  • Publication number: 20240265526
    Abstract: An electrode plate detection apparatus, method and system are disclosed. The electrode plate detection apparatus includes a detection module and a first image acquisition module. The first image acquisition module is configured to acquire images of different coating regions on an electrode plate, and send the images of the different coating regions to the detection module. The detection module is configured to detect the electrode plate according to the images of the different coating regions. As the first image acquisition module can be configured to implement the acquisition of the images of the different coating regions on the electrode plate, compared with the need to use different image acquisition modules for different coating regions, the number of the image acquisition modules can be reduced, thereby reducing the cost of the electrode plate detection apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11787688
    Abstract: A method of forming an acoustic transducer comprises providing a substrate and depositing a first structural layer on the substrate. The first structural layer is selectively etched to form at least one of an enclosed trench or an enclosed pillar thereon. A second structural layer is deposited on the first structural layer and includes a depression or a bump corresponding to the enclosed trench or pillar, respectively. At least the second structural layer is heated to a temperature above a glass transition temperature of the second structural layer causing the second structural layer to reflow. A diaphragm layer is deposited on the second structural layer such that the diaphragm layer includes at least one of a downward facing corrugation corresponding to the depression or an upward facing corrugation corresponding to the bump. The diaphragm layer is released, thereby forming a diaphragm suspended over the substrate.

  • Patent number: 11604250
    Abstract: A transceiver may wirelessly transmit a communication signal at a first frequency and a sensing signal at a second frequency. The communication signal may include a command that causes a backscatter node to modulate impedance of an antenna, and thereby modulate reflectivity of the backscatter node. The communication signal may also deliver wireless power to the backscatter node. While the impedance is being modulated in response to the command, the transceiver may transmit the sensing signal and measure wireless reflections. The power of the sensing signal may be much lower than that of the communication signal. The transceiver may frequency hop the sensing signal in a wide band of frequencies and take measurements at each frequency in the hopping. Based on the measurements, a computer may determine time-of-flight or phase of a reflected signal from the backscatter node and may estimate location of the backscatter node with sub-centimeter precision.

  • Patent number: 11308291
    Abstract: A system may sense the contents of a closed container, by analyzing a wireless signal that reflects from an RFID tag on the outside of the container. The frequency response of the tag's antenna may be affected by the relative permittivity of the contents and by the tag's environment. The frequency response may be measured in a line-of-sight environment and in a multipath environment. Channel estimates may be calculated, based on the measurements. Channel ratios may be calculated by dividing line-of-sight channel estimates by multipath channel estimates. The resulting channel ratios may be fed into a variational autoencoder, which in turn generates synthetic data that contains information about multipath environments but not the contents. The output of the variational autoencoder may be converted into synthetic channel estimates, which may in turn be employed for anomaly detection, or to train a classifier to classify contents of the container.
