  • Publication number: 20240146218
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a Source Terminal Replication Compensation Circuit for simulating an accurate fraction of a load current. In an illustrative example, a Source Terminal Replication Compensation Circuit (STRCC) may be connected to a motor driving circuit. The STRCC, for example, may include a simulation transistor configured to have a simulated structure of a main transistor in a motor driving circuit. The STRCC may include, for example, a disturbance rejection module (DRM). The DRM may be connected to a source terminal of the sense transistor, and a source terminal of the main transistor. When the DRM is connected to a current sensing resistor, a sense current is generated as a predetermined fraction of a load current of the motor driving circuit, wherein the predetermined fraction is less than 1%. Various embodiments may advantageously reduce heat dissipations at the current sensor resistor.

  • Publication number: 20240135688
    Abstract: Introduced here is an approach to developing and then deploying machine learning models that addresses the drawbacks of conventional approaches. One objective of the approach described herein is to reduce or eliminate the need for manual labelling during the development process. To accomplish this, a surveillance system may implement self-supervised learning and knowledge distillation that rely on collaboration between its edge devices and a server system. Together, self-supervised learning and knowledge distillation ensure that the models deployed on those edge devices can be readily trained and then updated, as necessary, in order to improve inference quality without any human intervention.

  • Publication number: 20240117671
    Abstract: A cordless window covering includes a first rail, a second rail, a covering body, two pulling cords, and a cord-retracting device including a first casing and an adjusting member movably disposed on the first casing. When relative motion of the first rail and the second rail occurs, the covering body is extended or retracted, and the two pulling cords apply a first force and a second force in opposite directions to the adjusting member respectively. When the first force does not equal to the second force, the user can exert slight force on the second rail to move the adjusting member towards a side with greater force, making one of the pulling cords applying greater force to the adjusting member have its length between the first rail and the second rail elongate as the adjusting member moves, such that the non-horizontal state of the second rail can be easily corrected.
