  • Publication number: 20240135900
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for graphics processing, such as producing a smooth transition between images of different dynamic ranges (e.g., Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) images and High Dynamic Range (HDR) images). An example method generally includes using a high frame rate during a transition period to allow properties of images to incrementally vary. The properties may include brightness (i.e., luminance), color gamut, tone mapping, among others. For example, during the transition period, a subset of HDR images are displayed at a second frame rate (e.g., 120 Hz) higher than a frame rate based on the HDR images (e.g., 30 Hz). Simultaneously, a brightness level (as well as other aspects) of the display panel is adjusted incrementally from an SDR brightness level to an HDR brightness level during the transition time period over the subset of the HDR images.

  • Patent number: 11965578
    Abstract: A design method for an inerter with adaptively adjusted inertia ratio is based on a lead screw-flywheel inerter, which is to change the positions of mass blocks on a flywheel along the radial direction of the flywheel, so as to change of the moment of inertia of the flywheel, and thus to realize adaptive adjustment of the inertia ratio of the inerter. Specifically, the change of angular velocity of the flywheel is caused by the change of an external force load on a lead screw, a centrifugal force on the mass blocks in spring-mass block structures is changed by the angular velocity, and the positions of the mass blocks in the radial direction of the flywheel is determined by the balanced relation of the centrifugal force and a spring restore force, so that the design purpose is achieved.

  • Patent number: 11966428
    Abstract: A training system produces a resource-efficient machine-trained model via a training architecture that employs plural processing paths. Some of the processing paths incorporate the use of auxiliary information that imparts external knowledge about source items being processed. The training architecture also employs contrastive learning that operates at different respective levels within the training architecture. For instance, the training architecture uses encoder-level contrastive learning to compare output information generated by different encoders within the training architecture. The training architecture uses decoder-level contrastive learning to compare output information produced by different decoders within the training architecture. An inference-stage system performs an application task using the model produced by the training system.
