phase bridge arm to be in the non-conducting state, controlling two of the other switch elements in the first single-phase bridge arm and the second single-phase bridge arm to be in a conducting state to provide a freewheeling loop for an inductive current of the inverter.

  • Patent number: 10013475
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a computer program product for rebalancing partitioned data based, at least in part, on limit key extrapolation in a database and one or more characteristics of the plurality of database partitions. Responsive to a determination that an upper limit key value of the last loaded record is greater than an upper limit key value of an empty partition, the computer redefines the upper limit key value of the empty partition using an extrapolated upper limit key value that is based, at least in part, on a range of limit key values. The computer updates one or more characteristics of the database, wherein the one or more characteristics include one or both of a) an average number of records per partition, and b) an average number of unique limit key values per partition.
