  • Publication number: 20250054510
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of bionic covert underwater acoustic communication, and specifically relates to a feature extraction-based imitated marine mammal sound signal covertness scoring method. The scoring method combines feature engineering to extract six universal features of a marine mammal sound signal from the perspective of human hearing and a signal waveform, and uses these features to obtain a second bionic signal covertness score through a weight coefficient formula. The covertness scoring method can characterize intrinsic information of the bionic signal in more detail from more perspectives of the signal to more accurately evaluate a difference between the bionic signal and a real signal, and the obtained score value can more intuitively describe the quality of the bionic signal covertness.

  • Publication number: 20240259980
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for user equipment (UE) registering, an electronic device and a storage medium. Under 5G core network slice isolation networking, when an AMF network element detects that a UE is unsuccessfully registered on the AMF network element, the AMF network element sends to the UE a registration reject message comprising at least a first cell and a second cell. In this way, when the UE sends registration information again, the UE can select target network slice information based on network slice information configured in the first cell. And a 5G base station, when receiving the registration information from the UE, determines a corresponding target AMF network element based on the target network slice information in the requested NSSAI, such that the UE can be successfully registered to the target AMF network element.

  • Patent number: 11967291
    Abstract: A display may have a pixel array such as a liquid crystal pixel array. The pixel array may be illuminated by a backlight unit that includes an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The backlight unit may determine the type of content in the image data. The backlight unit may decide to prioritize either mitigating halo or mitigating clipping based on the type of content. The determination of the type of content in the image data may be used to determine the brightness values for the LEDs in the LED array. If the content is determined to be a first type of content, at least one given LED in the LED array may have a different brightness value than if the content is determined to be a second, different type of content. Classifying content in the image data may be useful in optimizing visible artifacts such as visible halo and clipping.

  • Patent number: 10732520
    Abstract: Methods and systems for optimizing a set of measurement library control parameters for a particular metrology application are presented herein. Measurement signals are collected from one or more metrology targets by a target measurement system. Values of user selected parameters of interest are resolved by fitting a pre-computed measurement library function to the measurement signals for a given set of library control parameters. Values of one or more library control parameters are optimized such that differences between the values of the parameters of interest estimated by the library based measurement and reference values associated with trusted measurements of the parameters of interest are minimized. The optimization of the library control parameter values is performed without recalculating the pre-computed measurement library.
