Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for reducing GPU load by programmatically controlling shading rates in computer graphics. GPU load may be reduced by applying different shading rates to different screen regions. By reading the depth buffer of previous frames and performing image processing, thresholds may be calculated that control the shading rates. The approach may be run on any platform that supports VRS hardware and primitive- or image-based VRS. The approach may be applied on a graphics driver installed on a client device, in a firmware layer between hardware and a driver, in a software layer between a driver and an application, or in hardware on the client device. The approach is flexible and adaptable and calculates and sets the variable rate shading based on the graphics generated by an application without requiring the application developer to manually set variable rate shading.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a metal back cover, a metal frame, and a first, second, third, and fourth radiators. The metal frame includes a discrete part and two connection parts. The connection parts are located by two sides of the discrete part, separated from the discrete part, and connected to the metal back cover. A U-shaped slot is formed between the discrete part and the metal back cover and between the discrete part and the connection parts. The first radiator is separated from the discrete part and includes a feed end. The second, third, and fourth radiators are connected to the discrete part and the metal back cover. The third radiator is located between the first and second radiators. The first radiator is located between the third and fourth radiators. The discrete part and the first, second, third, and fourth radiators form an antenna module together.

Abstract: Provided herein are compounds, enzyme substrates, compositions, kits, uses, and methods for detecting the presence or absence of a caspase enzyme, measuring the activity of a caspase enzyme, or detecting the presence or absence of apoptosis. The detection or measurement can occur through intracellular cleavage of a compound or enzyme substrate, which can lead to an increase in fluorescence, e.g., in the violet or red channel, through liberation of a nucleic acid binding dye from a peptide, such as liberation of a DNA-binding dye from a negatively charged peptide comprising a sequence recognized and cleaved by a caspase.

Abstract: The partitioning method for a working space of a robot includes defining the working space of the robot; setting a plurality of partitioning planes based on at least three non-collinear points in the working space; if the setting of the plurality of partitioning planes is completed, defining partitioning lines by intersecting the plurality of partitioning planes; dividing the plurality of partitioning planes into a plurality of designated sections and a plurality of extended sections based on the partitioning lines; combining the plurality of designated sections for constructing a full partitioning plane; partitioning the working space into two working regions based on the full partitioning plane; and setting the working region containing an origin of the robot as an operation region. Therefore, the partitioning process can be simplified.

Abstract: A method for programming a robot in a vision base coordinate is provided. The method includes the following steps. A robot is drawn to an operation point. The coordinates of the operation point in a photo operation are set as a new point. A teaching image is captured and a vision base coordinate system is established. A new point is added according to the newly established vision base coordinate system. When the robot is operating, the robot is controlled to capture an image from a photo operation point. A comparison between the captured image and a teaching image is made. The image being the same as the teaching image is searched according to the comparison result. Whether the vision base coordinate system maintains the same corresponding relation as in the teaching process is checked. Thus, the robot can be precisely controlled.
