Abstract: A method for detecting apparent defects in images of products acquires an original image of the product. Defects apparent in the original image are automatically detected by an automatic optical detection apparatus. When the original image comprises at least one apparent defect, the original image is cut into at least one partial image centered on the at least one apparent defect. Each partial image contains one defect. By determining whether the at least one partial image indicates a real defect or a false or ghost defect, a result of desired image (for further analysis), or undesired image (for discarding) is output. The original image is deemed a desired image or an undesired image based on the result. A defect detection system applying the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for identifying individual objects and their number and respective locations in a sealed case creates a detection model by using standard data as a training set. Image of the sealed case is captured and divided into a specified number of detection regions. Images of first detection regions in the detection image as taken as local images and input into the detection model. The numbers and locations of target objects in the sealed case is obtained based on a statistic result outputted by the detection model. The standard data includes sample images of the sealed case with different numbers and respective locations of the target objects in the case. A capacity of the sealed case is M, and a number of the sample image is less than 2M. A target identification apparatus and a storage medium applying the method are also disclosed.

Abstract: An actuating system includes an actuating wheel coupled to an operating element, an axle coupling part disposed substantially coaxial to the actuating wheel and rotatable for raising or lowering a bottom part of a window shade, and a clutching part carried with a carrier and movably linked to the actuating wheel. The clutching part is movable between a retracted state for disengaging from the axle coupling part and an extended state for engaging with the axle coupling part. The actuating wheel is rotatable in a first direction to urge the clutching part to move from the retracted state to the extended state and drive the carrier and the axle coupling part to rotate in unison, and in a second direction to urge the clutching part to move from the extended state to the retracted state so that the actuating wheel is rotationally decoupled from the axle coupling part.

Abstract: A drive (e.g., hard drive) carrier can have a frame with a door that can open to permit installation of the drive and can snap shut to secure the drive within the drive carrier. The drive carrier can include a connector lock, which can take the form of a pair of pins extending from the frame and capable of engaging corresponding retention holes of a connector of a cable. The connector lock can help align the cable's connector with the drive's connector, as well as releasably lock the cable's connector in place when operatively connected to the drive. Damping couplings can couple the carrier frame to a computer chassis. The damping couplings and the flexibility of the cable vibrationally isolate the drive from the chassis, while the connector lock ensures the cable's connector does not unintentionally disconnect from the drive.

Abstract: A method for detecting from images correct placement and function, or incorrect placement and function, of a clip of a transportation box of wafers in sterile or similar conditions obtains an image template comprising features of clip and obtains a first detection image of a working clip. An object region focusing on the imaged clip in the first detection image is determined according to the image template. Part of the working image is selected as a first preset location. The part of the image is masked to obtain a second detection image, the masking obscures the background region of the part of the image but not the clip-object region, and displays the unobscured clip-object region. The second detection image is input into a trained neural network model to determine whether the clip is in sealed or unsealed state. An electronic device and a non-transitory storage medium are also disclosed.
