  • Publication number: 20230239787
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the user equipment (UE) may adjust an operational mode of a circuit of the UE by selecting one or more parameters (e.g., power level or clock frequency or both). Adjusting parameter values may result in avoiding increased temperature. The UE may set an operational mode of a circuit based on a determination or a prediction of a number of blind decodes to be performed, a number of pending receive packets, or a number of transmitting UEs from which the UE will receive traffic. The UE may efficiently reduce unnecessary power expenditures and decrease temperature.

  • Publication number: 20230169389
    Abstract: A computer implement method for domain adaptation. According to the method, training data from a target domain may be classified by using a group of source models of a source domain, where each of the source models is trained to classify data from the source domain. A first pseudo label indicating a category of the training data may be generated by aggregating classification results of the source models based on respective weights of the source models on predetermined data categories. A target model of the target domain may be trained based on the training data and the first pseudo label and the second pseudo label, where the target model is trained to classify data from the target domain.

  • Patent number: 11662581
    Abstract: A head mounted display (HMD) system employs a holographic element in the optical path of the HMD to direct light to a user's eye. The HMD includes a micro-display, a lightguide, and a holographic element coupled to the lightguide. The holographic element is coupled to a polarization film, and together the element and film reflect and transmit light of different polarities in a specified pattern to assist the lightguide in directing light to the user's eye. For example, the hologram and polarization film can be configured to pass R-polarized light and reflect L-polarized light, thereby directing light from the waveguide along a specified path.

  • Patent number: 11641970
    Abstract: A cooking appliance is provided. The lid comprises a pressure-limiting valve, a lever, and a button assembly comprising a steam-discharging button and a button seat, the steam-discharging button being fastened to the button seat and being vertically movable for actuating the lever to activate the pressure-limiting valve for steam discharging. The button assembly comprises a guiding rod, the steam-discharging button comprises a heart-shaped groove. A downward movement of the steam-discharging button causes a first end of the guiding rod to slide within the heart-shaped groove. When the steam-discharging button is released, the first end of the guiding rod slides to a position for lockingly engaging with the heart-shaped groove, to keep the steam-discharging button at a steam-discharging position.

  • Patent number: 11633063
    Abstract: An air fryer comprises a main body and a lid assembly. The lid assembly is removable from the main body for placement on a countertop, and comprises a hot air assembly, an outer lid shell covering the hot air assembly, and a support member downwardly extending from the outer lid shell. Upon placing the lid assembly on the countertop, the support member elevates the lid assembly so that the hot air assembly is elevated at a height from the countertop, thereby avoiding burns on the countertop. Upon removal of the lid assembly from the main body, the lid assembly can be supported to the countertop by using a support leg portion of the support member, allowing convenient placement of the lid assembly. The support leg portion elevates the hot air assembly at a predetermined height from the countertop thereby protecting the countertop from burns.

  • Patent number: 11604925
    Abstract: Features are disclosed for training and using named entity recognition models based on gazetteer information. A named entity recognition model can be trained with a gazetteer output at a layer of the model to provide deterministic data in the probabilistic model. The named entity recognition model can recognize named entities based on the word embedding and the gazetteer output. The named entity recognition model can tune the gazetteer output to include false positive name entities such that the gazetteer output is not deterministic of the output of the model. In some embodiments, the named entity recognition model can be tuned so as to adjust the gazetteer output.
