Abstract: A method for adjusting a line width and a line gap of a differential signal pair includes performing a new parameter setting step, a distance difference of center calculating step, a reference polygon generating step and a differential signal pair adjusting step. The new parameter setting step is performed to set a new line width and a new line gap of the new differential signal line pair.

The reference polygon generating step is performed to generate a reference polygon from an original center line of the original differential signal line pair. The differential signal pair adjusting step is performed to adjust the reference polygon to the new differential signal line pair.

Abstract: In various examples, a deep three-dimensional (3D) conditional generative model is implemented that can synthesize high resolution 3D shapes using simple guides—such as coarse voxels, point clouds, etc.—by marrying implicit and explicit 3D representations into a hybrid 3D representation. The present approach may directly optimize for the reconstructed surface, allowing for the synthesis of finer geometric details with fewer artifacts. The systems and methods described herein may use a deformable tetrahedral grid that encodes a discretized signed distance function (SDF) and a differentiable marching tetrahedral layer that converts the implicit SDF representation to an explicit surface mesh representation. This combination allows joint optimization of the surface geometry and topology as well as generation of the hierarchy of subdivisions using reconstruction and adversarial losses defined explicitly on the surface mesh.

Abstract: A method for information processing, a device, and a computer readable storage medium are provided. The method includes the following. At an in-vehicle electronic device, in response to a determination that a received voice input is associated with switching a source device for switching a rendered content shown at the in-vehicle electronic device, voiceprint information of the voice input is obtained. A user identity corresponding to the voiceprint information is identified. A mapping table between user identities and connected electronic devices or connectable electronic devices is searched for a first electronic device corresponding to the identified user identity. In response to searching out the first electronic device, a first channel for transmission of rendered content between the in-vehicle electronic device and the first electronic device is established, so as to render a first presenting content which is received from the first electronic device through the first channel.

Abstract: A method, computer readable medium, and system are disclosed for identifying residual video data. This data describes data that is lost during a compression of original video data. For example, the original video data may be compressed and then decompressed, and this result may be compared to the original video data to determine the residual video data. This residual video data is transformed into a smaller format by means of encoding, binarizing, and compressing, and is sent to a destination. At the destination, the residual video data is transformed back into its original format and is used during the decompression of the compressed original video data to improve a quality of the decompressed original video data.
