Abstract: A depth estimation from focus method and system includes receiving input image data containing focus information, generating an intermediate attention map by an AI model, normalizing the intermediate attention map into a depth attention map via a normalization function, and deriving expected depth values for the input image data containing focus information from the depth attention map. The AI model for depth estimation can be trained unsupervisedly without ground truth depth maps. The AI model of some embodiments is a shared network estimating a depth map and reconstructing an AiF image from a set of images with different focus positions.

Abstract: A toner cartridge includes a housing having a first mouth and a second mouth, a rotator having a first opening and a second opening and being rotatably mounted on the housing in such a manner that the first and second mouths are accessible through the first and second openings respectively, and a sliding cover having a through hole and being slidably disposed on the housing in such a manner that the second mouth is closeable by the sliding cover. When the rotator is erroneously forced to rotate relative to the housing, the first mouth of the housing exposes outside through the first opening of the rotator and the second mouth of the housing will be covered by the sliding cover. Therefore, the leakage of the toner caused by a user's erroneous operation of the toner cartridge of the present invention can be effectively reduced.

Abstract: A method for MPLS link protection pre-builds backup LSP. When the LSP breaks down, it can redirect the LSP to the backup LSP within the minimal time and rearrange an auxiliary LSP after breaking down for a default time. By the guiding and the rearrangement, the method prevents the service of the MPLS from being unavailable when the MPLS breaks down and optimizes the utilization of the MPLS resources.
