  • Publication number: 20260093927
    Abstract: A method includes determining a symbolic representation of words to produce tokens of a first memory and generating a first equation package that corresponds to a first permutation of interpretation of the tokens based on one or more different meanings of the symbolic representation to produce interim knowledge. The method further includes updating the first equation package that optimizes an interpretation confidence level for the tokens based on clarifying tokens of a second memory to produce a second equation package that includes a sequence of second selected equation elements that corresponds to a second permutation of interpretation of the tokens as updated interim knowledge. The method further includes establishing a single sequence of selected equation elements as curated knowledge representing the words when the updated interim knowledge contains a single sequence of selected equation elements that corresponds to a permutation of interpretation of the tokens.

  • Publication number: 20260088655
    Abstract: A wireless charging device with a heat dissipation structure comprises a first housing and a second housing that are mutually combined. The first housing includes at least one charging pad, at least one intake grille, and at least one exhaust assembly. The at least one charging pad protrudes from an outer surface of the first housing and incorporates a heat sink for dissipating thermal energy generated during operation. A fan is positioned between the first housing and the second housing and generates an airflow into the interior of the housing. The airflow is then directed through an airflow channel toward the exhaust assembly of the first housing and an air discharge zone of the second housing. This configuration enables simultaneous cooling of the heat sink and a mobile device, achieving efficient heat dissipation.

  • Patent number: 12546997
    Abstract: A head up display that utilizes a backlight Toroidal mirror to adjust the eye box is suitable for use with an imaging semi-reflector and includes a backlight source, a backlight Toroidal mirror, a display panel, and an imaging concave mirror. The backlight Toroidal mirror is rotatable and has an X-axis curvature and a Y-axis curvature different from the X-axis curvature, and can reflect the backlight beam of the backlight source. The backlight beam reflected by the backlight Toroidal mirror forms a backlight real image located in the viewer's eye after passing through the display panel, the imaging concave mirror, and the imaging semi-reflector. The backlight real image is called the eye box. The rotation of the backlight Toroidal mirror elongates or shortens the eye box, allowing the viewer's eyes to remain inside the eye box when the viewer's eyes are moving back and forth.

  • Publication number: 20250373776
    Abstract: An autostereoscopic display device with backlight real-imaging is adapted to an imaging semi-reflective mirror. In the autostereoscopic display device with backlight real-imaging, a backlight module collocates with an off-axis dual mirror module to generate a directional backlight beam in smaller space. The equivalent distance between the backlight module and an imaging concave mirror is greater than the focal length of the imaging concave mirror, and the eye box array of the real image of the backlight module is generated by the imaging concave mirror. According to the position of an eye movement, backlight sources are switched to facilitate an image beam to cross at the corresponding small eye box of the eye box array. The plurality of small eye boxes are used to correspond to one eye to improve the tracking buffer when the eye moves quickly and to avoid image interruption.

  • Publication number: 20250370265
    Abstract: An autostereoscopic display device with the high brightness and the wide field of view is provided. A backlight module of the display device collocates with an off-axis dual mirror module to project a directional backlight beam, and a display has a main display module and a light shield module stacked upon each other to defines a plurality of display regions. There is only one polarizer between the liquid crystal layer of the main display module and the liquid crystal layer of the light shield module. An eye box array is generated by the backlight module which undergoes the reflection of an imaging concave mirror and the off-axis dual mirror module. Different backlight sources and display regions are active so that the small eye boxes in 3D space correspond to the different positions lit and corresponds to the moving of the eyes in upward, downward, forward, backward, left and right directions.

  • Publication number: 20250370256
    Abstract: An autostereoscopic display device with partitioning backlight is adapted to the use of an imaging semi-reflective mirror. In the autostereoscopic display device with partitioning backlight, a display includes a main display module and a light shield module. The light shield module is stacked with the light incident side or the light exit side of the main display module. The display defines a plurality of regions, and the plurality of regions display time-divisionally and are collocated with a plurality of backlight sources to perform the corresponding switching, thereby achieving the effect of displaying partitioned image. The problem that the afterimages and the crosstalk arise from the insufficient response speed of the main display module when a left eye parallax image and a right eye parallax image are quickly switched is solved, and the brightness of the image during displaying may be adjusted by changing the display time of the display regions.

  • Publication number: 20250220142
    Abstract: A thinness screen magnification display device is provided and includes a processor, a display module electrically connected to the processor and an optical module. The processor is configured to receive an input image and to form an output image to display the output image on the display module. The optical module receives, reflects and magnifies the output image to form a projecting image. The processor extends the input image along the longitudinal direction to form the output image, and by the optical module, the magnifying scale of the output image in the longitudinal direction is greater than the magnifying scale of the output image in the transversal direction so that the aspect ratio of the projecting image is equal to the aspect ratio of the input image. By the two-stage magnification with the different magnifying scales, the size of the displaying device may be miniaturized, but the magnifying scale of the aspect ratio remains the same.
