Each of the search blocks includes multiple candidate blocks. The candidate blocks are guided and scored through a latent pattern generator. The candidate blocks in each of the search blocks are scored through a zero-cost accuracy proxy. One of the candidate blocks included in each of the search blocks is sequentially selected as selected candidate blocks, the selected candidate blocks are combined into multiple neural networks to be evaluated, and network potential of the neural networks to be evaluated is calculated according to scores of the selected candidate blocks. One neural network to be evaluated with the highest network potential is selected to determine the corresponding selected candidate blocks.

  • Publication number: 20240122917
    Abstract: Disclosed is the use of a composition containing cilostazol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and edaravone in the preparation of a drug for treating cerebrovascular diseases, especially ischemic cerebrovascular diseases. The experiment result shows that the tail vein administration of 1-15 mg/kg of cilostazol or 1.67-8.33 mg/kg of edaravone on rats with a focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury can significantly ameliorate neurological defects in rats with an MCAO and reduce a cerebral infarction area; and performing compound combination within the dosage range (the mass ratio of cilostazol:edaravone is 1:5 to 5:1) can be synergistic. The tail vein administration of 3.33-16.67 mg/kg of cilostazol or 3.33-16.67 mg/kg of edaravone on mice with a focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury can significantly ameliorate neurological defects in mice with an MCAO and reduce a cerebral infarction area.

  • Publication number: 20240031529
    Abstract: A system and method for providing video conferencing are described herein. Original video streams from one or more cameras are sampled to form downscaled versions of the video stream. The downscaled version is analyzed to find regions of interest and generate metadata describing aspects of the regions of interest, including a region that includes a preferred speaker and the best view of each participant present together in the video conference. Cropping instructions are generated from the metadata, and portions of the original video stream are removed to form a set of presentation views for each participant, including the preferred speaker. The set of presentation views is stitched together to form a composite display for each participant viewing the stream remotely.

  • Publication number: 20240007992
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for GNSS position fix in connected state. In one novel aspect, the UE reports GNSS assistance information to the network entity in the NTN system, wherein the GNSS assistance information includes a GNSS position fix time duration for measurement. When the UE detects the GNSS position out-of-date condition in the RRC_CONNECTED stated, the UE determines whether the GNSS position fix time duration for measurement is smaller than the network scheduled duration for GNSS measurement and performs the GNSS position acquisition procedure in the RRC_CONNECTED state if determined yes. In another embodiment, the network scheduled duration for GNSS measurement is configured for the UE to re-acquire GNSS position fix in the RRC_CONNECTED state and may further include duration to re-acquire downlink (DL) synchronization with or without NTN system information block (SIB). In one embodiment, the network scheduled duration for GNSS measurement is a new scheduling gap or a GNSS timer.

  • Patent number: 11800056
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure generally relate to video-conferencing systems, and more particularly, to advanced camera devices with integrated background differentiation capabilities, such as background removal, background replacement, and/or background blur capabilities, which are suitable for use in a video-conferencing application. Generally, the camera devices described herein use a combination of integrated hardware and software to differentiate between the desired portion of a video stream and the undesired portion of the video stream to-be-replaced. The background differentiation and/or background replacement methods disclosed herein are generally performed, using a camera device, before encoding the video stream for transmission of the video stream therefrom.

  • Patent number: 11800048
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provided herein generally relate to methods and video system components that have integrated background differentiation capabilities that allow for background replacement and/or background modification. In some embodiments, undesired portions of video data generated in a video environment are separated from desired portions of the video data by taking advantage of the illumination and decay of the intensity of electromagnetic radiation, provided from an illuminator, over a distance. Due to the decay of intensity with distance, the electromagnetic radiation reflected from the undesired background has a lower intensity when received by the sensor than the electromagnetic radiation reflected from the desired foreground. The difference in the detected intensity at the one or more wavelengths can then be used to separate and/or modify the undesired background from the desired foreground for use in a video feed.
