Abstract: A point cloud decoding method is applied to a decoder and includes the following. Reconstructed attribute information of occupied neighbouring nodes of a current node and reconstructed attribute information of occupied same-level neighbouring child nodes of a child node of the current node are determined. An attribute prediction value of the child node of the current node is determined according to the reconstructed attribute information of the occupied neighbouring nodes and the reconstructed attribute information of the occupied same-level neighbouring child nodes of the child node of the current node. A first transformed coefficient is determined by performing region adaptive hierarchal transform (RAHT) on the attribute prediction value, and reconstructed attribute information of the child node of the current node is determined according to the first transformed coefficient.

Abstract: Methods and systems capture sounds on multiple sensors of a device worn by a user to produce streams of audio signals as preliminary audio output, transform the streams of audio signals and extract features from a resulting transform of the audio signals, and denoise the preliminary audio output by inputting the extracted features to a statistical model or neural network. As a result, a processed signal having a higher SNR than the preliminary audio output is produced. A humanly perceptible output in the form of transcribed text or a voiced version of the user' speech may be generated from the processed signal. The wearable device may be an earbud having microphones dedicated to capture sound conducted through air in an environment in which the user is situated and speech of the user conducted through bone of the user to one of the sensors.

Abstract: A thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is positioned to move heat away from a hot spot on a semiconductor chip and toward a dielectric substrate. This approach to thermal management is particularly effective when used in conjunction with a buried rail and back side power delivery. The TEC may be in a layer that contains solder connections be between two device layers an IC package. Alternatively, the TEC may be in a metal interconnect structure over the semiconductor substrate such as in a passivation stack at the top of the metal interconnect structure. TECs at either of these locations may be formed by wafer-level processing.

Abstract: A vertical probe includes opposite first and third sides, and opposite second and fourth sides. The third and fourth sides extend in a planar manner from a body to a tip portion. The first and second sides include first and second upper plane segments at the body, first and second transition segments at the tip portion, and first and second lower plane segments closer to the third and fourth sides than the first and second upper plane segments are, respectively. The first and second transition segments gradually approach the third and fourth sides as they extend from the first and second upper plane segments to the first and second lower plane segments. The first transition and lower plane segments are realized by laser processing. The vertical probe can contact small conductive contacts with good current resistance, structural strength, lifespan, and processing accuracy. When applied to a probe head, breaking or shifting position of the tip portion due to vertical movement can be avoided.

Abstract: A power conditioner with neutral line offset current compensation function, includes a power converter, a measurement unit, a control module, and two coupling capacitors connected through the neutral line to a three-phase AC grid. The power conditioner eliminates the offset current on the neutral line by compensating the inaccuracies in the measurement unit with the control module, thus minimizing the voltage deviation of the coupling capacitors. Compared to traditional control circuits, a feedback path is added to achieve the elimination of the neutral line offset current, suppressing unstable and unpredictable voltage fluctuations on the coupling capacitors without affecting the rated power transmission of the power converter, thus extending the lifespan of the coupling capacitors and enabling the power conditioner to operate more stably.
