Abstract: A method for eliminating bubbles from a liquid dispensing system includes flowing a liquid containing bubbles into a liquid inlet of a tank from a filter to substantially fill the tank, wherein substantially all bubbles accumulate in an upper portion of the tank having a lateral dimension greater than a lateral dimension of a lower portion of the tank, and flowing the liquid into the tank comprises flowing the liquid through an inlet pipe extending at an acute angle relative to a horizontally-oriented axis of the tank. The method further includes flowing a liquid substantially free of bubbles out of the tank via a liquid outlet at the lower portion of the tank for dispensing to a substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed here are various techniques for improving the testing and training of datasets comprising sequences of skeletal representations performing various actions. The dataset can be denoised by applying various techniques to determine noisy frames within each sequence and eliminating the sequences from the dataset when the number of noisy frames in the sequence is too large. In addition, the dataset may be augmented by various data augmentation techniques to manipulate the skeletal representations, after denoising.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method to disentangle linear-encoded facial semantics from facial images without external supervision. The method uses linear regression and sparse representation learning concepts to make the disentangled latent representations easily interpreted and manipulated. Generated facial images are decomposed into multiple semantic features and latent representations are extracted to capture interpretable facial semantics. The semantic features may be manipulated to synthesize photorealistic facial images by sampling along vectors representing the semantic features, thereby changing the associate semantics.

Abstract: A device, suitable for a V2X (Vehicle-to-everything) system, is disclosed. The device includes a wireless transceiver and a processor. The wireless transceiver is configured to receive a first collective perception message from a transmitting device of the V2X system. The first collective perception message comprises a first object age of a perceived object of the first collective perception message calculated by the transmitting device. The processor is coupled to the wireless transceiver, and the processor is configured to calculate a second object age of the perceived object of a second collective perception message. The second object age comprises a processing delay of the device and the first object age.
