  • Publication number: 20240322710
    Abstract: A control circuit for a multi-phase power conversion circuit and a multi-phase power supply are provided. The conversion circuit includes a plurality of switching circuits which have output terminals being coupled together to supply power to a load. The control circuit includes an error amplifier, a pulse width modulation circuit, and a multi-phase logic control circuit. The multi-phase logic control circuit generates a plurality of PWM signals according to an on time signal, which are delayed phase by phase and control on and off states of the plurality of switching circuits, and each of which has a pulse width being consistent with the on time signal. This reduces the circuit size and cost of the multi-phase power supply controller, and solves the problem of phase-to-phase current oscillation in a case that the switching circuits operate under duty ratios independent for various phases.

  • Patent number: 11617008
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for media classification using local and global audio features are disclosed. A media classification system determines local features of an audio input using an audio event detector model that is trained to detect a plurality of audio event classes descriptive of objectionable content. The local features are extracted using maximum values of audio event scores for individual audio event classes. The media classification system determines one or more global features of the audio input using the audio event detector model. The global feature(s) are extracted using averaging of clip-level descriptors of a plurality of clips of the audio input. The media classification system determines a content-based rating for media comprising the audio input based (at least in part) on the local features of the audio input and based (at least in part) on the global feature(s) of the audio input.

  • Patent number: 10848791
    Abstract: Techniques for providing video content are described, where portions of the video content may be determined based an artificial intelligence model. In an example, a computer system may input, to a neural network, a vector representation of a frame. The neural network may be configured based on an error of associating the frame with an incorrect category. The error may be based on timing of the frame and on an error time margin relative to a start time or an end time of the incorrect category. The computer system may receive back an association between the vector representation and a category and may generate, based on the association, an identifier of a portion of the video content. The identifier may associate the portion of the video content with the category and identify a start time or an end time of the portion of the video content.

  • Patent number: 10467507
    Abstract: An image quality assessment solution analyzes an image quality and a correlation of an image to an item description associated with the item. The content quality assessment may assign a quality score to the image based on a composition of the image and/or correlation with the image description. The score may be based on a model that is trained to analyze images using a learning model. Based on the image score, a correlation score, or other scores, the user may be given feedback on how to improve an image. A service provider providing this service may use the score to influence recommendation results that use the images.

  • Publication number: 20110173452
    Abstract: The present invention constructs a compound type combined public key system on the basis of a combined public key CPK system. The combined key is combined by an identity key and a randomly defined key. The randomly defined key can be defined by a center, called a system key; and can be self-defined, called updating key. Combination of the identity key and the system key generates a first-order combined key. The first-order combined key is then combined with the updating key to generate a second-order combined key. The first-order combined key can be used for centralized digital signature and key exchange. The second-order combined key can be used for distributed digital signature, to provide individual with convenient key exchange and absolute privacy. A combining matrix, as a trust root, provides proof of integrity of identity and key, with no need of third party proof.
