Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide various examples of a face detection system, based on using a small-scale hardware convolutional neutral network (CNN) module configured into a multi-task cascaded CNN. In some embodiments, a subimage-based CNN system can be configured to be equivalent to a large-scale CNN that processes the entire input image without partitioning such that the output of the subimage-based CNN system can be exactly identical to the output of the large-scale CNN. Based on this observation, some embodiments of this patent disclosure make use of the subimage-based CNN system and technique on one or more stages of a cascaded CNN or a multitask cascaded CNN (MTCNN) so that a larger input image to a given stage of the cascaded CNN or the MTCNN can be partitioned into a set of subimages of a smaller size. As a result, each stage of the cascaded CNN or the MTCNN can use the same small-scale hardware CNN module that is associated with a maximum input image size constraint.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide various examples of an age and gender estimation system capable of performing age and gender classifications on face images having sizes greater than the maximum number of input pixels supported by a given small-scale hardware convolutional neutral network (CNN) module. In some embodiments, the proposed age and gender estimation system can first divide a high-resolution input face image into a set of image patches with judiciously designed overlaps among neighbouring patches. Each of the image patches can then be processed with a small-scale CNN module, such as the built-in CNN module in Hi3519 SoC. The outputs corresponding to the set of image patches can be subsequently merged to obtain the output corresponding to the input face image, and the merged output can be further processed by subsequent layers in the age and gender estimation system to generate age and gender classifications for the input face image.

Abstract: A fault-tolerant control method for a position sensor of a switched reluctance motor, if the position sensor of the switched reluctance motor runs without a fault, detecting, in real time, four equal-interval or equal-angle continuous edge pulses of an output signal of the position sensor, the fourth edge pulse being the current edge pulse, and detecting time intervals (T1, T2, T3) between each two adjacent edge pulses sequentially, thereby calculating a time interval (T4) between the current edge pulse and a next edge pulse following the current edge pulse. If the position sensor of the switched reluctance motor fails, and the next edge pulse following the current edge pulse is lost, reconstructing the next edge pulse after the interval time (T4) of the current edge pulse of the output signal of the position sensor.

Abstract: A braking torque closed-loop control system and method for a switch reluctance motor. The closed-loop control system comprises a torque regulator, a mode selector, a current regulator, an angle optimization controller and a torque estimator. On the basis of the rotating speed of the motor, the mode selector implements a phase current soft chopper control in a low rotating speed region and an angle position control in a high rotating speed region. The current regulator performs soft chopper hysteretic current regulation. The angle optimization controller optimizes a turn-on angle and a turn-off angle of a power converter master switch to reduce torque pulsation and improve braking energy feedback efficiency. The torque estimator conducts an on-line estimation of an actual braking torque estimated value of the motor based on an actual phase voltage and current of the motor to achieve braking torque signal feedback.

Abstract: Rapidly handling large data sets can be a challenge, particularly in situations where there are millions or even hundreds of millions of database records. Sometimes, however, a service level agreement necessitates that a service return a response to a query in a small amount of time. Database organization techniques can be used that reduce potentially large datasets to smaller groups (neighbors) based on uncommon but shared attributes, in various instances. Using a limited set of related records, queries can be answered using a focused approximation based on characteristics of various identified clusters of records in the set of related records. A particular record may also be associated with an existing cluster of records based on that record's similarities to records in the cluster.

Abstract: A node energy diagnosis method for a fault of a switched reluctance motor double-switch power converter. By detecting a transient value of a phase current of a switched reluctance motor double-switch power converter, a node energy standard deviation ? is calculated to be used as a fault characteristic quantity, and a main switch lower-tube short-circuit fault of the switched reluctance motor double-switch power converter is diagnosed by adopting a node energy standard deviation ? curve of the phase current of the switched reluctance motor double-switch power converter in the whole rotation speed range. It also can be applied in fault diagnosis when a main switch lower-tube short-circuit fault occurs in two phases or more than two phases of a switched reluctance motor double-switch power converter.
