  • Patent number: 10212464
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method sends videos to a user that is using a video delivery service. The method receives user behavior that includes actions taken by the user on the video delivery service. The method inputs the user behavior into a first predictor to generate a set of actions for a set of entities. Also, the method inputs the set of actions for the set of entities, a real-time context, and the user behavior into a second predictor to generate probabilities for the set of actions for the set of entities. A probability for an action indicates the probability the user would select that action for an entity when compared against other actions in the set of actions for the set of entities. An action feed is selected based on the ranking and dynamically output to a client while the user is using the video delivery service.

  • Patent number: 10101204
    Abstract: An initial system and a constraint condition are established. All freeform surfaces are obtained by surface fitting the feature data points to form a first freeform surface imaging optical system. The first freeform surface imaging optical system is taken as the initial system for multiple iterations to obtain a second freeform surface imaging optical system. The second freeform surface imaging optical system is taken as a first base system. A first surface freedom of the first base system is selected, the values nearby the first surface freedom is selected, and surface positions and tilts of the first base system are changed to obtain a third freeform surface imaging optical system that satisfies the constraint condition. A second base system is selected and the method above is repeated. The freeform surface imaging optical system is obtained until all freedoms for surface positions and tilts have been used.

  • Patent number: 9996635
    Abstract: A design method of freeform imaging lens with a wide linear field-of-view (FOV) is provided. A initial freeform imaging lens is developed, and the initial freeform imaging lens includes a first lens surface and an entrance pupil spaced from each other, wherein the FOV of the system 2? (±?) is divided into 2k+1 sampling fields with equal interval ?? between each two adjacent sampling fields. Each two adjacent sampling fields are taken as one group. Two constraints are employed to calculate the plurality of data points of the first lens surface to obtain a front surface of the freeform imaging lens. The data points are calculated based on Snell's law, and a curve is obtained through the data points. A back surface is added to approximately keep the previous outgoing direction of rays from the front surface.

  • Publication number: 20170256196
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a gate driving circuit, an array substrate and a method for recovering the same. The gate driving circuit comprises: a plurality of cascaded shift registers; a recovering signal line and a first reference signal line, extending along an arrangement direction of the shift registers; and a plurality of recovering units, corresponding to the shift registers respectively. After determining a failed shift register in the gate driving circuit, the recovering unit replaces a signal outputted from the failed shift register with a first reference signal from the first reference signal line and loads the first reference signal to the corresponding gate line for recovering. Thus, compared with a structure of outputting the signal provided by the recovering signal line to the gate line, the gate driving circuit of the disclosure has a less significant attenuation on the signal outputted to the gate line.
