  • Patent number: 11715001
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a computer-implemented method. The method may comprise estimating a value range of a water body parameter based on measured data for a water quality indicator of a first set of time-spatial points and measured data for the water quality indicator of a second set of time-spatial points; and determining an optimal value of the water body parameter from the estimated value range by comparing the measured data for the water quality indicator of the second set and simulated data for the water quality indicator of the second set, wherein the simulated data for the water quality indicator of the second set is obtained based on a fluid dynamic model using the measured data for the water quality indicator of the first set as an input of the fluid dynamic model and using a value in the estimated value range as a parameter of the fluid dynamic model.

  • Patent number: 11683604
    Abstract: An image sensor includes an array of multiple-photodiode cells, each photodiode coupled through a selection transistor to a floating diffusion of the cell, the selection transistors controlled by respective transfer lines, a reset, a sense source follower, and a read transistor coupled from the source follower to a data line. The array includes phase detection rows with phase detection cells and normal cells; and a compensation row of more cells. In embodiments, each phase detection row has cells with at least one photodiode coupled to the floating diffusion by selection transistors controlled by a transfer line separate from transfer lines of selection transistors of adjacent normal cells of the row. In embodiments, the compensation row has cells with photodiodes coupled to the floating diffusion by selection transistors controlled by a transfer line separate from transfer lines of selection transistors of adjacent normal cells of the compensation row.

  • Publication number: 20230077126
    Abstract: Aspects of subject technology provide systems and methods for generation and distribution of a stable identifier associated with multiple aliases of a user account. The stable identifier may be provided to various electronic devices by a server, responsive to requests associated with communications to those devices from one of the associated aliases. In this way, messaging applications can utilize the stable identifier to merge conversations from a single user having multiple aliases, and secure access to a secure device can be provided to an authorized user, even if the authorized user attempts access from an unauthorized account alias.
