  • Publication number: 20240144073
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide determination of a model script for training a first machine learning model based on input training data, determination of a metrics script for determining one or more performance metric values associated with the trained first machine learning model based on validation data, and compilation of the model script and the metrics script into an executable file.

  • Patent number: 11806982
    Abstract: A multilayer laminate panel comprising a first layer of a stone-based material and a second layer of a dissimilar material of lower density, which are interposed by one or more layers of resin-impregnated fibers, is provided. The dissimilar material comprises cork or a derivative of cork, and the thickness of the layer of stone-based material is from about 2 mm to about 50 mm. A process for the production of the panel is also provided. The panel finds use as a coating in a variety of interior and exterior applications. A panel comprising fixing means and a process for attaching the fixing means to the panel are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9712174
    Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide calibration for a spread spectrum PLL device modulator. A first calibration loop includes a cross correlator to correlate a sequence of random or pseudo-random signals injected into a signal path of the PLL device to a phase error signal of the PLL device. A second calibration loop includes a bandwidth tuner to tune a bandwidth of the PLL device and to reduce a jitter of the PLL device.

  • Publication number: 20120242619
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter refers to a method and device for low latency multipoint control and detection applied to, for example, a capacitive grid. The grid includes or consists of a series of conductive microfilaments, placed between two transparent plates or layers, arranged in interconnected rows and columns forming a matrix. The electromagnetic field reading enables the detection of objects which are in the vicinity of or in contact therewith. The disclosed subject matter shows high sensitivity enabling the detection of electrically-loaded air and/or vapour, more specifically the detection of intensity, direction and location of an expelled air or vapour mass, also providing a simultaneous touch detection. The disclosed subject matter is useful in boosting interaction capacities between systems and users, the invention being also possibly applied in detection/interaction systems (either simultaneous, or not).

  • Publication number: 20080310732
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, apparatus and computer program product for providing contour information related to images. An image obtaining unit obtains a set of interrelated images (step 26), an image segmenting unit segments said images, (step 28) and a contour determining unit (22) extracts at least two contours from the segmentation (step 30), selects interest points on the contours of each image (step 32), associates interest points with corresponding reconstructed points by means of three-dimensional reconstruction (step 34), projects reconstructed points into the images (step 36), and links reconstructed points not projected at a junction or their projections to each other in order to provide a first set of links (step 38), such that at least a reasonable part of a contour of an object can be determined based on the linked reconstructed points.
