Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a dual-modality neuromorphic vision sensor. A first-type current-mode active pixel sensor (APS) circuit can mimic excitatory rod cells, to perceive light intensity gradient information in a target light signal, thereby improving a dynamic arrange of an image sensed by a neuromorphic, vision sensor and its shooting speed. In addition, a first-type control switch is introduced for each of non-target first-type photosensitive devices, to control the obtained light intensity gradient information, and adjust the dynamic arrange of the image sensed by the neuromorphic vision sensor, thereby adjusting the shooting speed, and realizing a reconfigurable effect A voltage-mode APS can mimic cone cells, to output a target voltage signal representing light intensity information in the target light signal, and perceive the light intensity information in the target light signal.

Abstract: A temperature fuse assembly for a high-power DC circuit is provided. The temperature fuse assembly includes a case extending from a first case end to a second case end and an isolated lead projecting from the second case end. A bushing electrically isolates the isolated lead from the case. A high-gauge wire is electrically connected to the case at a first wire end and electrically connected to the isolated lead at a second wire end. A portion of the high-gauge wire is helically wound about an exterior of the bushing. When a temperature of the temperature fuse assembly exceeds a threshold temperature, the temperature fuse assembly is configured to conduct a DC current of the high-power DC circuit through the high-gauge wire. The high-gauge wire is configured to melt under a load of the DC current and interrupt the high-power DC circuit.

Abstract: An aluminum borate whisker reinforced and toughened non-metallic matrix composite is provided, which specifically includes a non-metallic material reinforced and toughened with aluminum borate whiskers. The composite exhibits a higher bending strength and fracture toughness and a higher wear resistance. A method for preparing the composite is also provided. The method includes mixing the aluminum borate whiskers and the non-metallic material to form a mixture; and sintering the mixture by a vacuum hot press method, or molding the mixture.

Abstract: Methods of treating autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus using domain antibodies that specifically bind human CD28 are provided. The methods may comprise at least one administration cycle comprising one dose of the domain antibody. The method reduces symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus compared to placebo.

Abstract: A multi-function flashlight that includes a flashlight body, an optic having a focusing portion and a non-focusing portion, a main LED positioned to direct light through the focusing portion, and one or more additional LEDs positioned to direct light through the non-focusing portion. A power source may be disposed within the flashlight body adapted to provide power to the main and additional LEDs, and a first control may be included that is configured to selectively provide power to the primary LED.

Abstract: A method of treating an inflammatory bowel disease is provided. The method comprises administration of an antibody polypeptide that specifically binds a novel epitope of human CD40. The antibody polypeptides do not exhibit CD40 agonist activity. The antibody polypeptides may be fusions of a domain antibody (dAb) comprising a single VL or VH domain and an Fc domain.

Abstract: A work light including a body with an upper portion having a slot defined therein, the slot encompassing a pivoting portion, the pivoting portion carrying a lens and a light source, the pivoting portion pivoting the lens and the light source in an arc of at least about 180 degrees.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method for multi-picture control in a video conference, a related device, and a storage medium. An MCU supports a multi-site video conference; and in the method, the process executed by the MCU comprises: when a conference is initially started, the MCU sending unified conference site picture information to a video terminal in each conference site; and during the conference, the MCU sending corresponding customized conference site picture information to some video terminals according to conference site picture customization requests of the video terminals.

Abstract: Disclosed are flashlights that optimize the light output and beam focus of both a flood beam and a spot beam. The disclosed flashlights include a housing member and a lens including a first focusing element adapted to shape a light beam into a spot beam and a second focusing element adapted to shape a light beam into a flood beam. A first LED is positioned to direct light through the first focusing element, and a second LED positioned to direct light through the second focusing element. The first LED has a smaller die than the second LED, and the distance between the first LED and the first focusing element is greater than the distance between the second LED and the second focusing element.
