Abstract: An energy-efficient adaptive 3D sensing system. The adaptive 3D sensing system includes one or more cameras and one or more projectors. The adaptive 3D sensing system captures images of a real-world scene using the one or more cameras and computes depth estimates and depth estimate confidence values for pixels of the images. The adaptive 3D sensing system computes an attention mask based on the one or more depth estimate confidence values and commands the one or more projectors to send a distributed laser beam into one or more areas of the real-world scene based on the attention mask. The adaptive 3D sensing system captures 3D sensing image data of the one or more areas of the real-world scene and generates 3D sensing data for the real-world scene based on the 3D sensing image data.

Abstract: An impeller wake vortex dissipation device under stall condition of a mixed flow pump includes a guide vane and a wake vortex dissipation device. The pump is evenly divided into n guide vane channels by N evenly distributed guide vanes. A wake vortex dissipation device is set in each guide vane channel, and one end of the wake vortex dissipation device is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pump body. Therefore, each wake vortex dissipation device is located in the middle and upper part of the guide vane channel and does not occupy the lower guide vane channel; the wake vortex dissipation device is provided with a dissipative hole pair, which are used to dissipate the energy of the wake vortex of the impeller.

Abstract: A method of implementing location-guided visual code scanning from long distances starts with a processor receiving from client device a media content item and a location of the client device. Processor detects a portion of the media content item including image of captured visual code. Processor aligns image of captured visual code in the portion of the media content item to generate rectified image of captured visual code. Processor selects, based on location of the client device, subset of visual codes of the visual codes in database that stores visual codes and visual code location estimates associated with the plurality of visual codes. Processor detects matching visual code from the subset of visual codes using the rectified image of the captured visual code and causes a selectable item associated with the matching visual code to be displayed by the client device. Other embodiments are described herein.
