  • Publication number: 20260306944
    Abstract: A computing system generates a trained super-resolution model using correlated high-resolution and low-resolution image pairs. A first image generator produces high-resolution images, which are processed by a downscaler network to create corresponding low-resolution images. The downscaler network is trained using an initial set of image pairs. Additional high-resolution images are generated and processed by the downscaler network to produce additional low-resolution images, forming a second set of image pairs. The super-resolution model is trained using the second set of image pairs. The trained super-resolution model processes low-resolution images to generate enhanced images with improved detail and reduced artifacts. The model can be used to increase resolution of input images or refine details without changing resolution. The trained model may be deployed on different devices and applied across various rendering environments.

  • Patent number: 7792788
    Abstract: A collaborative editing system defines operational transforms for transforming conflicting operations on styles of the text of the document. The operational transforms ensure that local copies of the document will be consistent when it is in a quiescent state. The operational transforms are defined so that most conflicts can be resolved based on analysis of a remote operation and a local operation only. Certain conflicts, however, cannot be resolved based solely on analysis of the local and remote operations themselves. Such a conflict is referred to as a “definite conflict.” The collaborative editing system resolves definite conflicts by designating one of the computer systems as a distinguished computer system and giving priority to its operation. When a definite conflict arises, then the local computer system and the remote computer system recognize the conflict and resolve the conflict in favor of the operation of the distinguished computer system.
