  • Patent number: 11895802
    Abstract: A computational heat dissipation structure includes a circuit board including a plurality of heating components; and a radiator provided corresponding to the circuit board; wherein a space between the adjacent heating components is negatively correlated with heat dissipation efficiency of a region where the adjacent heating components are located. Since the space between the adjacent heating components of the disclosure is negatively correlated with the heat dissipation efficiency of the region where the adjacent heating components are located, i.e., the higher the heat dissipation efficiency of the region where the adjacent heating components are located is, the smaller the space between the adjacent heating components in the region will be, the heat dissipation efficiencies corresponding to the heating components are balanced, and load of a fan is reduced.

  • Patent number: 11887344
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for encoding information in a graphic image. The information may be encoded so as to have a visual appearance that adopts a particular style, so that the encoded information is visually pleasing in the environment in which it is displayed. An encoder and decoder are trained during an integrated training process, where the encoder is tuned to minimize a loss when its encoded images are decoded. Similarly, the decoder is also trained to minimize loss when decoding the encoded images. Both the encoder and decoder may utilize a convolutional neural network in some aspects to analyze data and/or images. Once data is encoded, a style from a sample image is transferred to the encoded data. When decoding, the decoder may largely ignore the style aspects of the encoded data and decode based on a content portion of the data.

  • Patent number: 11861854
    Abstract: Dense feature scale detection can be implemented using multiple convolutional neural networks trained on scale data to more accurately and efficiently match pixels between images. An input image can be used to generate multiple scaled images. The multiple scaled images are input into a feature net, which outputs feature data for the multiple scaled images. An attention net is used to generate an attention map from the input image. The attention map assigns emphasis as a soft distribution to different scales based on texture analysis. The feature data and the attention data can be combined through a multiplication process and then summed to generate dense features for comparison.
