  • Publication number: 20210012227
    Abstract: An agent interfaces with a sending computing device and a receiving computing device to automatically adjust one-way or two-way real-time audio and real-time video transmission parameters responsive to changing network conditions and/or application requirements. The agent incorporates a reinforcement learning model that adjusts transmission parameters to maximize an expected value of a sum of future rewards; the expected value of the sum of future rewards is based on a current state of the sending computing, a current action (e.g. a current set of transmission parameters) at the sending computing device and a reward provided by the receiving computing device. The reward is representative of a user-perceived quality of experience at the receiving computing device.

  • Patent number: 10867214
    Abstract: Training deep neural networks requires a large amount of labeled training data. Conventionally, labeled training data is generated by gathering real images that are manually labelled which is very time-consuming. Instead of manually labelling a training dataset, domain randomization technique is used generate training data that is automatically labeled. The generated training data may be used to train neural networks for object detection and segmentation (labelling) tasks. In an embodiment, the generated training data includes synthetic input images generated by rendering three-dimensional (3D) objects of interest in a 3D scene. In an embodiment, the generated training data includes synthetic input images generated by rendering 3D objects of interest on a 2D background image. The 3D objects of interest are objects that a neural network is trained to detect and/or label.

  • Publication number: 20200376722
    Abstract: The air eliminator valve helps to eliminate air in the plastic resin used for composite products manufacturing. During operation, it continuously eliminates the air bubbles in the plastic resin running through the valve, and then transfers the filtered plastic resin into the mold. The design of the air eliminator valve consists of: inlet, inlet lock, air vent, upper cover, main body, ultrasonic generator, outlet lock and outlet. In which, the ultrasonic generator plays a role in generating ultrasonic waves to the plastic resin in the valve body that allows speeding up the air releasing process out the plastic resin. The air content in the valve could go out through the air vent on the upper cover, its status “open/close” is controlled by airlock with automatic response mechanism.
