Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical power energy converter unit for converting Direct Current to Direct Current, DC-DC, with maximum power point tracking that measures converted power at the output and controller module.

Abstract: In examples, an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a processor to receive an input image from an image sensor. The processor is also to scale a size of the input image to a programmed size. The processor is also to encode the scaled input image to provide a feature map having a fractional size of the scaled input image. The processor is also to process the feature map according to lite reduced atrous spatial pyramid pooling (LR-ASPP) to provide a LR-ASPP result. The processor is also to decode the LR-ASPP result to provide an image segmentation result.

Abstract: In some examples in accordance with the present description, an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an image sensor and a controller. The controller is to receive multiple images from the image sensor including respective foregrounds and backgrounds. The controller is also to segment the respective foregrounds from the backgrounds. The controller is also to combine the backgrounds to form a fused background. The controller is also to receive a new image including a new image foreground and a new image background. The controller is also to segment the new image foreground from the new image background.

Abstract: In some examples in accordance with the present description, an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a controller to implement an image segmentation process. The controller is to obtain color information of an image. The controller also is to obtain depth information of the image. The controller also is to determine a depth of a face represented in the color information. The controller also is to segment a foreground of the image from a background of the image according to the color information and the depth information based on the depth of the face.

Abstract: A general methodology to design label-free fluorescent functional nucleic acid sensors using a vacant site approach and an abasic site approach is described. In one example, a method for designing label-free fluorescent functional nucleic acid sensors (e.g., those that include a DNAzyme, aptamer or aptazyme) that have a tunable dynamic range through the introduction of an abasic site (e.g., dSpacer) or a vacant site into the functional nucleic acids. Also provided is a general method for designing label-free fluorescent aptamer sensors based on the regulation of malachite green (MG) fluorescence. A general method for designing label-free fluorescent catalytic and molecular beacons (CAMBs) is also provided. The methods demonstrated here can be used to design many other label-free fluorescent sensors to detect a wide range of analytes. Sensors and methods of using the disclosed sensors are also provided.
