  • Patent number: 11983848
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a frame processor for processing frames with aliasing artifacts. For example, the frame processor can include a super-resolution (SR) and anti-aliasing (AA) engine and an attention reference frame generator coupled to the SR and AA engine. The SR and AA engine can be configured to enhance resolution and remove aliasing artifacts of a frame to generate a first high-resolution frame with aliasing artifacts and a second high-resolution frame with aliasing artifacts removed. The attention reference frame generator can be configured to generate an attention reference frame based on the first high-resolution frame and the second high-resolution frame.

  • Patent number: 11985324
    Abstract: Exemplary video processing methods and apparatuses for encoding or decoding a current block by inter prediction are disclosed. Input data of a current block is received and partitioned into sub-partitions and motion refinement is independently performed on each sub-partition. A reference block for each sub-partition is obtained from one or more reference pictures according to an initial motion vector (MV). A refined MV for each sub-partition is derived by searching around the initial MV with N-pixel refinement. One or more boundary pixels of the reference block for a sub-partition is padded for motion compensation of the sub-partition. A final predictor for the current block is generated by performing motion compensation for each sub-partition according to its refined MV. The current block is then encoded or decoded according to the final predictor.

    Abstract: A thin film transistor includes an active layer and at least one gate stack. The active layer may be formed using multiple iterations of a unit layer stack deposition process, which includes an acceptor-type oxide deposition process and a post-transition metal oxide deposition process. A surface of each gate dielectric within the at least one gate stack contacts a surface of a respective layer of the oxide of the acceptor-type element so that leakage current of the active layer may be minimized. A source electrode and a drain electrode may contact an oxide layer providing lower contact resistance such as a layer of the post-transition metal oxide or a zinc oxide layer within the active layer.

  • Patent number: 11983628
    Abstract: Systems and methods dynamically adjust an available range for editing an attribute in an image. An image editing system computes a metric for an attribute in an input image as a function of a latent space representation of the input image and a filtering vector for editing the input image. The image editing system compares the metric to a threshold. If the metric exceeds the threshold, then the image editing system selects a first range for editing the attribute in the input image. If the metric does not exceed the threshold, a second range is selected. The image editing system causes display of a user interface for editing the input image comprising an interface element for editing the attribute within the selected range.

  • Patent number: 11983370
    Abstract: A two dimensional touch sensor panel can be thermoformed or curved by another process to a three-dimensional touch sensor panel, and the three-dimensional touch sensor panel can be laminated to a three-dimension surface having a highly curved or spherical shape. In some examples, thermoforming a two-dimensional touch sensor panel into a three-dimensional touch sensor panel can result in strain of the touch electrodes, and can result in non-uniform three-dimensional touch electrodes (distortion of the two-dimensional touch electrode pattern). The strain can be a function of the curved touch-sensitive surface and/or process related mechanical strain from thermoforming. In some examples, a three-dimensional touch sensor panel can be formed with uniform area touch electrodes using a two-dimensional touch sensor panel pattern with non-uniform area touch electrodes in accordance with the strain pattern expected for a given curved surface and thermoforming technique.

    Abstract: A method for silicon carbide ingot peeling includes the steps of: placing the silicon carbide ingot between first and second suckers; having a pressing head disposed on a top surface of the first sucker to apply mechanical oscillatory energy to both the silicon carbide ingot and the second sucker through the first sucker; and, having an elastic element disposed under the second sucker to absorb part of the mechanical oscillatory energy to transmit longitudinal waves thereof to a modified layer of the silicon carbide ingot for propagating individually intermittent invisible cracks at the modified layer to break silicon carbide chains at different levels. Till the cracks connect together for forming a continuous crack across the silicon carbide ingot, a top portion of the silicon carbide ingot is then separable therefrom to form a wafer. In addition, an apparatus for silicon carbide ingot peeling is also provided.
