Abstract: A computer-implemented method for training an encoder. The encoder is configured for determining a latent representation of an image. Training the encoder includes: determining a latent representation and a noise image by providing a training image to the encoder, wherein the encoder is configured for determining a latent representation and a noise image for a provided image; masking out parts of the noise image, thereby determining a masked noise image; determining a predicted image by providing the latent representation and the masked noise image to a generator of a generative adversarial network; training the encoder by adapting parameters of the encoder based on a loss value, wherein the loss value characterizes a difference between the predicted image and the training image.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a sintered neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnet, a preparation method and use thereof. The permanent magnet described herein comprises a grain and a grain boundary phase. The grain boundary phase is located on an epitaxial layer of the grain. The grain boundary phase comprises at least an RH. The grain comprises at least Nd2Fe14B. In the grain boundary phase within a depth of 100 ?m from the surface to the center of the sintered neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnet, the area of the grain boundary phase with an RH content of more than 6 wt % accounts for 50% or more of the total area of the grain boundary phase. The present disclosure adopts an RH and an RL as the diffusion source for composite diffusion, significantly improving the coercivity of the permanent magnet and the utilization rate of the RH in the diffusion source.

Abstract: A junction termination with an internal field plate, the field plate structure and the junction termination extension region are folded inside the device to make full use of the thickness of the drift region in the body, thereby reducing the area of the termination and relieving the electric field concentration at the end of the PN junction. The breakdown position is transferred from the surface into the body of the original PN junction, and the withstand voltage of termination can reach to the breakdown voltage of the parallel plane junction. Under such design, a smaller area can be obtained than that of the conventional structure at the same withstand voltage.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus which is capable of reading an original, temporarily storing image data in a storage unit, and then transferring the image data to an image forming unit to improve FCOT in forming an image. A memory stores image data output from image reading units. An image forming unit forms an image on a recording medium based on the image data stored in the memory. A first memory output frequency in a first mode in which one side of an original is read and an image is formed on one side of a recording medium is lower than a second memory output frequency in a second mode in which both sides of an original are read and an image is formed both sides of a recording medium.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a first unit, a second unit that is pivotable against the first unit, and a controller. The first unit includes a platen, a member, and a movable first reader. The second unit includes an original tray, a conveyance unit that conveys an original from the original tray, a static second reader. The controller determines an opening/closing state of the second unit against the first unit based on read data obtained when the second reader reads the member. The first reader reads the first side of an original conveyed by the conveyance unit and the second reader reads the second side of the original when the original placed on the original tray is read. The first reader reads the first side while moving under the original when the original placed on the platen is read.

Abstract: The present invention relates to IP network communication technology. It provides a kind of IP multicast data layer distribution method and system. The method includes: first code original multicast data into multiple sub-flow, separately specify different shunt sub-source for every sub-flow, distribute sub-group address, create sub-group state, etc, form shunt structure. Then the sink send join news to each shunt sub-source, join each shunt sub-source sub-group and become the leaf node of each sub-tree. And then each shunt sub-source determine the intermediate node according to the port receiving join news and construct multicast distribution-tree. If the overlapping portion between the multicast distribution trees produce congestion, in the congestion nodes network coding is used to eliminate congestion and construct coding sub-tree according to the way of building multicast distribution tree from the below of the coding nodes.
