  • Publication number: 20240169624
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that modify digital images via scene-based editing using image understanding facilitated by artificial intelligence. For instance, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems generate utilizing a segmentation neural network, an object mask for each object of a plurality of objects of a digital image. The disclosed systems detect a first user interaction with an object in the digital image displayed via a graphical user interface. The disclosed systems surface, via the graphical user interface, the object mask for the object in response to the first user interaction. The disclosed systems perform an object-aware modification of the digital image in response to a second user interaction with the object mask for the object.

  • Publication number: 20060243379
    Abstract: A method and appartus for directly laminating a first conductive or insulating layer to a second insulating layer includes electron beam irradiation through the first layer to the interface between the first layer and the second layer. The electron beam irradiation bonds the two layers together without an adhesive or other intermediate layer. The method and apparatus utilizes an electron beam exposure system in a soft vacuum environment. Heat from the electron beam irradiation or from a separate heating element accelerates and increases the lamination of the first and second layers.
