  • Publication number: 20250114887
    Abstract: A method for processing frameless shell materials, relating to the technical field of mobile terminal device shell processing, is provided and includes the following steps: S1 cutting a sheet material, S2 stamping and curling, S3 CNC processing, S4 grinding and cleaning, S5 surface T processing, and S6. nano-injection molding. The present disclosure adopts a stamping method and replaces traditional metal block CNC processing, which can reduce production costs. During the stamping process, the aluminum sheet is edge-curled and thickened to enhance the strength of the shell material. By cutting a step-shaped groove for screen installation, a frameless design is achieved, thereby reducing production costs and assembly procedures. The anodizing of the U-shaped frame surface allows the plastic to fully penetrate the aluminum shell surface, thereby enhancing integration and preventing plastic parts from falling off the U-shaped frame.

  • Publication number: 20250111553
    Abstract: The present invention provides solutions for reducing biases in text-to-image diffusion models, particularly biases related to gender, race, and their intersections in occupational prompts. The invention introduces a fairness framework based on distributional alignment, comprising two core technical solutions: (1) a distributional alignment loss that adjusts the output of the model toward user-defined target distributions, and (2) an adjusted direct finetuning (adjusted DFT) of the model's sampling process using an adjusted gradient to optimize losses based on generated images. These techniques reduce bias while supporting diverse perspectives on fairness, such as age-controlled debiasing across multiple concepts. The method's scalability allows for debiasing multiple prompts simultaneously, improving the inclusivity of diffusion model outputs across varied demographics.

  • Publication number: 20250111662
    Abstract: The present invention provides solutions for identifying influential training images in diffusion models by calculating importance scores through gradient-based attribution. The system uses a novel Diffusion-Tracing with the Randomly projected After Kernel (D-TRAK) method for identifying and scoring the influence of individual training data points on the outputs of diffusion models, thereby enabling the accurate and interpretable attribution of data in generative models. This approach allows for the identification of training images that have a significant positive or negative influence on a specific generated output image. By focusing on the final checkpoint data, the system reduces computational costs while providing accurate attribution of image generation results. This invention has applications in copyright protection, and model transparency, particularly in identifying the contribution of specific training data to generated outputs.

  • Publication number: 20250087625
    Abstract: A zone heater assembly of a reflow solder tool includes a gas deflector having a single-layer structure. The single-layer structure may include one or more gas-permeating patterns through which a process gas is to flow from one or more gas outlets to a gas exhaust of the zone heater assembly. The one or more gas-permeating patterns in the single-layer structure promote uniformity of gas flow through the gas exhaust and into a heating zone of the reflow solder tool. The uniformity of the gas flow of the process gas enables convection heat provided by the process gas to be uniformly distributed across the heating zone. In this way, the gas deflector described herein may decrease hot spots and/or cold spots in the heating zone, which enables greater flexibility in placement of semiconductor package substrates on a conveyor device of the reflow solder tool.
