Abstract: This disclosure includes technologies for action recognition in general. The disclosed system may automatically detect various types of actions in a video, including reportable actions that cause shrinkage in a practical application for loss prevention in the retail industry. Further, appropriate responses may be invoked if a reportable action is recognized. In some embodiments, a three-branch architecture may be used in a machine learning model for action and/or activity recognition. The three-branch architecture may include a main branch for action recognition, an auxiliary branch for learning/identifying an actor (e.g., human parsing) related to an action, and an auxiliary branch for learning/identifying a scene related to an action. In this three-branch architecture, the knowledge of the actor and the scene may be integrated in two different levels for action and/or activity recognition.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and a device for laser-assisted electrochemical composite deposition using a rifling-type hollow rotating electrode, which relate to the field of micro-composite processing in special processing technologies. A center of a laser beam is allowed to pass through a rifling-type hollow rotating electrode and focus onto a cathode substrate. When the rifling-type hollow rotating electrode is rotated at a constant speed, an electrodeposition solution rotates in the rifling-type hollow rotating electrode and generates a certain centripetal force to improve the precision and localization of deposition. During the process of the present invention, an internal rifling structure of the electrode is rotated at a high speed so that the deposition solution generates a centripetal force. The internal rifling structure and an external helical structure of the rifling-type hollow rotating electrode make the deposition solution move upward to form a “self-circulation” system.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating a multi-label classification system. The multi-label classification system can use a multi-label classification neural network system to identify one or more labels for an image. The multi-label classification system can explicitly take into account the relationship between classes in identifying labels. A relevance sub-network of the multi-label classification neural network system can capture relevance information between the classes. Such a relevance sub-network can decouple independence between classes to focus learning on relevance between the classes.

Abstract: The disclosed front end architectures are configured to conglomerate duplexer transmission (TX) contours into a specific or targeted region. This enables the power amplifier (PA) to match a larger number of frequency bands without the help of additional matching networks. The disclosed architectures are advantageous because they reduce the number of components (e.g., surface mount technology components (SMTs)) required for radio-frequency (RF) modules, such as front end modules, power amplifier modules, and the like. The disclosed architectures are also advantageous because they improve performance of the modules across a wider range of frequency bands.
