  • Publication number: 20240161383
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a scene reconstruction model generates three-dimensional (3D) representations of scenes. The scene reconstruction model maps a first red, blue, green, and depth (RGBD) image associated with both a first scene and a first viewpoint to a first surface representation of at least a first portion of the first scene. The scene reconstruction model maps a second RGBD image associated with both the first scene and a second viewpoint to a second surface representation of at least a second portion of the first scene. The scene reconstruction model aggregates at least the first surface representation and the second surface representation in a 3D space to generate a first fused surface representation of the first scene. The scene reconstruction model maps the first fused surface representation of the first scene to a 3D representation of the first scene.

  • Publication number: 20240161404
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a training application trains a machine learning model to generate three-dimensional (3D) representations of two-dimensional images. The training application maps a depth image and a viewpoint to signed distance function (SDF) values associated with 3D query points. The training application maps a red, blue, and green (RGB) image to radiance values associated with the 3DI query points. The training application computes a red, blue, green, and depth (RGBD) reconstruction loss based on at least the SDF values and the radiance values. The training application modifies at least one of a pre-trained geometry encoder, a pre-trained geometry decoder, an untrained texture encoder, or an untrained texture decoder based on the RGBD reconstruction loss to generate a trained machine learning model that generates 3D representations of RGBD images.

  • Publication number: 20240070987
    Abstract: Transferring pose to three-dimensional characters is a common computer graphics task that typically involves transferring the pose of a reference avatar to a (stylized) three-dimensional character. Since three-dimensional characters are created by professional artists through imagination and exaggeration, and therefore, unlike human or animal avatars, have distinct shape and features, matching the pose of a three-dimensional character to that of a reference avatar generally requires manually creating shape information for the three-dimensional character that is required for pose transfer. The present disclosure provides for the automated transfer of a reference pose to a three-dimensional character, based specifically on a learned shape code for the three-dimensional character.

  • Publication number: 20230340947
    Abstract: The invention discloses a power generating device and an operation method thereof based on ocean temperature difference, which belong to the field of ocean energy utilization, and include a negative thermal expansion body, a rope and a generator. The negative thermal expansion body is connected to the rope, and the rope is connected to the generator simultaneously. The negative thermal expansion body is in a contracted state when in the hotter upper seawater close to the sea surface, and the difference obtained by deducting buoyancy from gravity is relatively large. The negative thermal expansion body is in an expanded state when in colder deep seawater, and the difference obtained by deducting buoyancy from gravity is relatively small. The unbalanced force on the rope will drive the rope to move, and the generator will be driven to generate power through the rope.

  • Publication number: 20220394605
    Abstract: A device, system and method for a user equipment (UE) to report a network resource and capability state to a network for coordinating network resource allocations. The UE is configured to establish a first connection to a first network based on a first subscriber identity module (SIM) of the UE and further configured to establish a second connection to a second network based on a second SIM of the UE. The method includes determining an upcoming first change of a state of the UE with respect to the first connection and transmitting, to the first network, an indication of the first change of state of the UE. The method further includes changing the state of the UE with respect to the first connection.

  • Patent number: 11218181
    Abstract: A wireless communication device (UE) may conduct wireless communications using one or more antennas according to multiple radio access technologies (RAT) associated with corresponding operating frequency bands. The UE may perform adaptive antenna tuning, for example, application-based antenna tuning for increasing the operating efficiency of the UE, which may improve user experience. The UE may periodically identify one or more applications running on the UE, the respective RATs that support the (running) applications, and which of the corresponding frequency bands are used by the (running) applications. The UE may determine the tuner device settings for tuning the one or more antenna(s) based on the (running) applications or the type and/or priority of the (running) applications, which RATs support the running applications, which of the corresponding frequency bands are used by the (running) applications, and operating conditions associated with the frequency bands used by the (running) applications.

  • Patent number: 11034651
    Abstract: Disclosed is a light colored modified isocyanate mixture and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: a) reacting isocyanate groups of a raw material isocyanate under the action of a phospholenecatalyst, and finally obtaining a modified isocyanate reaction solution containing carbodiimide and/or uretonimine derivatives; and b) adding a compounded terminator of a halosilane organic and a sulfonic anhydride to the reaction solution obtained in step a so as to terminate the reaction of carbodiimidization. The modified isocyanate prepared by the method has the characteristics of a liquid state at room temperature, being stable in storage at room temperature and high temperature, and low color number.

  • Patent number: 10833740
    Abstract: A communication device has multiple antennas in an antenna array, and applies the same input power to each antenna. A controller of the communication device instructs phase shifters to form a first subarray with a first pair of the antennas and a second subarray with a second pair of the antennas. The controller causes the first subarray to generate a first beam and causes the second subarray to generate a second beam, wherein the first beam combines in phase with the second beam to generate a coarse beam. The coarse beam may have increased beam width while exhibiting decreased peak gain loss.
