  • Patent number: 12029102
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide systems and methods of depositing a film on a selective area of a substrate. A first jet of a first material may be ejected from a first nozzle assembly of a jet head having a plurality of nozzle assemblies to form a first portion of a film deposition on the substrate. A second jet of a second material may be ejected from a second nozzle assembly of the plurality of nozzle assemblies, the second nozzle assembly being aligned with the first nozzle assembly parallel to a direction of motion between the plurality of nozzle assemblies and the substrate, and the second material being different than the first material.

  • Publication number: 20240080573
    Abstract: Convolutional neural networks have, over the last decade, risen to state-of-the-art for computer vision tasks such as image classification. Oftentimes these are implemented on specialized digital processors, which target high throughput operation. This is efficient when analyzing batches of images loaded from memory but is lacking when analyzing freshly-captured images on a sensor. Latency is an issue since image acquisition alone can take as long as the processing. Second, streams of images captured from sensors can result in highly redundant processing if only specific signatures needs to be recognized, leading to a high amount of wasted power. Disclosed is a way to perform convolutional processing on the image plane where the image is captured, which allows the device to only complete readout and processing when required. This reduces latency and power consumption, enabling new applications such as augmented reality and edge processing that are not possible with current technology.
