  • Publication number: 20230254991
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230237706
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230229640
    Abstract: A collaborative data schema management system for federated learning (i.e., federated data manager (FDM)) is provided. Among other things, FDM enables the members of a federated learning alliance to (1) propose data schemas for use by the alliance, (2) identify and bind local datasets to proposed schemas, (3) create, based on the proposed schemas, training datasets for addressing various ML tasks, and (4) control, for each training dataset, which of the local datasets bound to that training dataset (and thus, which alliance members) will actually participate in the training of a particular ML model. FDM enables these features while ensuring that the contents of the members' local datasets remain hidden from each other, thereby preserving the privacy of that data.

  • Publication number: 20230221205
    Abstract: This application provides a method for box leak detection and a leak detection system, and relates to the field of leak detection technologies. The method for box leak detection may include: filling a box under test with a tracer gas, where the box under test has a plurality of positions under test; and measuring a leak rate at each position under test. Leak detection may be performed on each position under test of the box under test. In this way, not only a specific leak position can be determined, so that leak-proof treatment may be subsequently performed on the leak position in a targeted manner, but also the leak rate at each position under test can be measured, providing a basis for a level of to-be-taken leak-proof measures and whether to take leak-proof measures, thereby improving accuracy of box leak detection.

  • Patent number: 11684789
    Abstract: A biostimulator, such as a leadless pacemaker, including a header assembly having an electrical feedthrough assembly incorporating a helix mount, is described. The header assembly includes a fixation element mounted on the helix mount. The helix mount is mounted on a flange of the electrical feedthrough assembly, and thus, the fixation element can attach the leadless biostimulator to a target tissue. An electrode of the electrical feedthrough assembly is mounted within the flange to deliver a pacing impulse to the target tissue. A ceramic portion of the helix mount is disposed between the flange and the electrode to block an electrical path between the electrode and the flange. Accordingly, the helix mount both retains the fixation element on the leadless biostimulator and electrically isolates the flange and electrode components of the electrical feedthrough. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
