  • Publication number: 20240150896
    Abstract: A high-speed, uniform and high-quality surface treatment apparatus is described. The surface treatment apparatus includes a fixed hollow cylindrical chamber body and a rotatable polygonal prism inside the chamber body. Several flat-substrate holders are symmetrically disposed on the prism surface. The substrate holders revolve as the prism rotates. On the fixed chamber wall, several gas inlet channels, pumping channels and processing units are installed according to the symmetric configuration of the substrate holders. Then, as the substrate holders revolve, the surface treatment processes will occur periodically, including the injection of gas reactants into, the activation of gases in, and the pumping of after-reaction gases out of the processing spaces, defined by the substrate holders and the chamber wall. The substrates will therefore undergo many cycles of periodic surface treatment processes.

  • Patent number: 11916487
    Abstract: An asymmetric half-bridge converter is provided. The asymmetric half-bridge converter includes a switch circuit, a resonance tank, a current sensor, and a controller. The current sensor senses a waveform of a resonance current flowing through the resonance tank to generate a sensing result. The controller determines the sensing result. When the sensing result indicates that an ending current value of a primary resonance waveform of the resonance current is greater than a predetermined value, the controller performs a first switching operation on the switch circuit. When the sensing result indicates that the ending current value of the primary resonance waveform is less than or equal to the predetermined value, the controller performs a second switching operation on the switch circuit.

  • Patent number: 11863881
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media that support multi-frame depth-of-field (MF-DOF) for deblurring background regions of interest (ROIs), such as background faces, that may be blurred due to a large aperture size or other characteristics of the camera used to capture the image frame. The processing may include the use of two image frames obtained at two different focus points corresponding to the multiple ROIs in the image frame. The corrected image frame may be determined by deblurring one or more ROIs of the first image frame using an AI-based model and/or local gradient information. The MF-DOF may allow selectively increasing a depth-of-field (DOF) of an image to provide focused capture of multiple regions of interest, without causing a reduction in aperture (and subsequently an amount of light available for photography) or background blur that may be desired for photography.

  • Patent number: 11864341
    Abstract: A sunshield to protect an equipment housing from solar heat and allow cooling from external air flow is disclosed. The sunshield includes a main plate configured to be positioned to cover a side of the equipment housing. A vent in the main plate allows air flow through the main plate to the equipment housing. A shutter is rotatable between an open position allowing air flow through the vent, and a closed position blocking air flow through the vent. A biasing mechanism provides force to bias the shutter in the closed position. The force is overcome by a predetermined level of external air flow on the shutter to rotate the shutter to the open position.
