  • Patent number: 10939102
    Abstract: A post processing apparatus includes a super-resolution (SR) filtering circuit and a loop restoration (LR) filtering circuit. The SR filtering circuit applies SR filtering to a processing result of a preceding circuit. The LR filtering circuit applies LR filtering to a processing result of the SR filtering circuit. Before the SR filtering circuit finishes SR filtering of all pixels of a frame that are generated by the preceding circuit, the LR filtering circuit starts LR filtering of pixels that are derived from applying SR filtering to pixels included in the frame.

  • Publication number: 20210023678
    Abstract: A system controls a flow of a chemical mechanical polish (CMP) slurry into a chamber to form a slurry reservoir within the chamber. Once the slurry reservoir has been formed within the chamber, the system moves a polishing head to position and force a surface of a wafer that is attached to the polishing head into contact with a polishing pad attached to a platen within the chamber. A wafer/pad interface is formed at the surface of the wafer forced into contact with the polishing pad and the wafer/pad interface is disposed below an upper surface of the slurry reservoir. During CMP processing, the system controls one or more of a level, a force, and a rotation of the platen, a position, a force and a rotation of the polishing head to conduct the CMP processing of the surface of the wafer at the wafer/pad interface.

  • Publication number: 20210018857
    Abstract: A toner level detector includes a toner cartridge, an agitator, a reflective region, a first cleaner, a second cleaner and a transceiver. The toner cartridge stores toner, and has a light-permeable region. The agitator rotatably disposed in the toner cartridge agitates the toner. The reflective region is disposed on the agitator. The first cleaner is disposed on the agitator. The second cleaner is disposed on the toner cartridge. The transceiver disposed on a body outside the toner cartridge outputs an emitting signal to the reflective region through the light-permeable region. The reflective region reflects the emitting signal to generate a reflective signal received by the transceiver through the reflective region. The rotating first cleaner intermittently cleans the fixed light-permeable region, and the fixed second cleaner intermittently cleans the rotating reflective region.

  • Publication number: 20200378105
    Abstract: An automatic sewage regulation system and a regulating method are provided. The automatic sewage regulation system includes buffer tanks, an equalization tank, a sewage treatment apparatus and an automatic sewage regulating device. The automatic sewage regulating device includes sensing modules for sensing and transmitting water quality sensing values of sewage in the buffer tanks to a control module which outputs regulating signals to water flow regulators, so that the water flow regulators can regulate flowing volumes of the sewage of the buffer tanks according to the regulating signal, to keep a water quality sensing value of the sewage in the equalization tank within a preset range, thereby preventing the equalization tank from converging sewage having excessively-high or excessively-low water quality sensing value. As a result, burden of the sewage treatment apparatus can be reduced, and the lifetime of the sewage treatment apparatus can be extended.

  • Publication number: 20200342860
    Abstract: Methods for speaker role determination and scrubbing identifying information are performed by systems and devices. In speaker role determination, data from an audio or text file is divided into respective portions related to speaking parties. Characteristics classifying the portions of the data for speaking party roles are identified in the portions to generate data sets from the portions corresponding to the speaking party roles and to assign speaking party roles for the data sets. For scrubbing identifying information in data, audio data for speaking parties is processed using speech recognition to generate a text-based representation. Text associated with identifying information is determined based on a set of key words/phrases, and a portion of the text-based representation that includes a part of the text is identified. A segment of audio data that corresponds to the identified portion is replaced with different audio data, and the portion is replaced with different text.
