  • Publication number: 20240135514
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that modify digital images via multi-layered scene completion techniques facilitated by artificial intelligence. For instance, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems receive a digital image portraying a first object and a second object against a background, where the first object occludes a portion of the second object. Additionally, the disclosed systems pre-process the digital image to generate a first content fill for the portion of the second object occluded by the first object and a second content fill for a portion of the background occluded by the second object. After pre-processing, the disclosed systems detect one or more user interactions to move or delete the first object from the digital image. The disclosed systems further modify the digital image by moving or deleting the first object and exposing the first content fill for the portion of the second object.

    Abstract: A charge pump circuit and phase-locked loop include start, bias, current mirror, charging and discharging feedback control, and charging and discharging matching modules, which are electrically connected in sequence. The start module starts the bias module. The bias module generates constant bias current and outputs same to the current mirror module, which receives and amplifies the bias current for output in two paths. The charging and discharging feedback control module detects the output voltage of a charge pump and controls, according to feedback of the output voltage, the current in the charging and discharging matching module, to suppress the mismatch between charging and discharging currents. The charging and discharging matching module receives an external charging or discharging control signal, to charge or discharge the output load of the charge pump. Charging and discharging currents can be matched within a wide output voltage range, without an operational amplifier.

  • Patent number: 11199495
    Abstract: The invention relates to a terahertz full polarization state detection spectrometer, which comprises a terahertz wave generator, a polarizer, a polarization splitter, a horizontal terahertz detector and a vertical terahertz detector. The terahertz wave generator generates a terahertz wave and the polarizer optimizes the terahertz wave for purity. The sample to be detected modulates the terahertz wave after purity optimization to obtain the terahertz modulated wave. The terahertz modulated wave is decomposed by the polarization splitter into a horizontal terahertz wave and a vertical terahertz wave whose polarization states are perpendicular to each other. The two terahertz waves are detected by two corresponding terahertz detectors respectively. According to the detected result, the characteristic of the sample is analyzed.
