  • Patent number: 12090738
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a screen protector assembly, a screen protector applying assembly and a screen protector applicator. The screen protector assembly comprises a screen protector layer, a retention layer and a first matching member. The retention layer is bonded to the screen protector layer. The first matching member is fixedly connected to the retention layer, and the first matching member is used to be detachably connected to a protector applying assembly. With the above arrangement, a detachable connection between the retention layer of the screen protector assembly and the protector applying assembly is realized, allowing the retention layer to be detached from the protector applying assembly after a protector is applied to a screen, thereby allowing the protector applying assembly to be reused, and saving costs.

  • Publication number: 20240297700
    Abstract: A wireless federated learning (FL) framework and a resource optimization method are provided to resolve a problem that FL is not suitable for many hardware-constrained Internet of Things (IoT) devices with a small amount of computing resources. In the framework, users with sufficient computing resources upload locally trained model parameters to a base station, and users with limited computing resources only need to send training data to the base station. The base station performs data training and model aggregation to obtain a global model. In this way, the users with limited computing resources and the users with sufficient computing resources cooperatively train the global model. To improve a data transmission rate and reduce an aggregation error of FL, a non-convex optimization problem is constructed to jointly design user transmit power and a reception strategy of the base station, and solves the problem through a successive convex approximation (SCA) method.
