  • Patent number: 11764004
    Abstract: An illuminated keyswitch structure includes a base plate, a drive circuit board under the base plate, a spacer between the drive circuit board and the base plate, and a light-emitting part on the circuit board. The spacer has a through hole communicating with an opening of the base plate in a vertical direction. The sidewall of the through hole is opaque. The light-emitting part is located in the through hole, and falls within a projection of the opening in the vertical direction. The light-emitting part has a top surface that is lower than or equal to a bottom surface of the base plate in the vertical direction. The structure of the illuminated keyswitch structure around the light-emitting part can keep flat by the spacer. The spacer can prevent the light-emitting part from structurally entering the opening, avoiding structural interference between the light-emitting part and other components above the base plate.

  • Patent number: 11410351
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may disclose a method for improving CT image quality. The method for improving the CT image quality may include obtaining SFS data. The SFS data may include SFS scan data or an SFS image. The SFS scan data may be acquired by a CT device in an SFS state. The SFS image may be generated by reconstructing scan data acquired by the CT device via scanning in the SFS state. The method may include generating a corresponding optimized image by processing the SFS data based on an image quality optimization model. The image quality optimization model may be a machine learning model. The present disclosure may simulate the SFS image as an FFS image using a deep neural network model, thereby improving a resolution of the SFS image and reduce artifacts in the SFS image.
