Publication number: 20240237800Abstract: A haircare appliance includes a pressure sensor for generating a pressure signal indicative of air pressure within an airflow path, the pressure sensor being upstream of an airflow generator. A controller is configured to estimate, based at least partly on the pressure signal, a blockage factor corresponding to an amount by which the airflow path is blocked.

MULTI-LEVEL GRAPH PROGRAMMING INTERFACES FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE PROCESSING FLOW ON AI PROCESSING UNIT
Publication number: 20230342118Abstract: A graph application programming interface (API) is used to control an image processing flow. A system receives graph API calls to add nodes to respective subgraphs. The system further receives a given graph API call to add a control flow node to a main graph. The given graph API call identifies the subgraphs as parameters. The main graph includes the control flow node connected to other nodes by edges that are directed and acyclic. A graph compiler compiles the main graph and the subgraphs into corresponding executable code. At runtime, a condition is evaluated before the subgraphs identified in the given graph API call are executed. One or more target devices execute the corresponding executable code to perform operations of an image processing pipeline while skipping execution of one or more of the subgraphs depending on the condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Yu-Chieh Lin, Hungchun Liu, Po-Yuan Jeng, Yungchih Chiu, Cheng-Hsun Hsieh, Chia-Yu Chang, Li-Ming Chen -
