  • Patent number: 12276499
    Abstract: Disclosed is a low-energy-consumption floating automatic oceanographic and meteorological observation platform, comprising a meteorological observation module, a sea surface monitoring module, and a profile observation module. The meteorological observation module is configured to provide a buoyant platform for realizing observation of meteorological data while guaranteeing power supply and providing a space for equipment placement. The sea surface monitoring module is configured to realize observation of sea surface data while preventing the buoyant platform from drifting. The profile observation module is located below the meteorological observation module and configured to complete automatic observation of an ocean profile in a low-energy-consumption manner. Gravity is regulated to change a combined force of buoyancy and gravity to realize upward or downward movements of the device, which effectively replaces the conventional high energy consumption program.

  • Patent number: 12189899
    Abstract: Techniques for rejecting apparent (but false) touches caused by objects such as water droplets located in areas with parasitic capacitive paths to ground are disclosed. To minimize these false touches, one or more guard conductors can be located in proximity to the housing and driven with a stimulation signal to shield objects from being capacitively coupled to ground through the housing. In some examples images of touch can be obtained from a non-bootstrapped or bootstrapped scan and also an extended bootstrapped scan wherein the guard conductor is driven with a stimulation signal that has the same characteristics as the stimulation signal being applied to the sensed touch nodes. In some examples, the results of the extended bootstrapped scan can be subtracted from the non-bootstrapped or bootstrapped scan to identify and reject apparent touches resulting from capacitive coupling to ground.

  • Publication number: 20240320931
    Abstract: An augmented reality. AR, computing server (200) includes a network interface (202), a processor (204), and a memory (206) storing instructions executable by the processor to perform operations. The network interface is configured to receive through a network a three-dimensional (3D) video stream from a user device during a conference session. The operations identify a video object captured in the 3D video stream, and determine a pose of the video object captured in the 3D video stream. The operations obtain AR context information from an AR display device indicating how the video object is to be posed relative to a physical object viewable through a see-through display of the AR display device, and adjust pose of the video object captured in the 3D video stream based on the AR context information. The operations output the video object to the see-through display for display. Related methods and computer program products are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11620021
    Abstract: Cross-coupling correction techniques on a touch sensor panel can be improved using machine learning models (particularly for touch sensor panels with relatively low signal-to-noise ratio). In some examples, the machine learning model can be implemented using a neural network. The neural network can receive a touch image and perform cross-coupling correction to mitigate cross-talk due to routing traces of the touch sensor panel. Mitigating cross-talk can improve touch sensing accuracy, reduce jitter, and/or reduce false positive touch detection.

  • Publication number: 20220197478
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for cursor control and an electronic device. The method includes that a cursor control area is displayed in an interface in response to a display instruction of the cursor control area. The cursor control area includes a displacement area and a continuous movement area surrounding the displacement area. The cursor control area further comprises a control identifier capable of moving in the cursor control area. The cursor is controlled to move in the interface in response to a movement operation on the control identifier. When the control identifier moves in the displacement area, a cursor velocity at which the cursor moves in the interface is associated with a control identifier velocity at which the control identifier moves. When the control identifier moves from the displacement area to the continuous movement area, the cursor moves in the interface at a first velocity.
